We stayed here after receiving a generic email from the hotel with an April offer of BB & evening meal for £35.00 pp. We had a lovely room, fantastic 3-course meal in the evening and an excellent cooked breakfast. We couldn't believe the fantastic deal, we would have paid twice this much and been happy! The staff were a delight,... More

Just returned from a two day stay. The hotel is excellent. It has also had a make over. The food is some of the best I have had. The staff are friendly, helpful and very polite. A great stay, I am returning very soon.

Stopped here a few weeks ago for a weekend break. Whilst the hotel is functional, the room was large and spacious and nice and quiet at night the hotel is in desperate need of a good makeover as it seems stuck in the 1970s. I'd probably stop here again if I had to but wouldn't go out of my way.

Lat night I stayed at the Royal Chase Hotel The sink was in an old and worn unit and had a massive crack the general appearance of the bathroom suggest that it needs a complete makeover. At breakfast I requested a kipper this arrived very quickly but although it looked right it was cold my suspicion is that it had... More

Don't be misled by the word 'luxury' in the description on the hotel's website. It has a pool but that doesn't make it a luxury hotel. Walls and carpeting were very old style refurbishment but the place was clean. We were upgraded to a junior suite which was spacious alright but the decor was a mix of traditional and new... More

We stay at the Royal Chase every couple of months and the standard of rooms, service and food is always good. This time they have put a TV with Sky in the bar to keep us entertained. Friendly staff and welcome from all. Good breakfast and plenty of it. We will be back.

I stayed here for a few days last week and found it a very nice relaxing hotel. My room was quite large and nicely furnished. I particularly liked the restaurant. The decor, lighting and furnishings are really nice, the food is very good, particularly the homemade Ice Cream, and the service is very prompt. It is difficult to se how... More

Stayed here and the cleanliness defiantly needs looking at! The food isn't anything to rave about probably better then the local pub though but the bread was stale! Staff quite polite but quite off putting the chef painting the bar while we are having a drink! Maybe do the painting when guests aren't in there?

A gem of a hotel with great character and a really comfortable room with everything we needed. The poo and jacuzzi are a real bonus, and the staff are first class, especially Claire on Reception and Rosie in the Bar & Restaurant - friendly, helpful and efficient. Food is well-priced, delicious & served very promptly. This is a perfect location... More
