A charming village pub/restaurant in the heart of Lacock. We planned my mum's 70th there and the…read morestaff were really helpful from the beginning. Everyone was quick to respond to questions about the food/allergies and also about the bedroom set up. When we arrived, the team was welcoming and allowed us to set up a little bit early as we had hired a private room. The private room was expensive but it was a holiday weekend so understandable. Everyone was very happy with their food. Our large group ordered a variety of à la carte and set menu items. Most of the party had the beef shin and loved it. The burger was absolutely delicious too. The desserts were a good size and not too sweet at the end of a big meal. The food was reasonably priced but the sides of veggies were a bit ridiculous. We paid £14 for a few pieces of broccolini! The ambiance was great though and it was just the perfect place to throw a surprise party. There is no parking at the Angel, but there's a big car park about a 5-7 minute walk away (pay when you park). There is street parking much closer, but it got very busy after 10am and the roads are very small to navigate if you're not used to driving in this area. The hotel rooms were so quaint and cosy (very Harry Potter vibes). We have some very tall family members who had to crouch down a lot but it definitely added to the ambience. Our only bad experience and criticism was over breakfast the following morning. The service was terrible (it was not the same team as the previous day) and they were not particularly friendly. One breakfast came out about 30 minutes before the rest. I then went to ask if there was a problem and suddenly all the rest came out, but every dish was extremely cold and had clearly been sitting on the side as the sauce on the eggs benedict had set. We would have sent it back but as it took so long we only had a few minutes to check out of our rooms once everyone had finished. This would have been a 5 star review otherwise. As we were leaving, some of the lunch staff from the day before were coming and immediately greeted us again. Much better customer service! Overall a great experience but definitely let down by the morning staff.

My only regret about eating here was that I can't eat here often. I contacted the restaurant about…read morea month ago asking if they had vegan fare and they got right back saying they did. We made a reservation, to which we arrived slightly early. The place was empty (about 6.30pm), but by the time we left a few hours later, it was bustling. I had the vegan tempura starter, eggroll main (which I'm still thinking about), and the plum rice pudding dessert (which I sadly had to share with my partner). I'd eat all of it again. And again. And again. My partner had the scallop starter (on specials menu) which he describes as "divine". And he loved his lamb main so much that he actually started to pace his eating to make it last longer. Ambiance is beautiful, service is spectacular. With two starters, two mains, a pudding, and a bottle of prosecco, our bill was just over £80 - for the quality, we'd gladly pay that again in a heartbeat. I'd very happily come back to Lacock every time I'm back in England just to eat here.

On August 31st, my family and I were on a tour with a wonderful guide (Jill Pretorius of Windsor…read moreDay Tours)... We had already walked all over Winchester, we were on our way to Stonehenge, we were excited and hungry, but also jet lagged and exhausted! Jill brought us to The White Lion joking that, being only 400 years old, it was practically a brand new pub! We came in (mind your head), and were immediately sat down at a big, groaning, family table! Water was served, beers and ciders followed, and then meat pies and fish and chips were ordered all around! This meal was absolutely delicious in the way that only homemade country pub food can be. The cider selection was excellent, and we left refreshed, happy, and ready to take on the rest of our day (mind you, we ALL passed out cold in the van after Stonehenge and on the way back to our hotel)! Thank you so much to the ladies of The White Lion Inn & Pub for your extremely warm hospitality!! Much love! I hope to make it back one day!

Nicest B& B ever, they were really nice to my kids as well. Would come back. Thanks for breakfast!read more

The Tasburgh House Hotel is an extraordinary and professional small hotel that feels like a…read morebed-and-breakfast. We stayed here for three nights while exploring the area. The location of the hotel is excellent; it's about a mile outside of Bath's center and offers amazing views of the surrounding hilly region, and the walk to town is a beautiful stroll along the Kennet and Avon Canal (unless it's chilly and raining hard in which case the cab ride is short!). We took an $8 cab ride from the train station when we arrived in Bath. It is the superb service at this hotel that makes this five-star rating such an easy choice. Sue, Grant, and the other members of the staff were amazing. In particular, Sue went out of her way on several occasions to make our experience extraordinary. We first arrived at the hotel from London after a long day, and her graciousness and hospitality at that late hour made us feel completely at home right away. After learning our preferences, she made reservations for us at two wonderful restaurants; in general, her knowledge of the surrounding attractions, restaurants, and shops seemed almost encyclopedic. She is very, very good at what she does. Our room was relatively small and meticulously furnished. Details were attended to, and the view of the attached gardens was peaceful and beautiful. The hot water pressure wasn't great, but I'll live. I can't recommend this place more highly.

What an absolutely delightful way to enjoy Bath and the beautiful countryside surrounding it! My…read morewife is a wizard at choosing perfect accommodations when we travel, so for our first trip to England, she scoured the internet for the perfect place for our two-day getaway to Bath. She could not have chosen a better spot! First, the place is perfectly located about a mile outside the center of town, so we could enjoy the brilliant views of the hills surrounding Bath from our window, yet still have easy access to town. We parked our car in the driveway (a major bonus in this densely populated area) and left it there during our entire stay. The location is quiet and secluded, but we didn't feel isolated or distant from town. We had easy access to everything we wanted to see and do in Bath within a 15-20 minute walk. Also, Tasburgh House is midway between Bath and Bathampton, so the two quaint pubs in the latter (the George and Bathampton Inn) were easily accessible, either from the road in front or from the tow path along the canal running in back of the House. Second, the place is gorgeous. The grounds are meticulously manicured in true English fashion, and the building has exactly the old-world charm that we Americans were looking for. Our room was comfortable, if a bit small for our US tastes, but the absolutely spectacular view and prime location made up for any small criticisms that we might have. And the breakfast! I'm a huge breakfast fan, and the simple "continental" breakfast was unique and delicious. I expected danishes and jam, but we got this scrumptious Bath granola, fresh fruit, local cheeses and meats, natural yogurt with mango purée, and coffee in a French press. Yum! When you think "quaint English inn," Tasburgh House is probably the picture you have in your head. Sue and her staff were so friendly and helpful, too. What a joy. Our time there was fantastic, and I would not hesitate to stay there again if ever we return to Bath. Highly recommended.

The room was lovely and spacious (we stayed in the Royal Gala room). The room and house was clean and quiet. All essentials were provided including hair dryer and fan. The dresser was stocked daily with teas, hot chocolate and biscuits. Breakfast was amazing. Ling had a menu of several different options which she prepared to order. Sadly we don't have any pictures because they were so appetizing we ate right away! In addition, toast, yogurt, cereal were available as well. French press coffee was made fresh for each couple, or tea as desired. The walk to town was a short 5-10 minutes and we appreciated the quiet neighborhood this bed and breakfast was located in. Ling even left us a box of chocolates, chocolate liquor shots and flowers with a thank you note / happy anniversary note on our last night. A real nice touch (see photo). We will definitely be referring our friends here and staying here in the future if we visit Bath again.

The guest house is located on a quite residential street and a 5 minute walk to the city center…read more Parking is available in their parking lot in the back. The hosts, a young couple, were both very cheery and friendly. They were helpful with the luggage, and made recommendations of things to see and do while in Bath. The room was on the top floor, and was a bit tight. There was little room to spread out for a two night stay. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was also tight. The flat screen TV required manually turning it on before controlling it with the remote, and that wasn't as easy as the hand note instructed. The kettle needed to be cleaned out. For the double room that we got, £85 GBP per night, which required a £50 GBP deposit, which you had to pay by credit card and pay £2 GBP fee to use your credit card. This was not my first choice to stay for two night in Bath.
