Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
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.

Rooms were well equipped with thoughtful detail and spacious. Bathroom was well equipped with safety rail and bathmat provided. Good range of bathroom accessories. Parking was fine but we arrived early and the carpark was full by short time later. Poor choice at breakfast. No continental breakfast availability No flexibility. My wife had cereal and toast and we had two teas. Not a pot of tea. Cost was too high, Very good serving staff.

We got a nice welcoming greeting on arrival. The room was very clean and it even had an ironing board and iron. The meals there are delicious and the restaurant area is lovely. It's great that you can just pull up in their carpark, there is plenty of room to park.Fantastic stay and we would go again to this hotel.
