The Red Lion

A beautiful hotel in the centre of the village with a very good breakfast. Highly recommended.

When we arrived, the staff wasn't very welcoming and we felt uncomfortable. However, they did take our heavy packs since we were early, so we could explore this quaint village. When we returned to the small pub below our room, they didn't know who we were. There are 5 rooms total! I don't think anyone else was staying there. Our room was decorated well, but the carpet wasn't clean. It is clear that dogs are allowed, and follow-up cleaning after their stay isn't done well. My allergies were killing me. The TV wasn't working and is ancient. The manager fixed the fuse issue. The bathroom was updated and modern. The tiles in the shower need to be deep-cleaned. The mattress wasn't great, so if you have back problems like me, it will be a challenge. The owner convinced us to have dinner in the pub, but when we went down, they asked if we had reservations. We were seated, but the manager came over and said they had a large party coming in, so we would have to wait a while to order. It was frustrating. My son's macaroni and cheese was amazing. My vegan Sunday roast was average with too much gravy, and I had a sick stomach all night. I didn't expect too much from a small country pub and inn, but despite the setbacks, we enjoyed Lacock and the Inn overall. The owner told us how to find the Harry Potter filming sites in the morning, but we had researched them the day before and had already done that. It would have been helpful on check-in. There were many films and TV shows filmed here.

Spacious double room, well equipped, complimentary hot drinks and biscuits in rooms. Stayed for an evening meal and breakfast. All service and food superb. Plenty of menu options. Staff very attentive leading to a very enjoyable friends Birthday celebration. The pub itself is full of character but all clean and tidy.
