Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Royal Inn offers a generally pleasant experience, with many guests highlighting the spacious and clean rooms. The bathrooms often feature both a bath and a walk-in shower, and some rooms offer lovely views. While the location is convenient for accessing the marina and the rocky beach, a few guests have noted that some rooms can get quite warm, particularly those on the top floor, and occasionally felt the price didn't quite match the offering.

Really good Stay with Wonderful Amenities

quirky lampsinviting colortasty breakfastcomfortable bed

The room featured quirky lamps and an inviting color scheme. I found it to be quite comfortable. Breakfast offered a tasty Farmer's breakfast, a nice change from typical options. I appreciated the excellent views from the lovely terrace. The spacious room overlooked the estuary, furnished with a big, very comfortable bed.

The complimentary tea and coffee provided only one carton of long-life milk. A fridge or mini-bar was not present in the room so sharing the milk for our drinks after travelling was our only option.
