BREAKFAST IN BED AT THE ANGEL HOTEL, BURY ST EDMUNDS
Waking up in one of the spectacular rooms at The Angel Hotel is romantic enough, especially when you draw aside the curtains and look out through the ivy-shrouded window onto the beautiful Abbey Gate. Order breakfast in bed for two and you’ll never want to leave.

LUNCH AT THE CROWN & CASTLE, ORFORD
Cosy, charming, and surrounded by the coastal beauty of Orford, the Crown and Castle is the kind of pub that allows you to totally forget the rest of the world.
