Disappointed

Sorry but a bit disappointed as we were hoping for a bit more luxury.☹️ the hotel may be 4star but our room (saver double) was 2star....not even as nice as a premier inn. No charging points, Window directly on to public pavement...grey carpet, worn grey painted furniture, grey curtains...all very grey. Parking was difficult.

Excellent!!

We had a fabulous 3 night mid-week stay. Our room was spacious and comfortable. The staff were attentive and really friendly and the food in the restaurant was exquisite. We had intended to find other places to eat during our stay but the food was so good here there was absolutely no point. I would highly recommend this hotel.

A 24 Hour break in paradise

Our stay at the Royal Hotel was very enjoyable. The staff, food and accommodation was first class. This is a beautiful vintage hotel which maintains a high standard in all areas. The beach and carpark are both a short walk from the premises.
