“Converted into an elegant B&B by owners Peter Steggall and Orlando Murrin, Langford Fivehead is a 15th-century manor house set in seven acres of landscaped gardens in the Somerset Levels. The property comprises six beautiful en-suite bedrooms and one bedroom without a bathroom (taken in conjunction with the neighbouring room) as well as Dukie’s Cottage, a charming self-catered cottage sleeping six. Gourmet dinners are prepared by the talented Orlando (a former Masterchef competitor) and served ‘en-famille’ at the long oak dining table, accompanied by wines from Peter’s cellar. Orlando also gives flamboyant cookery demonstrations as part of Langford’s two-night Country House Weekend packages. In addition to countless local attractions, Langford’s tennis court, bicycles, extensive grounds and well-stocked library ensure guests never complain of boredom.”
