The interior features an open fireplace and flagstone floors that reflect the Georgian character of the property. Guests can explore the rich history of the building, which has ties to famous screen productions filmed in Lacock.
Dining
The on-site restaurant serves classic pub favorites and seasonal dishes, with an extensive menu that includes gluten-free options and daily specials. Award-winning Wadworth ales are available on draught, and the kitchen uses local produce for customizable dining experiences.
