Very quaint and quirky. Staff were friendly and helpful. We loved that Harry Potter was filmed here and there is so much history. We only spent an overnight stay as we were at a wedding, but wished we had more time. Highly recommend.

Fantastic building, comfortable rooms and good food
Fabulous old building and super comfortable warm rooms, central location in Lacock. Great restaurant with delicious vegan and vegetarian options and a super full English breakfast too for the meat eaters. Lovely staff that are knowledgeable and friendly.
It’s historic and full of history . You are in the middle of a historic village Lacock and have so much to visit from the hotel . The bed and meals were good with all your needs catered for .
Staff at the property were lovely and customer service was great. Lacock village was very quiet so would recommend bringing something to entertain yourself in the evenings
This was a very cool 15th century building, and you can tell: low doorways, sloped floors, ancient doors-- it's all there. The room was great, the bed was comfortable, the bathroom was nice, the shared parlor was a bonus. But, if you just want to bask in history, this is the place to stay. And, as an extra treat, the front of the building was featured in Harry Potter 5. We loved it!
The property is 600 years old. It doesn’t get more historic than that. What a fun and amazing experience. Dinner in the restaurant was delicious and our room was clean and spacious and perfect for a little getaway.
Very kind staff. We forgot something in the room and noticed that we came back to London. They were so kind to send them back. Would like to stay once again.

Character hotel
Built in 1492 or thereabouts, it is a building of a certain time. Doorways are low, floors a little uneven etc. Not unsafe but one needs to take care.
Bed very comfortable and bathroom very good.
We had a very nice stay at the Sign of the Angel. Even though the room was not very big, it had all we needed. It was a different experience. We wanted to stay in place with history, wooden beams and character and we definitevely got that - as well as comfort. The food was amazing, very gourmet, and the staff were fantastic. Super nice and helpful! The hotel has a lovely garden area where you can eat or drink outdoors. Loved it!
The Angel was a spur of tge moment stay, while visiting a customer.
This is a natural trust area, lots of history in Lacock.
The propery is as close to original as possible, very old world. Rooms are sympathetically updated, to include en-suite bathroom.
Accessed via cobble streets, the smell of coal fires, sound of horses and laughter. Nostalgic to say the least.
Staff are great, food is good, fire is warm, rooms are silent. If you cant sleep here, you wont sleep anywhere!
Ive seen comments about parking, to clarify, this is an old tavern as such. There is no parking at the property. Its a small village, you wont get lost on the short walk from the Trust / Red lion car park to the property, and a nice stroll at that, via the pub, which serves nice cake! And the sweetshop, stables, bakery, oh and the Gin brewer...
Cant fault it, and will stay again. BTW, try the Bananna, maple syrup and bacon pancakes in the morning, thank me later
This property was lovely to stay at. It lent an atmosphere of peace and calm, and felt like I was stepping back in time. The staff were lovely and friendly. And the food was excellent.
This charming Inn was just what we wanted, old world charm mixed with great accommodations. The food from breakfast to dinner was wonderful. The garden area was equally warm and inviting.
