"Staff were welcoming and friendly. Hotel appearance looked good. Our bedroom and bathroom was clean and tidy buy very dated. Needs a fresh coat of paint and a shower cubicle instead of a shower over the bath it’s not safe for elderly people. There were toiletries to use. It would be economical to have a hand soap dispenser instead of a bar of soap. But we had an enjoyable stay."

The Angel Hotel

The Angel Hotel

8/10 Good
"Our first visit but hopefully not our last. The staff we engaged with here were friendly, helpful and efficient. Our rooms and indeed the whole hotel was clean, however it could do with some updating and maintenance. Breakfast was delightful with a good variety of continental and cooked breakfast choices. The bar stocked a good variety of drinks. Great location with plenty to do around the area."
