I have been staying at this hotel for years, on a regular basis. It used to be wonderful. However, over the last 18 months, things have changed and not for the better. Prices have increased, but what we get has decreased, from what is in the room, to breakfast, to service. The efficient staff all seem to have left and there appears to be a major gap in the employees' training. Hotel guests are treated as poor relations, always inconvenienced when there is a function in the pub. There isn’t one aspect, whether it be value for money or service that is a patch on what it was. If you are staying for the first time, then you may be content, but trust me, it should be so much better. I will not be back!.

Best hotel B&B! Extended our stay another night!

The Princess Royal is quite possibly my new favorite hotel bed and breakfast. The accommodations were beyond excellent. The room had air conditioning to beat the summer heat and was very comfortable and relaxing to stay in. We ended up booking a 2nd night because we were so pleased with our stay during the first night. The breakfast was great. They had a continental-style option to start and then a menu to order a fairly wide set of filling options, all included in the very reasonable rate. The staff were excellent, personable, and always looking to go the extra mile to make our stay memorable. Supper was extremely tasty and the pub food offerings generous in portion and flavor. I wish we had places like this in the States.

Te first morning breakfast was good and the waiter kept topping up your coffee/tea. The second morning service was very slow we were sat at the table for almost half an hour before our order was taken and they only came around once with coffee/tea

We stayed at a local hotel but needed another 3 nights, which wasn’t available, so we tried The Princess Royal and wished we’d stopped here for the whole time as it’s far superior, a nice and friendly pub/hotel, with great food😃😃
