The hotel staff were very welcoming and delivered a very nice evening meal quite quickly. Breakfast was very good with plenty of choice. The room was comfortable and the wifi strong.
As the hotel is in the centre of Lacock, its a great location for exploring the village and the abbey. The graveyard is also worth a visit.

I had a warm welcome and my case was taken up to my room. The room was large with king sized bed. All clean, dated, but that suited the age of hotel! There was a small table with kettle and a selection of tea, coffee etc. Large en-suite with large shower.
Lots of choices on breakfast menu and cooked freshly. Parking was easy.
Location was excellent. 5 minutes walk to Lacock Abbey. Lacock is a very small place but very interesting.

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.

The welcome and booking in was good and we were assisted to our room. The room was spacious with sufficient furnishings and nice big windows. The bed was big and comfortable. The bathroom was roomy with a bath - all good in there except the extractor fan wasn't working which is not uncommon. The decor was bit tired, some interior doors difficult to close, big sash windows not easy to operate, but this a Georgian listed building after all.
The menu for the evening meal was not to our taste, with one or two choices we might have made being unavailable. The staff seemed indifferent to this and we ate elsewhere. The kitchen was out of action at breakfast time for which apologies were made and we were sent to their sister pub down the road. Most of the breakfast was just ok, but toast was awful. It had not been properly toasted so most of the bread was raw, it been spread with margarine before serving which had melted making the bread soggy, and there were scorch patterns on it and lumps of carbon which must have come off whatever device it had been briefly put in.
Overall, i think we would stay again on the strength of the room and bed and location, but expecting to eat dinner elsewhere and hoping the breakfast failings were a one-off.

An awesome place to stay in an authentic old English village. Close to so much history and culture. The Inn has great food and beer and the staff are super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend it and Lacock.

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

Lovely location in a Countryside location.Very friendly staff with attentive service. Only a couple of observations. Poor water supply to shower and this area needed to have some mould removed in the cubicle. I just wish I’d taken my doggies with me.
