Check into this Georgian boutique hotel (in the true sense of the term) in Suffolk’s Bury St Edmunds for a real treat. From the minute guests walk through its ivy-clad frontage into the lobby, the hotel’s divine sense of indulgence gently wafts across.
If arriving mid-afternoon head straight for The Eaterie where afternoon tea (think large fruit scones with Jersey cream and jam) is served in gorgeous surroundings – original artwork hangs on every wall, illuminated by the grand chandelier. While staying at the Angel Hotel, why not book a table for the evening, like the locals do, to enjoy the chef’s modern British fare.
Outside, the hotel is based smack bang in the centre of town, with the cobbled streets and historic market town architecture on the doorstep.
