The Royal Hotel was excellent and we would certainly recommend staying there. The food was very good at dinner & snack lunch. Breakfast was fine for us and we would have liked a better fruit collection. More brochures of surrounding places to visit would be helpful. ##### Peter Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Howard 6 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Nice well maintained hotel - friendly staff ##### Howard Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### joseph 12 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### nice hotel and free parking nice enough place food looked good but we didn't eat there. ##### joseph Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adam 27 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The room was clean the bed was really comfy and the food and service were excellent. ##### Adam Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### stephen 11 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Good car parking, ideally situated, excellent service and good food. ##### stephen Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anne 29 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff were particularly helpful and friendly.
