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.

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.

Nice one night stay in historic pub hotel

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 :-).
