Barn Cottages at Lacock

The cottage is located within a short distance from some of the prettiest villages in the Wiltshire area. As such it makes it a great base for exploration. It is also close to Chippenham with its shopping centre and historical buildings. The cottage is on a quiet lane surrounded by fields. The view out the back of the cottage is towards the west so were treated to some spectacular sunsets. The facilities are plentiful with all the kitchen tools you would need for a stay. The owners were around and introduced themselves to us. A lovely couple who were keen to make us comfortable. Ours was one of three in a row barn conversions. The second bedroom is on a mezzanine floor with some very steep steps, think "fixed ladder". So this could be a consideration with younger children. Each cottage has a patio area out front with a table and sun umbrella. A nice place to sit with a holiday beer in the cool of the evening.

I cant think of anything that spoiled our stay there.

Lovely self-catering cottage in an excellent location near to Chippenham. It's a small cottage with the second bedroom in the roof up a steep flight of stairs but absolutely ideal for a short stay. Everything that we could have wanted was catered for - washing-up liquid and dishwasher tablets, tissues, kitchen roll etc (which are often not in other properties). Parking was good as well with plenty of room and an utterly charming host, who welcomed us when we arrived and then left us to ourselves, but with immediate contact details should anything have gone amiss - which it didn't...

There was absolutely nothing that any of the three of us could think of that could be improved at all. It was a very lovely place to stay and we would happily go back.

A lovely location up a lane off a main road so it felt properly in the country but it was easy to get out and about to places like Laycock, Corsham, Frome, etc. etc. Very peaceful and tranquil, clean and well equipped - we very much enjoyed our short break.

The stairs to the upper bedroom are steep and wouldn't be suitable for an older couple or, I think, for young children

The host was very welcoming. It had a good shower

The beds and pillows were really uncomfortable. My husband is 6’4” and his legs didn’t fit on the bed, which was made worse by the wooden bed frame. We were a family of four and found the place slightly under-equipped for us. It would probably be fine for a couple, but I wouldn’t say it’s suitable for families, especially those with small children, due to the very steep staircase.
