"This red-brick former pub is over 500 years old and is now benefitting from the complete restoration its owners have given it. The stylish restaurant is divided into several rooms – and fans of wooden beams and open fireplaces won’t be disappointed. The Spanish-born chef applies some subtle influences from his homeland in the cooking, lending a boldness of colour and flavour to many a dish. Equal attention to detail has been applied to the decoration of the bedrooms." - Michelin Inspector

Had a wonderful 2 night stay. Took my mum for her birthday. Gorgeous hotel. Staff where very attentive but not overwhelming. We were delighted that we chose this hotel. Village is delightful too and we took a lovely slow walk around one morning. Do visit the church it also has information on the village and offers a map with a guided walk explaining the history and sights. We ate at this hotel one night and the crown the next. Both excellent. Very memorable trip. Would stay again.

The menu and price point make clear that this restaurant is aiming to be Michelin star level - it has good food and nice service, but currently falls some way short of its aim. The menu is adventurous and interesting, but the delivery falls short of the ambition. Although a nice combination of flavours, the Waghu beef was overcooked and dry, and the prawn bisque lacked refinement. Similarly, the staff were very friendly and hospitable, but lacked the training and knowledge that you would expect at the best restaurants. There are plenty of pubs in this area, and a high quality restaurant is a welcome change, but The Angel has some room for improvement - we will come back in the hope that this will happen

The newly refurbished rooms are all brilliant we stayed in Cornfield , which had a supersized bed and beautiful walk in shower in the bathroom. The room maintained the history of this lovely building showing the original timbers behind a glass screen. The room was immaculate . The staff were superb always asking if we required anything extra ||I can not recommend this hotel highly enough

I just had the most exquisite meal. I booked The Angel without knowing too much about it. To my surprise it was absolutely exquisite. The food was stunning, their attention to detail is impeccable. What a wonderful surprise on a cold January Sunday. Thank you so much. I can’t wait to come back.

We visited the restaurant for the full tasting and WOW! Every dish was exceptional and a genuine joy to eat, Ruben is an outstanding chef. The atmosphere is wonderful and the staff are so warm that it feels like home. We can't fault a single thing and will definitely be returning and bringing family and friends with us. If you're deciding where to visit, this is an absolute must. It surpasses some michelin restaurants we've been to so they certainly deserve a star!

This is the most wonderful place. The ambience and decor are stunning. The staff are professionals and the food was probably the best I've ever eaten. We had the short taster menu and every mouthful was a delight along with the wine that was paired with each course. Delicious. We did not stay here but were shown around the rooms, each one is unique. Complete luxury.

We came across The Angel by accident originally but were so impressed that we have been back many times since. As it is not possible to book in advance i have often found it a good idea to try and arrive early or with time to spare before you wish to eat. As soon as you arrive you cant help but notice the welcoming atmophere of the place, which is i guess what brought us back after the first visit. The choice of food is enough to give you a headache narrowing down what you are going to order now and what you will leave and have next time! I have not anything but totally satisfied with the food to date and hope this continues for some time....

This beautifully restored timbered country pub has been our favourite eating place for many years. The atmosphere is great with a well stocked bar with cask ales and a good wine list. As tables can not be booked, one may have to wait for table to become vacant on busy nights, but this is not normally a problem. The very varied and extensive menu is on the boards on the wall where one chooses and orders at the bar. The food is normally of a very high standard and I can especially recommend the afters, if you can still manage them. The prices are reasonable for the area and the service is friendly.

The Angel Inn is located in Stoke-By- Nayland, England. The hotel is eight miles from Flatford, in what is known as 'Constable Country'. The Angel Inn, Stoke-by-Nayland is an oasis of comfort and calm, a contemporary hotel in a beautiful old building.
