Have just returned from a 3 night stay at the Old Rectory and both my wife and I can honestly say we will definately be going back. The room was lovely, spotlessly clean. The bathroom was cleaned every day. The service was excellent! On our return to the room each night we found a fresh cannister of milk for us... more

Admittedly we had the best spring day of the year, but our weekend in Lacock was heaven. The Old Rectory is perfectly positioned to just walk down to the village and there was secure parking up a drive. Elaine our host was very friendly and informative about a great variety to do in the area. In fact we were happy... more

We have just returned home after spending a 2 night stay at the Rectory which is acting as the start of our honeymoon. Having arrived several hours late due to horrific traffic and well outside the checking in time we were greeted by our hostess in her nightwear due to her staying up to wait for us so that we... more

We (me and the husband) stayed at the Old Rectory for a few days during that scorching July in 2006. We had always fancied staying at Lacock - such a lovely little village. The room was grubby to say the least, one of the 2 windows didn't open - and during a heat wave, you need to open a window.... more

I find it very strange that someone would 'out of the blue' write a review some two years after they have stayed. There were a number of inaccuracies in the review. We are not part of English Heritage and referring to what someone else said in a taxi is hearsay. Its difficult to say 'everything is cheap' when I could...

It's been over a year since we stayed at the Old Rectory, but I am still greatly stung by my disappointment at the experience. It is a lovely building and the breakfast is good - and that's all that was good about our experience. British B & Bs used to be known for their warmth and friendliness - many hosts... more

This review is mainly based around the guests inability to book in. We always arrange with guests a time to check in. Because the review mentions the housekeeping girl, this suggests is it in the morning before check in time. Maybe the guests had come direct from the airport. There is always two sides to every story and if they...

I stayed in the annex of this building, which comprises a kitchen, lounge and en suite bathroom. Nice location, owner seemed friendly. Not the cleanest place I have ever stayed in - bath in particular very grubby: didn't fancy washing myself in it! That was just as well as the bulb had been taken from there which made washing after... more

The welcome wasn't a welcome, the room was very very dirty and noisy, the breakfast was awful. The best thing to do is look at the building wich is lovely, and stay elsewhere. more

We recently stayed here with friends for 2 nights. Lovely intersting location, B&B left lot to be desired for the price. Pretty grounds, standard of accommodation not worthy of 4 diamonds. Our mattress was well past sell by date - topped with foam, then old eiderdown then mattress cover in attempt to make more comfortable! The bedding was very faded... more

Charming old buliding within wakling distance of village shops and pubs. We were 6 nights in the big four-poster room which was very comfortable. Owner very friendly. However the standards of cleanliness in the bedrooms, hallway and breakfast room were "relaxed". Faded flowers in murky water vases were not changed during our entire stay, our room was notably dusty and... more

Stayed at the Old Rectory, Lacock for 2 nights with our 2 year old. We had a four poster room overlooking the front of the property. Is a family run B & B just up the hill from village centre. Had very enjoyable stay; the cooked breakfasts were excellent and the owners very welcoming. Atmosphere was very casual, guests seem... more
