The foundation stone for the building
itself was laid in 1890, and the house took some five years to complete.
It was first opened as a hotel in 1930. However, there are artifacts in
the hotel which date back as far as 1664. Large imposing rooms, oak-panelled
and mellowed with the years, a collection of fine oil paintings, ornate
carved fireplaces and the magnificent oak staircase tell their own story
of a hotel rich in history and character. Blessed with so many
architectural and decorative examples of our heritage, not to mention
hidden treasures, such as the original mosaic floors in the porch, laid
by craftsman brought over from Italy, the house is listed as one of
national and historic interest. The Hotel's outstanding interior and
location, made it a natural choice for the classic English country house
in Alfred Hitchcock's production of "The Paradine Case",
starring Gregory Peck, and more recently in the BBC's portrayal of the
life of Donald Campbell. The Langdale Chase history
book charting the story of Langdale Chase Hotel from 1890 to present is
available from reception for a small fee. Whatever time of year you choose to visit, whether during the busy
summer season or in the crisp winter months, Hornacott remains the same
peaceful haven to return to after a day in the Cornish countryside
