Great hotel right next to the castle!
This was a lovely hotel and conveniently located right next to the castle — in fact, our room had a direct view of the castle, which was so nice! The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend staying here!

Lovely traditional hotel
The staff at the Angel are always really helpful and welcoming. It's a lovely building to visit and the rooms can vary but are always decent, clean and comfortable at the very least. Breakfast is good. I stay here when I can!

Great service and a great stay
Had a great stay here that started with the warmest welcome ever from Joey and Sarah. Both went above and beyond within 5 minutes of our arrival; we were able to check-in a bit early, and I thought I had left my credit cards at a nearby pub and Sarah was on the phone immediately to help me retrieve them. Room was clean and lovely. Location was great for our stay and will definitely return.
