Veitchly House, Lacock

Veitchly House is a large, comfortable house located in a quiet lane just 15 minutes walk from the uniquely preserved village of Lacock. It is in a peaceful and idyllic situation overlooking fields in all directions. Originally a pair of 16th/17th century stone cottages, it was added to initially in Victorian times to provide a shop for the nearby defunct Wiltshire and Berkshire canal. Over the past thirty years, further changes have been made to provide more family living space.

We love our home and are delighted to offer two bedrooms for B&B, each with their own en suite/private facilities. Our guests are accommodated in the original cottages at the older end of the house whereas we live at the opposite end, thus providing a high level of privacy for our guests. Wifi capability is available in the bedrooms.

Lacock, near Bath, is not only an historic and picturesque village. Of particular interest are the National Trust owned medieval cloistered Abbey and the photography museum dedicated to Fox Talbot, the photography pioneer.

Both Lacock Abbey and the village have featured in a number of film and TV productions including Harry Potter, Pride and Prejudice and, most recentrly, Cranford.

Within the village are three pubs and the historic Sign of the Angel inn, all providing a range of food. Just over ten minutes’ walk away is the Bell at Bewley Lane which serves both excellent beer and a wide choice of meals.
