We stayed for just one night on 31/3/12 stay at the Royal. Wish it could have been for longer. Hope to do it again sometime.

Just back from a 2 night half board break booked via 5pm.co.uk. We were really impressed from start to finish. Friendly, relaxed atmosphere with excellent service, food etc. Neither my wife or i had been to this corner of the country but given it was less than 2 hours from Glasgow we hope to return soon!

The service is friendly and unprententious though we did not seem to keep one waiter/waitress thoughout the meal. At one point I thought another customer was trying to take my plate away but it turned out to be a waiter... More
