The Royal first opened as a hotel in 1846 and has been owned by the present owners since 1995. During this time there has been an ongoing programme of renovation and improvements to ensure that this lovely property, which was designed by Brunel, is well maintained and provides attractive facilities for our many guests. We have an excellent reputation for food and a friendly, relaxing atmosphere. Non-smoking bedrooms and restaurant. 31 en suite bedrooms, all recently redecorated in a traditional style - in keeping with the hotel which adds to the character and attraction of staying at The Royal. Dinner, bed and breakfast rates are from £39 per person per night based on a two night stay.
