Sorry for the delay in posting. My wife and I stayed at this hotel to celebrate her 50th birthday on 20 April. We loved everything about the hotel. Location is everything and you could not want for any more. The internal furnishings and accommodation are excellent. The food is to die for. The staff are always on hand and could... More

When Keith & I fell in love with our hotel, we fell hook line and sinker for the building and took the location for granted, but within weeks of being here and working in the restaurant we realised what a stunning outlook we had. As you will probably have noticed you can watch the weather changing from the south end... More

We've just returned from a perfect weekend at The Royal. I was told beforehand by Christine that we could not be given a sea view - they were almost full when I phoned - and I didn't mind this in the least. We had a most spacious, warm and comfortable room with a huge bathroom. We're short of space at... More

It is so nice to get 3 reviews on the trot with 5/5 ratings. Thank you so much for being the third and for spending the time to share your experience with us. As you were able to find out, our rear/garden rooms are just as nice and spacious as our front, sea view rooms, they just lack that spectacular... More

Booked on a special 2 night DBB deal and couldn't help wondered if we might get a small room and corner table with no view for dinner.

Thank you for your review. Beds and their mattresses sometimes cause the most stress in my life. When we purchased the hotel we were relieved to find the previous owners had spent wisely and purchased good quality mattresses.

We stayed for three nights in march. The hotel itself is lovely and inviting. The food was lovely in the restaurant thought quite fancy. My husband preferred the bar menu as ti was more 'normal food'. Both were tastey in my opinion. Wine quite expensive. Breakfast amazing! The service was also faultless. Our room was tasteful with fab views. Only... More
