The Angel Hotel in Abergavenny is a testament to modernity, unequivocally paired with tradition, in this bustling market town. What was once a former Georgian coaching inn is now an elegant and stately triple AA starred hotel offering all the comforts that you expect in its thirty-two well furnished rooms. The restaurant is another discerning factor there and has received an AA Rosette for its sumptuous fare.

You could start with the Mediterranean fish and shellfish soup with croûtes, rouille and cheese or maybe the seared squid with shallots, garlic, chilli oil and coriander. For the main course, the roast rump of Welsh lamb, braised green beans and potato gratin is fulfilling, and the frozen hazelnut parfait, with tuiles and chocolate sauce is an enticing way to end. The bar is warm and welcoming and offers a choice of excellent wines, champagnes and cocktails to complement your meal.
