We really enjoyed our stay at The Royal Hotel. The hotel is a mixture of modern and old-worldly furnishings.The room was spacious and the bed comfortable. We ate breakfast at the hotel both mornings of our stay and enjoyed the customized order process - everything from beans to bacon if you desired it. The location is very convenient, just stroll...

I have stayed at this excellent hotel on many occasions over the last few years. It remains admirably consistent in its high standards. It is extremely comfortable, clean, warm and cosy,with outstanding food and service to match. It combines the best of the past with the modern and represents remarkably good value for money. Thoroughly recommended. More

I have been in Bideford for quite a few years now, and the Royal Hotel was one of the first places me and my husband had a meal.

Went with friends on our 5th visit to the Royal at Bideford for 5 nights, Despite the kitchen being refitted (of which we had been advised beforehand) our stay was as enjoyable as always with the helpful, friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere. The menu was slightly less selection than usual, but the food as always fresh, hot and tasty. The... More

This hotel is fairly old but well maintained and at least it has a lift! Our room was very comfortable and big enough for the third bed without feeling cramped. The Sunday lunch carvery was very nice indeed and the staff were friendly and helpful. The only negatives are that there is a smell of cooking (cabbage?) in the lounge... More
