"A standout stay at a characterful hotel in a great location. The Royal Marine Hotel perfectly balances traditional charm with tasteful modern touches, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout. What truly sets this place apart is the hospitality. Richard, the owner, leads a first-class team who clearly take pride in what they do. From the moment we arrived, the welcome was genuine and personable, and that level of care remained consistent right through to our departure. The on-site bar is both cosy and well-stocked, and the food deserves special mention. The menu focuses on high-quality, home-cooked dishes done exceptionally well. The handmade burger was a highlight—easily one of the best I’ve had—and it convinced us to stay for breakfast the following morning, which was equally impressive. In terms of value, service, and overall experience, The Royal Marine Hotel delivers on every level. It’s the kind of place you look forward to returning to—and we certainly will be. Highly recommended."

"Perfect place for a bed ahead of an early flight."

"Update sockets with USB sockets would be better"

"Not a great sleep from a constant noise which I assume was from external ventilation running."

"Fantastic all round"

"This is my second stay. Always clean and comfortable. Love the proximity to the bar/restaurant and quick walk into town for more entertainment."

"Breakfast was good."

"The hotel is well located for lovely local towns, as well as being right on the beach for nice views and / or walks. The room was extremely spacious and well equipped, and breakfast was very nice - my only complaint would be that it would be ideal to be served a bit later for those travelling for leisure (who like a long lie!). I had an amazing massage at the spa and was lucky with a warm sunny day (in April!), meaning I felt like I was abroad as I sat in the spa pool / sun lounger awaiting my treatment. Free car parking is a bonus. Not cheap but definitely worth it!"

"Great staff all round. Breakfast menu had good choice. Meals in main restaurant had something for everyone. "
