The Royal Hotel

Second time at the Royal and much better this time. The room was clean and adequate, very plain decor. Bathroom a reasonable size and again quite clean. Overall the room / bathroom a little dated and tired but did the job. Dinner was quite good foodwise and service. Breakfast was a great improvement on our last stay, food served buffet style. Fried eggs, still the smallest I've ever seen and on one morning were swimming in fat. The rest of the buffet was quite good especially the hash browns, very tasty. Booking out was fast and easy, Overall a reasonable stay and will use again when in the area.

High end price tag for an old worn out antiquated dilapidated hotel, more like staying at Fawlty Towers! Stained carpets in hall ways & bedroom. Mould stains in a shower with a shower head fixed so you could only wash your head. Really disappointed

Just had a 3 night stay at The Royal..1st time. Was a quirky hotel with hampton Maze corridors!! which we found amusing & Fun... We arrived on Wednesday, and, after a small issue, (which our Man Will.. rectified) We ate at the Carvery that night and were more than Happy & Satisfied with our meal. The Breakfasts were excellent !! Hot & plentiful, choice etc. and Nam the attendee was omnipresent to help . The Bar waitress on Friday evening did a Fantastic job... on her own... coping with a last minute influx of customers.. as did the Restaurant staff.. Will & Nam.. Overall, we had an enjoyable stay and were really blessed with great weather, we loved the Village.. (it could do with a cpl more Pubs!) and would probably stay again.. Many Thanks. D & C xx

Good hotel very comfortable bed , coffee shop and bar very good. Staff very friendly and helpful

Nice. Easy. Close to job.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Royal Hotel. Great service and its really convenient.

Only went for dinner whilst staying in the town on holiday. We went for a special occasion after having a few drinks in the bar on days previously. The bar is cosy and friendly. The restaurant was busy and only had one member of staff serving and she was good but struggling. The food was a strange mix of dishes - I had ordered a triple chicken burger - this was three chicken fillets in a bun. There was no seasoning or coating on the chicken and it was generally dry fillets. It was not as expected in any way or how I have ever seen a chicken burger. My wife had chicken dish - however this was a chicken on a bed of fries covered in cheese sauce and then more blue cheese. This is such a strange dish and was really quite greasy and fatty as you can imagine. The mixed sea food looked very nice that was ordered. The staff were helpful - however overall, the meals were basic and were no better than you could knock up in your own kitchen as a after pub meal when you were short of in refiners and half-cut and not really appetising, just functional and reminded me of a hotel as they were in the 1970s or 80s. The restaurant menu is in need of a general overhaul and needs some finesse and vegetables to make more of what is there. The restaurant could be great - but food is uninspiring, unusual and really clearly dated.

Called in for a drink and a light lunch after a walk along the cliff paths. I am sorry to say that the food was very disappointing. We ordered a sandwich with chips, which was described as being served on thick malted bloomer bread. The sandwich was served on standard medium sliced supermarket bread, the turkey was dry and the chips were soggy, grey in colour and tasteless. For £13.90 it was a very poor offering. Won't be returning.
