Room 4 - probably not the best choice
Pros:

Positives: friendly and helpful staff, lovely breakfast and lots of food options available, fancy and huge shower in room, bed comfortable, free parking in pub car park, WiFi good.

Negatives: Furniture is old and battered and as it's an old building, the floor is very wonky, like a crooked house, so walking around is a bit like trying to find your sea legs and failing! A bit dusty and carpet needed a hoover. TV does not connect to streaming services. Biggest complaint is the noise from the bar, and I think this room is probably directly above it, so you have to have the TV up to megaphone volume to drown out music in the evening.

I have no idea what the other rooms are like, I did expect some noise but I guess it's a room above a pub, so..... a rather mixed experience. I would come to the pub for the food and might stay again but would choose the room next time.

Pros:

Third stay at The Angel. Comfortable, clean room and easy overnight parking adjacent. Excellent housekeeping. Very nice on-site Italian restaurant, ideal for dinner. The staff set this place apart. Friendly, relaxed and nothing is too much trouble. Even sent someone to buy Marmite for my breakfast toast when they ran out. Took 2 mins and a new pot arrived! Hope to visit again next year.

Excellent hotel
Pros:

Lovely hotel in a quaint village high street. Very clean and welcoming staff. Just a bit dated but not a problem. Best bed I’ve slept in! Wonderful breakfast next morning. Very good choice for breakfast.

Pros:

A real gem, fantastic staff, the whole place is welcoming, friendly and clearly a community hub. The restaurant (Cleone's Italian) was a surprise bonus with great food and the Paradiso ice-cream sundae was absolutely supreme. An excellent base from which to explore Suffolk and a place you will look forward to returning to each day. Thank you to Cleo, Ross, Grace, Lily and all the staff for being wonderful hosts.

Pros:

I enjoyed a short stay visiting family in the area. The staff throughout the stay have been, without exception, friendly and really welcoming. The check in and check out process was straightforward. The room was beautifully clean and the bed was so comfortable. The bathroom was spacious and modern. We enjoyed lovely cooked breakfast and an impressive selection of mixed fruits and yoghurt. We also enjoyed fabulous high quality meals in the evening in the Italian themed restaurant. I would love to go back again some time.

Older style hotel with a modern upgrade
Pros:

Hotel is older style, with large room. I was particularly impressed with the modernisation of the ensuite and very modern techno shower. Good size enclosed walk in shower and decent water temperature.
I dined as a party of 8 in the bar area, food was very good and decent choice on the menu. Staff very helpful and made lockable arrangements for my cycle overnight.
I took advantage of the 6.30am breakfast start which was excellent and good choice on the menu.
No real downside experienced.

Great for short break.
Pros:

Very pleasant short break in a friendly hotel. Great food in the Italian restaurant, just a shame that it was fully booked on our second night. Priority for residents would have been good....Free on site parking was very welcome. Visits to nearby Southwold and Aldeburgh meant that there was plenty to see and do.
