The receptionist was extremely friendly, the hotel very nice , the rooms slightly dated, one plug had exposed wires so that was dangerous, not enough sockets however I understand that is a big job on an old building, but it was nice

Unfortunately this stay there seemed to be a shortage of staff. They had the same person looking after reception and the bar. At times this made the wait for a drink longer than was reasonable. I've been staying at the Royal for years now, but it is starting to look shabby and uninviting. Could do with a complete overhaul to bring it up to a standard befitting the beautiful building it is

The staff were brilliant. Very polite and friendly. I loved the fact I had a balcony to sit out on, but the charge for this, considering the bed was only a single, was far too much.

The room was very small, it's only benefit being a balcony. Also, as above, the difficulties at mealtimes. The full length mirror in our room was covered in a child's sticky fingerprints. The outside seating area was covered in cigarette stubs

The food at breakfast was fine, but it was very crowded as there was a coach load in & not enough staff. There were no black teabags left on our first morning & no one replaced them even though I asked. I couldn't get the toaster to work properly & no-one to help. The evening meal also affected by the coach people. We'd booked for 7 pm but we're not attended to until 7.30. One pair waiting walked out & we were about to follow.

The hotel is very dated it needs a good revamp.

The breakfast was lovely it always is. So much choice and always hot.

Stayed in August 2025

Due to the age of the hotel,it could do with some decoration and some furniture in the main areas could do with replacement.

Location. Friendly staff and good breakfast

Breakfast

Faded glory. Not well maintained. Ugly plastic windows in a Victorian building. Staff were ok but not very warm.

Breakfast was good. Value for money hotel.

Single bed was like sleeping on wood. The evening meal was very bland- Prawn Cocktail, was poor, main course was poor for flavour. Chicken was very dry and little dribble of BBQ sauce did not make it any better. Similar story for the other meals for the family. The hotel is over 100 years old and has the grandeur of a luxury hotel from the 1930's. It needs a complete refurb. The worn carpets on the stairs, the torn curtains in the room, It seems to cater for the older generation, but as one, it needs modernising, before the start of the next summer season.

Location, warm welcome, free parking, Breakfast was good, but they need to have the rolling toasters, and machines for the hot water/coffee machines, not pump style flasks, which normally used for a temp event. not every day for breakfast. Thge outdoor space looked great, but it was not the weather to sit out and enjoy it.

Tired, no housekeeping, room and bathroom small

Imposing building, good location

Stayed in August 2025

The bedroom was cramped and provided only about one square metre of clothes storage space.

The breakfast choice and quality was excellent, as were the evening meals.

Looking a little tired and breakfast was poor, very 1970’s style. Basic.

Good location, room was bright and the bed linen was good quality. Parking was easy and staff were good.

Good proximity to the sports location.
