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.

we loved the red lion. The staff was so helpful and courteous. The continental breakfast was much more… The bar was great! Our room was charming… We couldn’t ask for more in a hotel with great access to Avebury and the Cotswald.

Such a magical place to stay for the nearby town. All of the Harry Potter filming locations were awesome to see and the town was so chill. There was something very D&D about checking in with the bar keep to get a room at the Inn above the pub. We absolutely loved staying here, and everyone was extremely kind.

Thank you

Lovely, perfect, comfortable, refreshing, wonderful....except, room 1 is over the kitchen, so you hear and feel the kitchen extractor fan that gets switched off about 23:00 and on again at 07:30. Lovely breakfast too. Excellent fruit platter. Every meal was excellent there.

The Red Lion is a property steeped in history and it is hard to create modern standards in such an old building. That being said, everything was clean and tidy and the service was excellent. We would not hesitate to stay again and would recommend it to friends
