This place is a gem - I love it and always stay here when I am in the area visiting family!
The rooms are renovated to a high standard and are quiet and very comfortable. The windows have black-out blinds/curtains which is essential in mid-summer when the Sun wakes up before 5am. Underfloor heating in the bathroom is a nice touch especially in the Winter. Air-conditioning is very welcome, especially given Climate Change, and has become essential in the UK in Summer. The only downside are the stairs servicing the upper floors (there are ground floor rooms) but the staff are happy to take luggage upstairs.
The restaurant deserves better recognition - Lunch and Dinner: the menu is innovative and the food high quality. Breakfast good selection of continental and cooked breakfast including a stonkingly excellent Full English Breakfast. Restaurant staff: friendly, efficient and helpful. Ambiance: Comfortable English country pub style - a real fireplaces are wonderful in colder weather,
The outside area is an oasis of calm and tranquility and a lovely setting for a drink or al fresco meal - in warmer weather. I did not see any outdoor heaters so cannot comments about the patio area in cooler weather
The only downside is parking - there is limited parking, both off-street and on-street - no preference is given to hotel guests. The last time I stayed I arrived early evening and there was zero parking and I had to double-park. I was told that they were hosting a dinner for 25-people, which undoubtedly put pressure on the parking. On the plus side there is an EV charging station.

Restaurant Review Only. I really wanted to give this place 5 stars?the setting, location, ambience, and service were all genuinely excellent. The vibe is relaxed but refined, and the staff were warm and attentive throughout.
That said, the food didn?t quite match the standard set by everything else. It plated really well and beautifully but the sourdough felt a bit dry, the salad was overdressed, and while the croquettes were fine, the flavours didn?t stand out. The meat was well-cooked and the triple-cooked chips were a highlight - crisp, golden perfection. Drinks were also great.
Overall, it?s a beautiful spot with a lot going for it, but the flavours didn?t quite live up to the setting or the price tag. Would come back for the atmosphere and hope the kitchen finds its rhythm.

Previously very good restaurant. Today was the worst meal I?ve eaten in a decade. A shame as the Service and location was pleasant.

The service is exceptional but unfortunately the food last night was mediocre which is a shame as the first time we went there both the food and service where exceptional.
Last night's food caspichio for starter tasted amazing but served in a jug to pour yourself on a dive little pile of chopped garlic and onion this is more than exceptable but no spoon. The claves liver to follow was very thin and over cooked so it had gone a bit dry, it was served on top of creamy mash potato which again is fine but the sauce should have been served in a jug because the mash had soaked in the sauce and tuned into more of a splat and all together was more a child's portion of food. Spring berries crumble and sticky toffee ice cream the ice cream was the star but only a small ball in a mass of berries and at one point thought I'd eaten some rhubarb (not a berry) and just a sprinkle of the crumble which wasn't really crumple it seemed to be more oaty,very disappointed. Note to the chef a crumple is a crumble this was a berry soup with a pinch of oats on the top

Stayed for one night DB&B.
Superior Room only had a 5 foot bed and room is rather small but was lovely and clean. Room faced the road so was obviously noisy.
Food was absolutely superb including all 3 dishes from the Set Menu?. Price is very good value.
Beautiful Gardens to relax in before dinner whilst having a drink.
Service was 1st Class from Dan, Benedict and the Lady that used to work across the road in The Crown?. Please forgive me for not remembering the Lady?s name.
Definitely 100% worth a visit here for the set menu even if you don?t stay overnight !!
WELL DONE ? TO ALL CONCERNED.

We came at short notice for a night away. The Angel was far better than we were entitled to expect at the price we paid, and we loved the dining experience so much that we immediately arranged to stay for a second night! The 16th Century building has been tastefully and expensively refurbished and fully modernised, from the designer courtyard garden through the bar and restaurant to our air-conditioned room and one of the best hotel bathrooms we've seen anywhere. The dinner menu is now gastropub style (you can have fish and chips if you want it) but the quality is fine dining: quality ingredients, superbly balanced flavours and delicate side touches. Yet prices are no more than we would pay in good pubs. Staff were friendly, professional and well trained. We had what must be the perfect English breakfast. Nothing negative to say at all! Can't wait for our next visit.
