Angel Hotel

Extremely handy for the whole town. Really good to have a nice table and two chairs in the room as we have a game we like to play.

We had such a wonderful stay at the Angel Hotel and couldn’t recommend it more highly! From the moment we arrived, the porters looked after our car with care and waitresses made us feel so welcome — nothing was too much trouble, and they truly went above and beyond for our family.

The housekeeping team kept everything absolutely spotless, with incredible attention to detail that really made a difference. It’s clear the whole team takes great pride in what they do.

We also treated ourselves to afternoon tea, which was fantastic, and enjoyed delicious fish and chips the next day both were top quality!

If you’re looking for a hotel with outstanding service, warm hospitality, and a relaxing atmosphere, this is the place to stay. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Went for lunch and had the Fish and Sips. Really nice boutique hotel on the square opposite the cathedral. Food really good, staff friendly, good value for money and nice atmosphere

Very disappointing we were served the wrong afternoon tea despite me checking the sandwiches were dry they said thanks for letting them know and that was it no offer of goodwill I asked and was ignored do not recommend

As mentioned a number of times on TA, noise & the quality of some bedrooms is a real
problem especially at £200+ per night. We viewed our fellow guest bedrooms and some had clearly been updated however ours was sadly in need of renovation. Facing a road, the room had one window containing two large panels of 3mm glass (probably fitted in the 1970's) which could not be fully closed & was covered in condensation when we entered. The noise from passing cars, people & motorbikes throughout the night made sleeping near impossible.

We have just returned from a stay at The Angel Hotel and we were there for DB&B celebrating our wedding anniversary. What a wonderful stay we had. Room was beautiful, copper bath just divine and food incredible. Lovely town yo browse around. Thoroughly recommend 👌👏

This is a lovely historic building in the heart of Bury. Staff are very professional and helpful. Rooms are all to a high standard. I had a very superior room, huge, free standing bath, writing desk, arm chairs and spacious shower / toilet room. Bathrobes are provided and lovely fancy mugs for tea plus border biscuits. Very comfortable but be aware there are lots of flights of steps of various sizes and rooms at the front can be noisy from traffic. The restaurant was also extremely noisy, I ate in the bar area instead. Food is rather "cheffy", very gourmet. Great wine selection. Breakfast has to be ordered rather than a buffet and portions are very generous.

Typing this at 715am on a Saturday morning, woken at 6.45 by the very intrusive road noise. Room 118: one of their best rooms, has 3 large sash windows which do nothing. Don't stay in this room.
The restaurant and bars were great, the hotel has a great vibe.
But, it is seriously let down as the quality of sleep is poor. We have stayed here many times, the last was dreadful for the same reason (disruptive room noise) and were upgraded to this room by way of an apology, not good enough.
So, we won't be back us and the Angel are now done!

A lovely looking setting for Afternoon Tea, but actually the chairs were too low compared to the table.
The food was good quality, and some of the hot savouries, especially the lamb, were superb.
There were 3 small sandwiches per person, and completely contrary to my expectations they were made with thick sliced bread. Sandwiches traditionally are made with thinly sliced bread. The fillings were ham, smoked salmon, and a fairly slimy egg mayo. OK, but apart from the salmon, nothing special.
The scones were good, and whilst I would have preferred to have individual portions of jam and cream there was plenty between us.
There was a great choice of tea, and some coffee.
The whole atmosphere was ‘off’. Instead of a relaxing environment, often with unobtrusive music, it was loud, busy with an almost constant stream of people passing by, and another customer had very strongly smelling fish and chips.
The reason I have not given a lower score is solely due to our waiter. When I eventually could stand the constant motion around me no more I complained to him. He immediately found us another table in a quiet corner, transferred everything over, and even brought us fresh tea. We ended up having the relaxing time we had hoped for from the outset. I wish I had asked his name.

The hotel itself is lovely and a great location. Parking is very near so excellent for not so mobile people.
This is my 3rd time eating there and on other occasions it’s been ok but today was disappointing. I had steak and chips. Whilst the steak was lovely somehow the mushroom was burnt and the chips had obviously been warmed and cooked again. They were black, dry crisp and hollow. Very poor when you serve food at quite high prices.

