I booked the hotel for a get together of 16 old friends - eight couples. We arrived on the Friday and checked out on Sunday for a half board arrangement. This included dinner one evening in the main dining room and for the second evening in a room just for ourselves. All of us had a great time. The food... More

Took my sister and a group of 8 other girls for afternoon tea & it was absolutely wonderful! My sister felt like a princess & they catered to every allergy in the group & gave discount which was very unexpected. Great value for money, we all left very happy :) More

Within ten minutes of entering the rather stuffy dining room I was asked rudely by the head waitress to, "Keep the kids noise down a bit"-... More

Arrived at the Royal to find this hotel did not live up to the reputation on Trip Advisor. It is not a young persons hotel and came across as a retirement home. The reception process was poor and were not asked when we wanted dinner but told when we could have it... We were told we should have per booked,... More
