Only thing id say is the glasses were not clean. We actually parked down the road as we didn't relaise where the hotel car park was but was £5.50 for 24 hrs.
Lovely hotel and staff were very friendly
Definitely stay again.

Just come home from a short stay with my daughter at The Royal Hotel. We were upgraded to a lovely suite when we arrived. The receptionist was very friendly and helpful.The room was amazing and very clean. I had the best night sleep. There was a kettle in the room, along with tea, coffee, hot chocolate and biscuits, which My daughter loved.
We dined in the restaurant at dinner time. The food was lovely. So much to choose from. We also had breakfast which I cannot fault. The staff that served us were very friendly and worked really hard. There was a little car park opposite the hotel which was free. There were quite a few spaces when we arrived. We really enjoyed our stay even though it was very short. We will def return to the hotel in the future.

We always find hotel rooms too hot, so take the duvet out of its cover and just use the cover. After our return at the end of our first full day, my heart sank as I though the housekeeping team had re-bagged it. However, n closer inspection whilst they had done just that, they also gave us another duvet cover so that the duvet could stay covered up. All the toiletries were very nice and refillable large bottles, not the small single use ones. Breakfast was excellent if a little pricey. £16.50 for full English.

Great historic hotel. Friendly staff . No problems.

Comfortable enough. Bed was a small double. Reception was ok, but not terribly interested.
Servers for dinner tried hard, but our stay was overshadowed by the wedding taking place.

The room I stayed was good, if a little dated, the Restuarant, bar and lounge are very good, excellent and attentive staff, can’t fault them.
Having free parking straight across the road in Bideford is a real bonus. The only downside is infront of the hotel, waste ground and metal fencing.

I booked a single room in the attic but as the hotel was quiet got an upgrade to a double room with river view. It was fabulous. The bed was so comfy and the bathroom lovely with big fluffy towels. Parking couldn't have been easier - literally across the road. Breakfast was a bit pricey I thought so I didn't bother with that - it would be nice to be able to just get cereal or something light rather than paying for a big buffet. The only other improvement would be fridges in the room.

Everything about our visit to The Royal Hotel was excellent. All of the staff we interacted with were happy, smiling and willing to assist. Our room was clean, tidy and very well looked after. The lotions and potions in the bathroom were lovely and they definitely added a feeling of luxury to our ablutions. The public areas were equally well presented and well cared for. Our meal in the restaurant was fabulous, everything was tasty and beautifully cooked. Our only complaint... the portions were too big and neither my wife or I could finish our meals. The size of the portions shouldn't make you think they are filling the plate at the expense of the quality of the food, my Fillet Rossini was truly excellent! So, yes The Royal Hotel definitely deserves 5 stars!

Hotel building was nice.
Room was OK but very dated bathroom but clean, no usb plugs so had to use USB in back of TV to charge phone.
Restaurant was deceiving, food was not to the standard the restaurant portrayed.
Will stay again but definitely not eat in restaurant.

On arrival we were given an option to upgrade. This we took as the room was bigger and quieter being at the back of the property. However we were notified that there was a kitchen extract fan 2 floors below which would run during the day but would stop about 22:00 hrs. This did not present a problem during our stay.
We ate in for the 2 nights. The meal choice was good with with very generous portions.
A good location to town without being in the town

Fantastic 3 star hotel with comfortable beds. Friendly staff. Very good food in the restaurant.
3.0 / 10.0
Hotel is friendly with good service and check in is quick. Room is a bit tired and there was a random used cotton bud in the bathroom. Breakfast omelette was dire, worst I've ever eaten. 1000c hot and tastes of used oil. Small and definitely poor value. Coffee is always bad at the hotel so I've moved to tea. Probably won't bother with breakfast in future.

Comfortable and aesthetically pleasing old premises with courteous staff and service. Spent first weekend in December there and hit xmas parties which limited evening dining spaces and parking for guests of the hotel.
