About this property

The Rectory Lacock, family accommodation in the heart of Lacock

  • The Rectory Lacock is a secure gated site comprising a Boutique B&B with two holiday cottages in the grounds. Converted from the original former rectory stables, Lenton is the larger of our two cottages. It has a vaulted roof in the lounge/dining area and large windows including French doors over looking the fields and stables. Lenton Cottage has one double room for adults with a king sized bed and a second bedroom with a truckle bed for children only. The truckle bed provides our guests with a double bed and a single bunk bed above. Lenton Cottage accommodates a maximum of two adults, and three children in the truckle bed. It does not accommodate more than two adults or adults in separate beds. The cottage is ideally suited for a couple, a young family or business people working in the local area.

    Lenton Cottage is well equipped with a modern fully fitted kitchen including an electric cooker and hob, dishwasher, microwave and fridge. There is a bathroom with a rain shower, WC and washbasin. All linen and towels are included. The cottage has WIFI access as well as TV and DVD player. An iron and ironing board are available. There is on-site parking available for one car per cottage only.

    The cottage shares a dedicated patio area and garden with Wheeler Cottage.

    The Rectory Lacock is a Grade II listed Victorian building built in 1866. Sitting in 6 acres of private Wiltshire countryside, the Rectory is just a 2 minute leisurely walk from the heart of the medieval National Trust village of Lacock.

    The two holiday cottages are in the grounds of the Rectory, where our guests have the privacy of their own dedicated patio area and a separate private garden, exclusively available to our cottage guests. Each cottage has two bedrooms and all of the facilities that our guests would expect to find in good quality self-catering accommodation.

    The beautiful village of Lacock is a firm favourite for film and TV producers due to its notably picturesque streets and historic cottages, all unspoilt by modern alterations. The village has been used as a setting for Downton Abbey, Pride and Prejudice, Cranford and Harry Potter. Very recently, the village has been used for the filming the final Downton Abbey movie in Sep 2018.

    The cottages are also ideally suited to people visiting the local area including Bath, Stonehenge, Avebury and Longleat.

Spotless cottage in beautiful village.

Comfortable beds in a very clean cottage. We loved the proximity of the village pubs. The only (tiny) downside was that we could hear the noise of the traffic from the nearby A road.

Beautiful home in a lovely village

The Rectory was beautiful. The property was spotless and the owners very friendly. We lived being able to walk to the little village of Lacock for dinner and it was also lovely for running. The setting is very private and quiet. The kitchen had all the basics needed and the home was generally very comfortable. We would definitely stay again

Excellent!

Only there for two nights, but its a clean, warm, well appointed, equipped, furnished and managed newish two bedroom apartment, set in the grounds of a lovely old house. The owner is a delight, very helpful, and leaves you alone to 'do your thing'. There is easy access to the roads into Bath, or to the nearest P&R. The village seems very nice, with a good pub and eatery. Not much more to say after only two nights, but if you want somewhere which meets the above criteria (and who does not), they we would recommend this place as perfect. We might even use it again next year, if we want to go to the Christmas Market in Bath.

Wonderful Cottage

This cottage was absolutely fantastic. The communication from the owners was great. The location was amazing. Very quiet with rabbits in the gardens and sheep in the field. A short stroll takes you into the lovely village of Lacock. The cottage was ample for the 5 of us with everything you need and very well stocked. we would most certainly book again. Thank you.

Enjoyable stay in a beautiful location

Wyatt and Helen were great hosts. Good at communicating before arrival and during our stay. Little cottage, tucked away but only a very short walk to Lacock and surrounding area. As a family of 5, it was very snug and we probably didn't gauge this from the photos. We'd say it's probably better for a couple or a smaller family as things like fridge space and the living area were a squeeze. Overall a lovely cottage with great hosts!

Fantastic Find

From booking this break to departure communication was excellent. All the information we could of needed was given and our check in and check out seamless! The cottage itself was beautiful and evidently well looked after. It was perfect for our needs as was mainly a place to lay our heads. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t good enough for us to enjoy the courtyard however it was available and inviting. 10/10 for a relaxing weekend away. Perfect location with lots of things to do locally. Highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a cottage stay.

A charming, comfortable and well-equipped cottage in Lacock

A fabulous little cottage on a charming estate in Lacock. It felt like a home from home and Lentos cottage was just perfect for a family of 5! The rooms were spacious, spotless and well decorated throughout, the living area was so comfy and cosy and the kitchen was extremely well-equipped. Helen and Wyatt are such gracious and accommodating hosts, and made us feel right at home. My children were asking when, not if, we could go back... we will definitely book again!

Wiltshire weekend

We booked Lenton Cottage because of its proximity to Castle Combe race track as we had booked a skidpan experience for my son. Lenton Cottage is beautiful- looking over a field of rare breed sheep. It is warm and comfortable and has everything you need. Helen was very welcoming. Lacock is a lovely village with various walks and Lacock Abbey, a National Trust property. Loved our stay. Thank you

Clean and comfortable in historic Lacock

The cottage is very clean and easy to access. Loved the location near historic Lacock and base for Bath and Cotswolds. Plenty of room for our family with 2 teen daughters. Charming country with sheep and bunnies! Helen was great to work with. I appreciate her flexibility and kindness in dealing with a booking mistake on my end.

Wonderful visit and beautiful cottage!

The cottage has gone through a recent renovation and is a perfect location to visit the surrounding countryside. The village is within walking distance and has at least 3-4 places for dining. The owners were very helpful and knowledgeable of the area. Definitely recommend a stay at this location.

Amaizing place

The apartment was located on the grounds of an old and amazing rectory, which is very close to Lacock village (3 minutes walking) which is a lovely and beautiful place. It was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped. Helen and her husband were always helping and very friendly with us. We recommend it with no doubt and we hope to go again in the future. We have been very happy there. Thanks a lot for everything!! El apartamento se encuentra localizado al lado de una antigua y bonita rectoría, en las proximidades de Lacock un precioso pueblo inglés (se llega a tres minutos andando). El apartamento estaba muy limpio y las camas eran muy cómodas. La cocina estaba equipada con todo lo necesario. Helen y su marido fueron muy amables y nos ayudaron en todo lo que necesitamos. Lo recomendamos totalmente y esperamos volver en un futuro próximo. ¡¡Muchas gracias por todo!!
