Will return soon!
Great location & good views. Staff friendly & very helpful. Allowed us in early as the room was ready. Lovely room & bathroom but a little small. Very clean bedding , my friend next door said their room was far too hot even though they turned the heating off but mine was ok. Great lounge & bar.

Although the room and bathroom were spotlessly clean the rooms could do with updating a bit. The bed was very hard and the pillows even harder. The meals were ok but breakfast very oily. The serving staff were excellent and the reception staff very helpful.

I love the Royal and have gone there for years. It's a great position with a lovely view from the bar. Rooms are clean and a comfy bed. A little tired ( Very minor issues). Staff are lovely. Shame that the pool has shut permanently.
