The Angel Inn, Petworth

This was booked as a Christmas present from my folks. It was just lovely. Such a historic pilgrim stop heaped in history. No squeaky floor boards and was not noisy at all with guests walking around and the hotel was full due to it being half term. Gorgeous and inviting fire which the staff encouraged us to sit by as much as possible which was a lovely touch. Our room was spacious and a very big bed and huge bath!! (Oak rm) and most importantly quiet yet next to the road. Great black out blind. But the best thing was I wasn’t expecting was the standard of food. It was all stunning. Which explains why lunch was so busy!! Had to wait a little to get a table. Breakfast stunning and highly recommend ‘crispy egg’ starter from the dinner menu if they have that on the menu. Staff were really helpful and friendly to. Great location with plenty to do in Petworth and the area. Petworth House is a must to visit and if you like running and walking the grounds with the deer roaming is super close.

Called in to have a look and have a beer ,was told rudely that I had ``time for one`` I risked a half of Amstel and it was like Vinegar ! plus expensive and undrinkable ,so I returned to the old pub in the Marketplace and had two pints of good but inexpensive Beer and no rushing me out ,the Angel Inn needs a Manager that likes his /her Job .

I would say its over priced for what it was. £230 for a small room with a super king bed with quite a hard mattress. Being an old building you expect the usual cobwebs, wonkey doors and stained carpet. I guess all part of the character of the building. Do expect some road noise at night and its quite warm in there. A fan is supplied but windows are small. The bathroom needed some TLC. Black mould or dirt in the floor grout and I couldn't take a second look at the shower corners, absolutely disgusting black grime. On a minor note, the reception had to pop to the local shop to buy some shower gel as it was missing from the room. Breakfast was included and very nice as was our evening meal. The car park opposite was very convenient but it would be luck of the draw if you were there on a busy weekend.
