"Definitely different from the soulless norm. Very pleasant greeting from the owners and a lovely served breakfast with some very nice personal touches. A lot of thought had gone into the decor some of which was highly amusing, not least the draped mannikin in the cocktail bar. The cocktails were excellent as well. If you want all modcons of a modern hotel chain then not for you but if you like something unique, personal and quirky then this is for you. Made our road trip down the East Coast very special. "

"Initial problems were car park was totally full (despite being told no need to pre-book as plenty of space) This was 3rd party info. & did not match what the hotel told us on arrival. Our allocated room left a lot to be desired. Thankfully Michelle on reception efficiently addressed all the issues and resolved everything to our total satisfaction by sorting the parking issue and moving us to a great room. Without her intervention we would have walked away, but now more than happy with her superb service and we will definitely & happily return to the Royal. She really is a credit to your hotel!"

"Great location , owner very responsive, walkable to everything. A portable fan for summertime would be a great addition for air circulation. Bring own shampoo. "

"We had a wonderful stay! The property was spotless, well-maintained, and just minutes from shops and restaurants—super convenient. The host was incredibly helpful and responsive, making everything easy from start to finish. We especially appreciated the thoughtful gift basket on arrival (and milk in the fridge)—it was a lovely touch. Highly recommend!"
