Sign of the Angel

The personal touch

The Sign of the Angel Inn is nestled in timeless Lacock, to many the perfect England village, with its twisting streets, packed with attractive buildings from the 15th to 18th centuries, possessing all the character and atmosphere of medieval England. Architectural gems of note within this National Trust owned village include the timbered-framed Sign of the Angel on Church Street, a 15th-century wool merchant's house and former coaching inn. It retains the impressive original doorway and medieval layout, oozing historic charm with heavy beams, creaking floors, huge stone fireplaces, heavy oak furniture and ancient latch doors. In a sorry state, having been closed for a year, young Tom and Jack Nicholas (the family also own Whitley Golf Club) and chef/partner Jonathan Furby took on the lease and the challenge to restore and breathe new life into the building in October 2014. Push open the vast oak door to find logs glowing in grates, flickering candles on old dining tables, cords rugs on stone floors and heritage hues on freshly plastered walls throughout the three dining rooms. With three traditional pubs in the village and several tearooms to serve the hordes of tourists that descend on Lacock, now famous as a location for film and television, the brothers rightly decided to offer a more refined dining experience at the Sign of the Angel, operating the inn more as a restaurant with rooms rather than a pub. However, the atmosphere is relaxed and informal, there's a great seasonal lunch menu, and five cosy beamed rooms upstairs.
 

Muddy paws

Dogs are welcome in one of the dining rooms at lunch and dinner and allowed overnight in all the bedrooms at an extra charge of £15.
 

Sticky fingers

Children are allowed in the bar and dining rooms and both children's menu and smaller portions are offered. The two larger superior rooms can accommodate a cot but these are not supplied.
 

Alfresco

The secluded streamside garden to the rear of the inn provides a peaceful haven away from this busy tourist village and is perfect for lazy summer lunches and afternoon teas away from the hordes. The paddock across the footbridge will be developed in 2016 to provide further seating and a kitchen garden.

Do not disturb

Watch your head as you venture up the narrow and steep winding staircase to reach to first floor bedrooms. Wall timbers, wonky floors and head-cracking beams abound as befits a building of this age and little has changed over the centuries, with each bedroom oozing period character and charm. Tom scoured auctions and antique shops to furnish each room with period pieces, so expect fat lamps on oak chest of drawers or rustic painted bedside tables, upholstered easy chairs, original fireplaces (not used), traditional paintings and prints, and super comfortable beds topped with quality linen and down and wool blankets. Detail touches include carefully chosen cushions, pottery mugs, jugs of fresh flowers, books and magazines, and quirky wooden hooks on original latch doors and wall timbers. Modern tiled bathrooms have been imaginatively squeezed in as planning allows. The gorgeous panelled residents lounge has been beautifully refurbished, with rugs on wooden floors, deep sofas and smart upholstered chair and a stone fireplace, and offers space to relax over afternoon tea or evening drinks.

Mastering the menu

Having plied the stoves at his own pub (The Linnet at Great Hinton), where he won several chef competitions, head chef Jonathan Furby helped Tom and Jack re-launch the Sign of the Angel creating the interesting and varied menus and sourcing quality ingredients from his network of top local suppliers and artisan producers. Jonathan's imaginative cooking skills sets the inn apart from the tourist trail eateries in the village, appealing to more discerning visitors who wish linger longer over lunch and dinner. At lunch, Jonathan offers a great value set lunch menu (2 courses £18; 3 courses £21) - follow beetroot risotto with local goat's cheese, with braised blade of beef with horseradish mash and Stilton sauce, and baked chocolate and pistachio tart. Alternatively, tuck into upmarket sandwiches and ciabattas and pub classics with a twist.

Walking

Lacock is not just about handsome buildings and centuries of history. Starting in the village, you can sample a choice of fine circular walks of varying grades and distances. Not far away is Corsham where you can take a stroll in Corsham Park, enjoying its peaceful atmosphere and lake views. Also close by are the Kennet and Avon Canal and the Cotswolds, great for country walks. For something a bit different, try Bath, the ideal city for walking. One of its most popular trails is the Bath Skyline Walk, a six-mile loop through glorious neighbouring countryside.
 

