On arrival I was checked in, in the bar and quickly in my room. When I saw the old staircase and old carpet, I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised. The Royal Hotel is in the middle of the main street and there's ample parking out front. ||My room was lovely, the bed extremely comfortable and had good linen. The room had high ceilings with beautiful, pressed metal. The bathroom was accessed via a short private corridor, which also gave me access to the back balcony. The bathroom was modern and spacious, but unfortunately, I could smell sewerage (hopefully this problem has been rectified as I messaged them about it). The front balcony is a lovely place to sit overlooking the main street. ||I enjoyed dinner in the restaurant, accessed through the beautiful historic bar. The restaurant features beautiful, pressed metal ceilings and crystal chandeliers. The meal was tasty, well priced and the service excellent.||If you are after a little old world charm and nice rooms, The Royal...

A bit of a mixed bag for us: the Caesar salad was really generous with the bacon and added Halloumi, but there wasn't any sign of Caesar dressing... It was mayonnaise instead. Fish and chips was fine, decent serving size as well. The nachos were good, but the Parma was a big miss.

I would give 3.5 for the food, but the lack of music (or any atmosphere at all) in the dining area brings it down to 3. The front bar was very enticing though: old fashioned theme with an Irish touch,. Roaring fires made it feels very cosy.... It's just a shame the dining area doesn't have...

They had everything you could want and were clean and comfortable. We liked the decor, the air conditioning, the nice bathrooms and the convenient little touches like the pod coffee machine, toaster and small fridge that helped make our trip easy and enjoyable. ||The single room had a shared bathroom, and was small and basic but clean. ||We had dinner downstairs in the restaurant with a group of about 20. All the meals were great. ||The hotel was in a great central location on the main street. Across the road to the rear was the grocery store, and there were at least 3 parks/ playgrounds that we found within 5 mins walk.||We enjoyed our...
