We have been going to the royal over many years, it is a fantastic full of history hotel, our recent visit surprised us on how much work had been done to the hotel in a very positive way, we also noticed that it is now attracting younger people which is brilliant the staff are always lovely and the location is perfect, more work was underway and we look forward to seeing the results on our next visit which is only in 3 weeks time with our daughters and grandchildren, unfortunately due to being on a budget we won't be having Seaview rooms 😪but I'm sure we will still enjoy our stay, we only had breakfast which was very good
