I know the Angel quite well having briefly lived in the town. It is very well run & the staff consistently helpful & friendly. Having never stayed I can't comment on the room standards, but have enjoyed numerous meals, snacks and pints over the last nineteen years. The restaurant (Cleones) seems to run as a separate business within the pub/hotel and has always produced excellent Italian dishes as well as the usual pub grub. You can eat in main bar too, and there is outside seating. The Angel has its own free car park & there are two public car parks within a two minute walk. Hope this helps.

Staff were very polite and helpful. Nothing too much trouble. Food in the adjoining Italian restaurant was superb. Room was a bit jaded but fit for purpose and the shower gel was the best I've used in a hotel. Would recommend.

An exceptional meal. Service was really good and felt very personal even though quite busy. We particularly enjoyed the Tiramisu. Definitely home made and surprisingly light. Definitely recommend.
