The Angel Inn, Suffolk

Nos Avis

The Angel Inn is a delightful culinary destination in Suffolk that happens to offer rooms, rather than a hotel (there's no sitting room or snug to read a a book or newspaper). If you’re a foodie at heart, this charming spot is perfect for you. The Angel excels, with a friendly and efficient team of staff, at creating an atmosphere where dining takes centre stage, with the overnight stay serving as a wonderful, cosy bonus. The menu is a seasonal celebration of Suffolk’s finest produce, from local game to freshly caught seafood, and the dishes are plated with the kind of artistry that makes you pause before diving in. The interiors are a blend of warm wood beams, atmospheric lighting, and inviting fireplaces—ideal for leisurely lunches or intimate dinners.

Upstairs, the rooms, named after local Suffolk villages, maintain a boutique feel with thoughtful touches (Nespresso machine and lavender shortbread), yet they’re intentionally understated, ensuring that the dining experience remains the focal point. Bathrooms are compact, not spacious, with shower over baths, walk-in showers and a couple with both. Think of it as a chance to indulge in a delicious meal, enjoy a glass (or two) of wine without worrying about the drive home, and retreat to your room in mere steps. The rooms are spread across the main house and the courtyard where there's a dog-friendly room (treats and blankets provided) with its own entrance.

For those who love the idea of an epicurean escape, The Angel Inn provides just that—perfect for a short romantic getaway or a celebration of good food in the heart of Constable Country.
