Search hotels in Stoke-by-Nayland

We stayed weekend of 11th & 12th March. Owners David & Paul are an excellent team. The room was immaculate, large and the cleanliness was impeccable. Dogs are welcome. The location is fairly remote but easily found via the SatNav. There is generous space for guests to park. The Local village is only a 15 minute walk away and offers a couple of nice pubs serving food. Colchester itself was only about 25 minutes drive away for more town life. In all this was a perfect base for exploring Essex and Suffolk. Would we go back? Definitely, without a doubt.

Incredible pub, great food and nice service. Very attentive staff. Rooms very clean and well set out. Every comfort you could want. This is exactly what a pub should be however so many pubs fall below the standard that Angel Inn achieves so flawlessly!

Lots of places to see and things to do, the villages and towns in the local area are all very picturesque. There is a plethora of walking opportunities with many circular walks in the vicinity and further afield. There's also many interesting villages and places with a long history to visit and enjoy. The roads can be slightly tricky at times so a bike would be useful for getting around smaller villages and narrow lanes. There's also a bus service connecting Stoke by Nayland to Sudbury and beyond which we would have made use of if we were staying longer. Lavenham, Long Melford, Flatford Mill are all close by as well as other beautiful villages.

The nearby farmhouse B&B accommodation was excellent, and Stoke by Nayland has two excellent pub/restaurants for meals in the evenings. Like most Suffolk villages the streets are narrow so care is needed to negotiate parked cars.

A stunning, tucked away yet easily accessible AONB that I wish I'd discovered years ago. A wonderful area for walks, messing about on the river and hiding from the modern world. There are some lovely places to visit and eat - we enjoyed eating at the Angel Inn, the Golf & Spa hotel and at Mimosa just inside Colchester.

it was a nice little village with pathways around the church and over the fields-so great if you enjoy walking and exploring. we ate at the Angel where we were staying but there is also another hotel in the village if you fancy a change. we mixed with the locals who were very friendly indeed and recommended that we should visit Nayland and also Polstead, which we did.We also went to Flatford Mill and had an enjoyable walk along the river.
