Had the great pleasure of staying at the Laingdon over the Veteran's Day Holday. Angie and Bill, the hosts, were delightful and the amenities of the hotel were well more than you would expect at a typical seaside resort. The bathroom was far above the average Inn/B&B. Their view of the Ocean is spectacular and only a few steps away!... More

I booked one of the balcony rooms for several nights at the end of September due to an event. Because the weather was cool, I didn't have to worry about air conditioning problems. I was told the A/C was having problems and there was a plastic bag covering the top of the antique bar below the A/C unit, but as... More

I should have trusted my instincts and cancelled our two night reservation after reading the reviews of this hotel. We reserved two rooms on the top floor ocean front. Not even a "hello" upon checking in. Both the man and the woman seemed irritated to have to check our group in (rented three rooms in total - 6 people). Got... More

We are sorry that your stay with us was less than stellar. We take pride in our many return customers who stay here in beautiful Ocean Grove. Our Air Conditioners are indoor mounted and drain through our walls. We have had only one area of our building effected by leaks and have had several technicians in to fix them. Yes... More

We spent 2 nights here in late June before the summer rates... we had a beautiful room with a large balcony overlooking the ocean. We parked our car in front and didnt get in it til we checked out ! You can walk on boardwalk, to the town to eat in a variety of restaurants , many are BYOB. Our... More

Our room at the Laingdon was lovely- Victorian with a large modern bath & a screened porch overlooking the ocean. The room was very clean & comfortable & it was so nice to fall asleep listening to the surf. We also enjoyed taking our breakfast trays up to the 2nd floor porch. The beach entrance was directly across the street.... More

Spent Labor Day weekend at this hotel with our 2 grown children. Although the hotel has been renovated and looks nice, the innkeepers need to treat their guests with a more welcoming and warm attitude. Our room was lovely looking but the air conditioning was not working in the part of the suite where our kids were sleeping (and it... More

although the views of the ocean were beautiful, the cost of the room was outrageous for what services we received. the very meager cold breakfast ( basically children's cereal and toast) was buffet-style on paper plates and plastic forks! the little closet that was set up as the "hospitality room" had water, soda and chips that you had to pay...

What a pleasant surprise. I knew we would like being by the shore but the family and the atmosphere of the house were so accommodating and friendly. I enjoyed it and my mom had a fantastic time handing out on the huge upper deck porch watching the dolphins go by. What's really great is the proximity to great restaurants, antique... More

My sister and I stayed here for our birthday. It is a charming, Victorian decor directly facing the ocean. We stayed on the top floor with the private terrace- you could here the waves crashing, and could see the ocean from your bed! Angie and Bill were extremely helpful. The decor felt like you were back in time- a perfect... More

We found Laingdon House to be a nice, but the most overpriced accomodation during an eight-state tour down the U.S East Coast in June 2008 with two adults + two teenager boys. The elderly couple running Laingdon was nice and the room was large with a nice old-style flavour about it. Also the ocean-view porches were refreshing and comfortable and... More
