Rustic charm meets eclectic taste at this gorgeous countryside retreat. You'll feel a little like Alice in Wonderland as you walk around the rooms - things seem to get more curious as you go (in the best way possible, of course). Out in the garden, things stay very Lewis Carroll - we love the candy-floss wisteria and bluebell woodland for the backdrop of a leisurely stroll. There's also a heated swimming pool and a private tennis court, plus a Par 3 golf hole, an outdoor fire pit, a boules court and a football field, so you really will have everything needed for an endlessly fun-filled stay here. A former coach house, this charming home benefits from high vaulted ceilings with wooden beams and exposed brick walls, as well as a cosy fire in the living room – the perfect spot to gather around on chilly evenings. But it's the owner's personal treasures that make this place truly special, with art objects collected from their travels in Asia, including vintage artwork and a horse's muzzle. The location is fantastic too - Lacock is a picturesque National Trust village and is often used as a filming location – any fans of Downton Abbey or Harry Potter? It has a host of cafes, delis and traditional pubs nearby, while further down the road you’ll find beautiful Bath in less than thirty minutes.
