Refurbished to a very high standard in the public areas and B&B rooms and lovely paved outside eating/drinking area. Staff very friendly and welcoming but professional with it. Superb food in the evening (sensational rare Onglet steak, cooked perfectly) and an exceptional breakfast - everything top quality. Two very good local ales on handpump plus plenty of other choices on tap, a very premium wine offering but also enough choice of affordable wines by the glass. Very good value overall given the quality of the accommodation and dining experience.

A kettle in the bedroom please. Making tea with a Nespresso machine is laborious and never tastes right.

This was an excellent overnight stay in very comfortable and spotlessly maintained surroundings. It wasn't cheap, but the quality of the service and the restaurant justified the expense. The ancient village inn had been completely refurbished in a charming and elegant style. The restaurant menu was a gastronomic treat - inventive and creative cooking in a stylish and intimate environment.

The room was very clean, comfortable and stylish. The bathroom, recently re-fitted, was superficially impressive but not very practical: a high-sided Victorian-style bath, not easy to access, and a glass shower cubicle with a door that didn't close properly. Although the restaurant food was excellent and creative, the table service was sometimes un-necessarily fussy and pretentious.

Perfect location for our needs

This used to be a posh pub where you could have a drink and a snack, hang out, eat a fantastic dinner, etc - now, almost every square inch is turned over to fine dining. For a drink before we went out, we were seated in a cold, dark “lounge area” where the candles weren’t even lit. Breakfast was described by our grown up sons as “the stingiest” they had ever experienced (and we lived overseas with them for 15 years, so they know a thing or two about 5* hotels). This is a beautiful venue in one of Suffolk’s prettiest villages, and the staff are absolutely wonderful, but it gave a good impression of a place that doesn’t quite know what it wants to be.

Overall, excellent first impression, welcome and ambience. Very comfortable twin bedded room for my daughter and myself for a one night B&B stay. Excellent breakfast. We shall be back!

Only slight criticism and comment was the bathroom design and fittings. Looks really nice but was impractical design with a lot of unavoidable water splashing from both the basin and the shower, and bits falling from the centre of tap handles on both basin and shower.

Exceeds it's promise in all respects. Staff all amazing . Friendly, welcoming, engaging all focused on ensuring you're absolute enjoyment. Food up there Michelin 5. Surrounded by original C17th classic paintings in 2 extraordinary well preserved Tudor buildings in the heart of the Dedham Vale one of the jewels of historic England.

Loved it here - stylish, comfortable, amazing food, quiet and great friendly service. Perfect for a weekend away! Recommended.

Nothing. Only minor thing for me was that the rain shower was low over the bath so I couldn’t fully stand under it. But my friend had a room with a great separate shower to the bath, so just check this if you’re over 5’ 10.

Food was absolutely superb and staff very friendly throughout our two night stay. Hotel and our room very clean, bed super comfortable with great amenities.

Nothing, we absolutely loved the Angel Inn and will have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending to family and friends, and staying there again should we be in the area.

The restaurant at The Angel is fantastic - we had the tasting menu on both evenings which was amazing. The food was cooked to perfection and extremely tasty; Ruben is an inspired chef. The service was great and the whole experience exceeded our expectations. The hotel room was luxurious and comfortable. We'll be going back for special occasions without a doubt.

We had a brilliant week-end - there was nothing we didn't like.

Staff are super friendly and very helpful. The room was a good size and located within the adjoining converted stable block. The young lady on duty for check-in was very attentive and couldn't have done any more to make us feel so welcome.

the staff were very helpful , there wasn't anything that was to much trouble , the food was great and the hotel was realy comfortable , we would definitely recommend and stay again , thanks
