About
The Angel is all about a warm welcome, good quality local food and beautiful surroundings and occupies a beautifully restored 17th Century coaching inn, situated in the middle of the Cotswold village of Sherston. We are ideally located for visits to the historic city of Bath, the elegant spa town of Cheltenham and shopping trips to Bristol or Swindon - Sherston is just perfect for a relaxing break. Westonbirt Arboretum, the gardens at Highgrove, the Beaufort Polo Club and the Badminton Estate are on the doorstep and the market towns of Tetbury and Malmesbury, with its historic abbey, are just 6 miles away. Bath is less than 20 miles away. We are normally closed on Christmas day and Boxing day and other opening / closing times may vary around the festive period.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We visited here as we had heard about the place and thought we’d try it for my birthday lunch. We sat in the courtyard garden which was so sheltered and quiet. The cafe wasn’t busy either which was good! Our sandwiches were so fresh and beautifully presented, and the ginger cake was very tasty. Good coffee too. The staff were polite and the service was quick. We will definitely return

Our GP is in Sherston and my wife had an early morning routine appointment there, so we decided to go to the Angel afterwards.
Simple breakfast with coffee for two.
Won't bore people with what we ate (look at their menu), but all I will say is it looked and tasted as though it had come out of a kitchen, rather than out of a factory.
The place is nice, the staff good and the food delicious and very well priced.
Try it-you will not be disappointed.

Unexpectedly good ... The Angel looks nice enough on their website. Most places do. But the location, decor, welcome and food in reality were all way above expectation. The courtyard garden doesn't seem to have many photos online - it's the star of the show tucked away from the spacious dining area. It's dog friendly, which was a bonus. Service is fast, but eggs royale, eggs benedict and pulled pork bap better than you'd expect in a very decent London hotel. Spotlessly clean but with Cotswold chic vibes. I'm tired of so many places in the area now charging £22 for a £15 brunch plate. Loads of options here for under a tenner, a bit more if you dive into the delicious Basque cheesecake like I did. It completes every breakfast, really. Top Marks to the Angel, which isn't really a cafe, but I'm not sure what word describes it better.

Always drive past and the cafe looks lovely so popped in. We ordered a full English breakfast each with coffee, the man behind the counter did not come across welcoming or friendly. They seemed to be short staffed, but the member of staff said it’s always like it.
Our breakfasts arrived and were put down on the table without the waiter saying a word and briskly walked off, we had to go and ask for salt and ketchup. The menu stated homemade baked beans, which sounded great but when they arrived they were slightly spicy. I think it would state that on the menu. Dry toast with no butter, we like ‘farmshop’ sausages but we both thought these tasted almost powdery. Scrambled egg was tasteless.
None of the staff came to check how our food was, we ate half of our food and left. We eat breakfast out a lot and were very disappointed.

Dear Amy
Thank you for your review of The Angel on December 27th. As the points you have made are factually incorrect and after taking some time to read your reviews of other locations, I suspect that we could never fit your requirements and therefore I do not intend to comment further.

Staff need to listen to customers requests. Asked for Mulled Cider, was brought a bottle of cold cider!! Staff were not forthcoming in changing it and my daughter was embarrassed to ask. She did say I asked for Mulled Cider, staff should have said immediately ‘I’m sorry I’ll get that changed’. Americano coffee was only warm, drank straight down. Cakes were passable. Wouldn’t go there again.

Dear Leaf
I must apologise for this delayed response to your review. I did not receive an alert from Tripadvisor (which is normally what happens) and, as we were very busy, I didn't check until today.
I was very sorry to read your review. I have now had a chance to speak to the member of staff concerned (a very polite and friendly young Bangladeshi gentleman whose first language is not English) and he remembers the situation very clearly.
With regards to the coffee, I cannot understand how that could have happened and, as to the cakes, both suppliers (Cakesmiths and Knead) have won several awards for their quality.
If you would be prepared to visit us again, I will ensure that your experience is a better one.

Finding accommodation in this particular village isn’t easy, getting availability at the angel was a god send. The place is brand new and is of a high standard, the coffee shop is fantastic along with the staff in it, very helpful and nothing was ever too much for them. Compliments to the kitchen staff the food was quality for the prices paid, will certainly return upon our return, 5* all around.

I booked one of their rooms, which was a lovely spacious, stylish and well appointed bedroom and bathroom with king size bed for a one night stay while I visited friends. Couldn’t have been more helpful prior to the stay with the booking and the information that was sent prior to arrival. Felt a bit odd just rocking up, letting myself in and finding the room but because the information and key entry codes was so well explained it wasn’t an issue, even coming back very late at night. Didn’t avail myself of the cafe but it did look good when I came down in the morning, top marks for decent coffee in the room, lovely. Would definitely stay again. Thank you
