The Langston was built by the Earl of Ducie as a hunting lodge with stabling for forty horses in the 1870s. It was built using stone from the private quarry of his father-in-law, Squire Langston. It later became a popular hotel.
In 1985 it was turned into a residential home. The property was chosen not only for its suitability in having wide corridors and no steps within the building, but...

I have been so pleased with the overall standard of The Langston Nursing Home. The relevant options below show how I highly recommend The Langston. There is nothing I can add to improve anything. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind review, it means a lot to our team.
I have nothing but praise for the incredible staff at The Langston. Experienced, knowledgeable, highly professional and kind, they do a terrific job that our family are extremely grateful for. It's a testament to the quality of management that the home reacted to the Covid crisis immediately and probably way ahead of the game. So they've been able to effectively protect both residents and staff from the start, whilst also being sensitive to the emotional needs of residents and their visitors. The only reason I've submitted four, rather than five, stars for facilities is the lack of outside space. Clearly, several lockdowns have prevented some planned works. So I hope that cost/budget permitting, they'll be able to make some improvements in this area. It's also worth pointing out that The Langston has a very close relationship with the local GP practice, which I think is another huge plus point. In a nutshell, an excellent nursing home.
Thank you for the kind response, much appreciated. Points noted.
You can drop by anytime and share a cup of tea to a meal with your loved one. No reasonable request has ever been denied.
We are so grateful that The Langston is close by. We looked at many nursing homes before we chose The Langston, it was by far the most homely and friendly. They have lots of interesting visitors from magicians, and musical performers to the local vicar. The in-house craft ladies also do a wonderful job. The Langston is clean, warm and comfortable with a fantastic house team.
Excellent, thank you for the review. Much appreciated.
It's always a pleasure to visit The Langston Residential & Nursing Home. The home is friendly and warm. The staff are available to tend to all the residents' needs. When I visited today, the home had a lovely new look with decorators doing a lovely job of making the home bright and fresh. It's this kind of thing that makes The Langston homely. I would have no hesitation in recommending The Langston to families and their loved ones.
Great to hear this. Thank you for your kind review.
We know my husband is very challenging but everyone is so kind, patient and understanding, we couldn't ask for more.
We are kept well informed and nothing is too much trouble.
We would recommend The Langston because it is first-class, we are so grateful that you were able to take him when he needed to go into care. Thank you so much.
Thank you for the kind comments. Much appreciated, it means a lot to our team.
This is a truly excellent nursing home. The staff are kind, friendly, compassionate, well-trained and highly skilled. Mum is extremely well cared for. The staff have got to know her very well, taking account of her personal preferences and ways. There is not a 'commercial' atmosphere but rather a 'family feel' and The Langston is a good size for staff to get to know residents personally. The manager and deputy manager are highly experienced and very responsive to any requests or suggestions - the fact that they are both fully qualified nurses is also very reassuring. I visit frequently and am always made very welcome by the staff. It's important to note that this is a nursing home rather than a care home, so there is also a fully qualified nurse on duty at all times. This is a real help when it comes to medication and any health concerns. Mum really enjoys the home cooking and the varied activities provided and her room is warm and comfortable. The Langston is highly recommended.
Thank you for your kind review, it means a lot to our team. Much appreciated.
The manageress and staff are very professional and caring.
I am very happy with the care my father receives. The care and compassion is fantastic. My only negative is lack of outside space. The food and choices are always lovely, the activities are always varied and the photos we get to see are very reassuring.
I find the home very friendly and clean. I don't get to see my brother very often because I lost my husband and I go when a member of my family can take me.
On all my visits to see my friend, I have found the staff to be very helpful. They are obviously caring well for her as she seems happy and tells me that she is content and eating well etc.
My mother is 99 and has age related health issues, though not Dementia. She needs more help now with everything from mobility, washing, toilet needs and eating. The young staff at The Langston Residential & Nursing Home are very caring and friendly and importantly respectful, where dignity is lost. The management are supportive and the building well maintained.
Despite this, the staff have been consistently kind and caring and I feel my mother is receiving good care under difficult circumstances.
The area where I feel they are weak (and perhaps this a problem with all care homes) is communication on the status of the patient. There are multiple parties involved Doctor, Nurse, Care, Managers, there also quite a high turnover of staff. A care communication plan ought to be agreed and adhered to. I am surprised communication isn't included as a measure of quality below.
My mother is treated with respect and courtesy. She is able to make decisions regarding her food, dressing and what time she gets up and leaves her room. There are interesting activities and special themed days too.
Mum is very happy and settled and has a good rapport with all the staff.
My mother is in for respite care. I was so impressed by the care of the staff, so lovely to her and such gentleness and respect. They also treated me and my family with such care and warmth, with tea and lovely cake and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you so much.
I have found the staff, all staff from managers, nurses, carers and cleaners courteous, helpful and sympathetic. I have visited a number of care homes offering dementia care in recent months. The Langston Nursing Home I judge to be the best I have seen by a wide margin. Their care teams from nurses to residents are both competent and caring. I would strongly recommend The Langston Nursing Home for patients with dementia knowing that they would treat the patients with dignity, care and kindness.
Shortly after arriving at The Langston Nursing Home, my mother became gradually ill, having suffered from dementia for a number of years. The end of life care given to my mother was nothing short of outstanding - all staff clearly competent, well-informed and helpful at this difficult time. I would not hesitate to recommend The Langston Nursing Home to anyone. Very many thanks to all of the team who made my mother's last few weeks so comfortable.
My mother is very well cared for by kind, friendly and considerate carers. There is a very friendly atmosphere in the home and a high percentage of the carers have worked there for at least a year. The manager and nurses are available for discussions and a local doctor visits regularly. The food is made in the kitchen and is of good quality. The likes and needs of individual patients are catered for. It is very comforting to know that my mother is in good hands.
Husband's behaviour can be difficult but staff always handle well.
Public rooms recently redecorated. I can visit at any time and am always welcomed.
Good, recent care during husband's infection avoided distressing hospital admission.
All rooms, corridors and lavatories are very clean at all times.
I always get well treated by everyone in the office, Orangerie and gardens are always well kept and seasonal plants used to suit.
I am happy here, I have friends and the staff are lovely, everyone talks to me.
