Historic 4-star Edwardian manor built by King Edward VII, named Best Hotel in Bournemouth by the Guardian
Rooms & Suites
Each of the 13 bedrooms is individually styled by designers Portfolio London, mixing original Victorian charm with contemporary luxury. Select rooms offer four-poster beds and spa baths, while suites like the Presidential Suite or Kings Room feature balconies and freestanding baths. The décor includes original pieces from the Lillie Langtry era, displayed on the first floor.
Dining & Facilities
Breakfast is served at the sister hotel, Derby Manor, just across the road, offering cooked-to-order full English and a buffet with pastries, fresh fruit, and cereals. The Langtry Manor has no evening restaurant or bar, but guests can use the bar and lounge at Derby Manor. A communal lounge in the manor provides complimentary tea, coffee, and biscuits, plus a shared TV area.
History & Awards
Built in 1877 by King Edward VII for his mistress, actress Lillie Langtry, the manor retains original stained glass, a minstrel gallery in the dining room, and historic fireplaces. The Guardian newspaper named it the 'best hotel in Bournemouth,' recognizing its royal heritage and authentic character. Informational displays throughout the property recount the story of Lillie Langtry and the king's visits.
Location & Nearby Attractions
The hotel is a 5-minute walk from Bournemouth's cliff tops and Eastcliff Beach, and roughly 1 mile from the town centre and pier. Within driving distance are Portsmouth Naval Museum, Beaulieu Motor Museum, and the Jurassic Coast for fossil hunting. The South West Coast Path is a short stroll away, offering coastal walks along the Dorset coastline.
Family & Children
Children's meals can be arranged with prior notice to the kitchen, served at the sister hotel's breakfast service. Cots are not advertised, but families may request additional bedding. The hotel's self-check-in via keycode removes the need for physical keys, and free on-site parking is available for all guests.

History: King Edward VII's former residence for Lillie Langtry
Awards: Best Hotel in Bournemouth by the Guardian
Rooms: Individually designed by Portfolio London with four-poster beds & spa baths
Breakfast: Cooked-to-order at sister hotel Derby Manor

“This historic manor possesses a distinct character, offering spacious, well-appointed rooms that contribute to a restful stay. While breakfast is enjoyed at a sister property, the convenience of ample free parking and quiet surroundings within reach of town amenities are notable advantages. It stands as a genuinely authentic alternative to more standardized accommodations.”
