The Governor's House

Nestled in the very heart of the historic village of Lacock, The Governor's House boasts a second floor bedroom complete with a kingsize 4-poster bed, delightful views over the church and village on 3 sides and an exceptionally high quality mattress and bedding, while the first floor offers a spacious lounge with a dining area, coffee machine and TV and a beautifully designed shower room. The historic building has been recently been refurbished in a contemporary yet cosy English style.
Step outside to enjoy a private courtyard garden, complete with outdoor seating, atmospheric lighting, and a fire bowl.
The Governor's House offers the luxury of guaranteed parking in the our large gated driveway (a rarity in Lacock).
A breakfast hamper will be delivered to your doorstep at a time of your choosing. This includes granola, pastries, yoghurt, fruit, jam and butter as standard but we will happily adapt to your dietary requirements and preferences- just let us know.

Magical Stay

I booked one nights stay as my daughter and I were at Badminton Horse Trials. I had not researched the location before going so was amazed to enter the beautiful village of Lacock. The whole place is unique and the property is so beautiful. We were met by our hosts Rufus and his wife and they could not have been more welcoming. Couldn’t believe with my daughter being the biggest Harry Potter fan we were right in the location for some of the filming. The accommodation was lovely - very thoughtfully decorated and fantastic location. Will definitely book again if we are in the area. 10/10. .