We had the Valentine's package. Overnight stay, dinner in the vaults, live music, breakfast in the morning.
The room was lovely. I've stayed in a lot of hotel rooms lately and this was probably the best overall. There is usually something that you can fault or feel could be changed, but this was literally faultless.
The dining experience was perfect. A set menu is always a bit scary but the food was amazing. The breakfast was great and the service throughout the whole experience was amazing.
Points of note just as feedback.
The booking material had two different check out times. One said 11 and one said late checkout up until 12.
There was mention in the booking of a complimentary cocktail on arrival. This was not mentioned to us when we arrived and so I didn't bother to pursue it. I didn't need a cocktail ( although I would have drunk it 😂) so it wasn't an issue, just something to maybe clarify for the future?

My partner and I recently visited The Angle to enquire about hosting our afternoon post-wedding meal there. We were warmly welcomed and shown around by a younger member of staff who was enthusiastic, professional, and extremely helpful. We were both very impressed—so much so that we decided to proceed with a booking.

Unfortunately, once we were handed over to the manager, the experience deteriorated significantly. Her manner was rude, abrupt, and unprofessional. Despite this, we chose to continue with the booking and paid a substantial deposit.

Only after the deposit had been taken were we informed that we would be restricted to a reduced menu. The menu presented to us was not what had originally attracted us to the venue, nor what had been available at the time of our visit. When we raised our concerns, the manager remained dismissive and inflexible, offering little in the way of explanation or resolution. She eventually offered a refund in a curt and disengaged manner.

Two weeks later, we are still waiting for that refund.

What began as a very positive and promising experience has been overshadowed by unprofessional conduct and poor customer service at management level. It is deeply disappointing that what should have been an exciting and special arrangement for our wedding has been handled in such a discourteous and unsatisfactory way.

We have been to the Angel before, it is convenient for concerts at the Apex theatre. We stayed in an Ivy room, which has been nicely redecorated since our last stay. We decided to eat out as the menu seemed to be pretty much unchanged and i can get fish and chips etc anywhere. We did have 2 large glasses of Chardonnay before our theatre concert, £28…….was very average at best.
For those wanting a quiet hotel, the Angel both times has been very busy and can be noisy. For us it is very convenient, nice staff, excellent breakfast. We have booked for October.

A wonderful evening…..everything from checking in, drinks, food, atmosphere, prices, top notch!!!! Exceptional service

Overall, we had a lovely stay at The Angel. Our room was beautiful — we stayed in Room 118 and absolutely loved the freestanding bath. Every staff member we encountered, from check-in to the bar, was friendly, welcoming, and very helpful.

There were just two negatives for us. Unfortunately, the noise overnight was quite disruptive. From around 11:30pm until 4am we could hear loud bangs, people shouting or singing (possibly intoxicated), and what sounded like early-morning deliveries. For a room costing £400+ for one night, this was disappointing and made for a less restful sleep.

Breakfast was delicious and well cooked, but the portion size felt quite small for the price — one sausage, one egg, and no beans — which looked a little underwhelming, despite tasting lovely.

Overall, we would return, but would hope for a quieter room next time.

A friend recommended the early supper menu at the Angle Hotel so we booked a table.
First in the restaurant and seated at a table next to a window 😀
Good service./food and surroundings within a fixed price 💫
Just one suggestion ..the desert could be better.
Thank you

I don't normally do reviews for afternoon tea, but as this one was £70 per couple, I did want to say that it was a tad disappointing. The setting is perfect, cosy setting with a fire in the grate, and comfortable seating. The ambience is what we came for and we were not disappointed. The food was okay, but there was nothing that impressed us enough to want to return. The 12.5 percent service charge, which was added without the option to decline, was excessive. A lovely day out, but at the same time disappointing.

A lovely setting and excellent staff
We enjoyed our meal but wished we had been warned there was a very large noisy party of diners there at the same time so we could not chat easily and the service was slow . It was a a special evening out to celebrate some good news do we could have come another night

Lovely hotel. Immaculately clean room. Would have preference a walk in shower. Food great.

Excellent afternoon tea, really great service. Friendly staff , quick and attentive. Unlimited tea or coffee, smoked salmon sandwich, ham and mustard sandwich and egg sandwich. 4 scones, 2 fruit and 2 plain. Plenty of clotted cream and jam. Oh then mini cakes, don't worry you can ask for a box to take whatever is leftover, away. Great experience, I would recommend and go back.
