The Good Hotel Guide 2008 -2012
Which? Hotel Guide
"With its row upon row of beautifully
preserved cottages - some half timbered, some of golden stone - Lacock is
the perfect example of an English country village . The National Trust has
owned the village since 1944, which is fortunate for the Levis family, who
have have held the lease of this historic inn since 1953, as it relieves them
of the financial burden of caring for the building's more delicate features:
some of them, such as wood beams, stone fireplaces, flagstones and horse-hair
plasterwork, could be up to four centuries old.
The interlocking dining-rooms are plainly furnished with wooden tables
and benches. The menus have a traditional focus, and include dishes such as
wild boar sausages with Cumberland sauce, pan fried lambs' kidneys in Madeira,
or a pan fried fillet of beef with peppercorn sauce.
Upstairs, a cosier, wood panelled lounge is the central point from which
crooked corridors lead to atmospheric bedrooms, through doorways apparently
designed for midgets (by twentieth-century standards). Furnishings - dark,
carved beds and chests - fit the period."
