The bed was super comfortable and the refurbished bar and restaurant were excellent. The only downside was that the lift wasn’t working due to a new one being installed. It’s the second time that we’ve stayed in this hotel and it certainly won’t be the last

Excellent hotel, despite scaffolding on one side of building and lift being refurbished. Staff very helpful and reasonably priced drinks. Gravel car park is very uneven and on a steep slope that could be improved.

The staff are amazing. The Royal is undergoing a major refurb, but no inconvenience caused with the cleaner's doing an exceptional job. I was booked in for bed and breakfast of which the breakfast was well worth the money and the service again excellent.