Cycling

Around the villages of Lacock and Whitley, there's a network of winding lanes and hidden tracks - perfect for cycling. To the north lie the Cotswolds and away to the east are the breezy expanses of the Marlborough Downs. The countryside around the nearby village of Box is also great for cycling - a superb mix of level terrain and dramatic landscape characterised by rolling fields, drystone walls and breathtaking views.
 

Events & Festivals

March is the month for the annual Bath Literature Festival, the end of May is the date for the four-day Chippenham
Folk Festival, while June is when you'll find the Corsham Walking Festival, offering a good selection of local trails to fascinating sites and ancient landmarks. The same month sees the town's Pound Arts Summer Festival. Bradford-on-Avon stages talks, film shows and a comedy club during the year and in September the town hosts a popular annual walking festival.

BOOKINGS AND VOUCHERS

Our site is an online platform that allows you to search for and book accommodation. We are acting as disclosed agent for the relevant inns featured on our site. This means that any booking or contractual arrangement you make with any entity featured on our site is made with that entity, and not with us. By entering information into the booking software, you authorise us to pass on all relevant information to those entities with whom you are seeking to make a reservation, and to control and/or process such data in accordance with the provisions of the Data Protection Act 1998. In order to make a booking you are required to provide credit card details. We will enable the relevant inn to gain access to the credit card details via the site in the event of any cancellation and a cancellation charge is due. By making a booking you are expressly authorising access to and use of such data and for the relevant inn to deduct the cancellation charges notified to you in the event of a cancellation.

Bookings will be subject to the terms and conditions of the individual entity with whom you contract, including any cancellation polices they may apply. It is your responsibility to check the terms of such entities before you enter your contract with them. If you wish to cancel a booking, you must cancel using the site unless exceptional circumstances do not permit you to gain access to the site, in which case you should liaise directly with the inn concerned. In either case you may be liable for cancellation charges. Whenever your booking is cancelled whether directly or via the site, it is your responsibility to check your account with HIP to confirm the booking has been cancelled and to be notified of any relevant charges (and to pay them). If you do not attend the inn on the dates booked, this will be treated as a cancellation by the relevant inn on the applicable terms. The accommodation provider's cancellation policy may continue to apply after your arrival at your inn. In the event that you decide to shorten the duration of your stay, such a request will be dealt with at the discretion of the accommodation provider, and not by us in our capacity as the booking agent. If you amend your booking in this way there may be a cancellation fee levied by the accommodation provider and you should refer to the provider's cancellation policy for more details. Where the accommodation provider requires a minimum stay for rooms attracting a certain price, this will be clearly stated on our site prior to booking.

We are not responsible for inaccuracies in the booking process; you must check carefully the agreed dates and prices before completing your booking. In particular, you are advised to check the availability of any offers, promotional codes, or the acceptance of gift vouchers before completing the booking, as well as whether any special requirements you may have can be met. Please note that Inn Places Special Gifts may not be available at all the inns where special promotions are being run, and such promotions may have additional terms and conditions applicable.

Although we gather credit card information to secure the booking, the booking will be with the relevant inn to whom, by virtue of you starting the booking process you authorise us to transmit the credit card information.

To confirm a booking, you must be authorised to make the booking by all the persons named on the booking and their parent or guardian for all party members who are under 18 when the booking is made. By making the booking, you are confirming that all persons named on the booking accept the terms and that you will inform the other persons named on the booking of the confirmation details and any other appropriate information. By making the booking you also become responsible for making all payments due under the booking.

The display of accommodation for hire on the site is an invitation to treat only.

By completing and submitting the booking form you are making an offer to book temporary accommodation room nights, which if accepted by accommodation providers, will result in a binding contract made between you and the accommodation provider.

Completing the booking process online does not constitute acceptance of your offer. We will send you an email confirmation following your booking on behalf of the accommodation provider confirming acceptance of your offer and forming the legally binding contract subject to any applicable terms and conditions.

Because the contract for your accommodation is between you and the relevant inn, any queries or concerns should be addressed to them. If you have a problem during your visit, this must be reported to the inn immediately. If you fail to follow this procedure there will be less opportunity for the inn to investigate and rectify your complaint. The amount of compensation you may be entitled to from the inn may be reduced or you may not receive any at all depending upon the circumstances.
