Hotel Review
Centrally located on Abergavenny’s Cross Street, this former Georgian coaching inn has been brought right up to date with an artsy and sophisticated atmosphere. Dinner in the Oak Room, with its central pillars, feels swish, while afternoon tea on the Ballroom Terrace and drinks in the tavern-esque Foxhunter Bar, complete the experience. Rooms are bright and airy and even the four poster bedroom is modern in design, but the Georgian aspect can still be found in writing desks and antique side tables. There is an onsite car park, though the central location makes it tricky to enter and a barrier means you have to buzz through to reception to get in. Staff are very helpful, though, and eager to assist. Across the road is the hotel’s own bakery, and cottages can be rented at the hotel’s sister property, Caradog Cottages.

The Angel, Abergavenny, Monmouthshire: hotel revie
Staying at The Angel has the added interest of discovering what happens to an old dog of a run down town-centre coaching inn when it falls into the right hands. Why does it work so well? As ever, it’s because of the people behind it: fine builder (father); artistic gallery owner (mother, responsible for the hotel’s look); professional hotelier (son, William, who runs the place).
