We stayed here with our friends on a Shearings midweek trip. We had refurbished rooms which were better than expected. Nice comfortable beds and plenty of tea coffee and bottled water in the room. Nice food in the restaurant and good breakfasts. We spent every night in the entertainment lounge and always had a good night. Very good hard working... More

33 members of our walking group stayed at the Royal Hotel from 29 April to 3 May and had a very good stay. The location was perfect for us.

The waiting staff were brilliant and well mannered especially Jo,an. Food was extremely good and tasty. We were very fortunate... More

We stopped Monday to Friday in a superior room on the second floor overlooking the harbour and sea. Lovely view. Service was very good and staff helpful. The meals were fine and the kitchen could cater for small changes to the set menu. We experienced the entertainment for a few nights and enjoyed ourselves. Great location but a hilly walk... More
