Great overnight stay, couldn’t fault our room and cleanliness. Wonderful breakfast and good parking. Hotel is really well situated for the town centre, on a bit of a hill, and in a quiet area. Would definitely return.

Friendly staff. The room was lovely and clean and was well equipped for my short stay. The only downside for me was that the window in my room were rattling in the wind as they didn't lock/close very securely. I would stay again despite this as overall I was very happy with my stay.

Beautiful

I didn’t know what to expect so I was over the moon when I arrived and saw how beautiful the hotel was. The manager Amy was very kind and made sure my room was suitable to my needs and I was not disappointed, it was stunning. I absolutely loved my room and was very comfortable.

Check was quick and smooth. Environment was clean. Rooms were ample, clean, comfortable and quiet Website describes it as a “hotel” but I discovered on arrival that it designated a B&B, with no telephone in the room. This made it inconvenient for enquiries to the front desk, or for emergencies. However I understand this us not uncommon for B&B in England

An overnight stay and the Royal Wells offers value and ticks the boxes for us on location, car parking, value and quality of breakfast too. It’s an older style of building and therefore has a few creaks.
