Its a pub with rooms not a chain hotel so that's what to expect. Very handy for the town and the nearby air base.
No fuss check in or out.
Pub area looked good with a mixture of bar area and slightly more relaxed seating area.
The hotel staff were polite and friendly when I came to check in, they showed me to my room and provided all the necessary information in a clear and concise manner.
The room was very well presented when I arrived. There was free tea and coffee along with a kettle and mug.
Imagine you’re an adventurer in an RPG video game. This is the inn. Exactly what I wanted. It’s cozy and warm. BTW parking is in the back , you have to drive around the block and take that one way street Angels cafe is on.

Hotel was a bit dated, bit of a 70's era for furniture and decor which was quite charming. Rooms confortable, staff friendly and welcoming, great food. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay
Great stay. Rooms traditional. Staff fantastic and helpful. Will stay again in the New Year!

Great location easy to find close to all shops 10 min drive to mildenhall stadium up on straight road room was pretty basic had everything you need cant say anything about the food has haven't eaten but smelt amazing they don't do breakfast but is a cafe next door that they recommend was lovely will be staying again when next up.
Pleasant and helpful staff. Plenty of free parking and located centrally in town. Great price and value for money. Recommend for a informal, low cost stay in a historic building.
We'd stayed at the Hotel before and it has changed, the customer service is fantastic , the staff are very friendly and helpful. It's very quaint and probably won't be everyone. However its clean and has charactor
This is a lovely older property perfect for a quick visit to Mildenhall. Great pub downstairs and convenient to all kinds of shops and restaurants. Staff was excellent and very helpful. They poured a nice pint too!
A lovely little building in Mildenhall. Certainly an historic building, and comes with the quirks of its age, but the team has done a brilliant job of adapting and making it up to date. Missing shampoo, and no hair dryer, but the bed was great and the shower fantastic. Kettle and tea bits were all I really needed :-).
