A relaxed and utterly enjoyable dining experience, with the water quite literally lapping…
The Royal Hotel

“In a lovely location, a few steps from the river” - AA Inspector
BIDEFORD, DEVON

Our Inspector's view
A quiet and relaxing hotel, The Royal Hotel is located near the river within a five-minute walk of the busy town centre and the quay. The bright, well maintained public areas retain much of the charm and style of the hotel's 17th-century origins, particularly in the wood-panelled Kingsley Suite. Bedrooms are well equipped and comfortable. Both the meals and lounge snacks are very good.

About the area
Discover Devon
With magnificent coastlines, two historic cities and the world-famous Dartmoor National Park, Devon sums up all that is best about the British landscape. For centuries it has been a fashionable and much loved holiday destination – especially south Devon’s glorious English Riviera.
Close to the English Riviera lies Dartmoor, one of the south-west’s most spectacular landscapes. The National Park, which contains Dartmoor, covers 365 square miles and includes many fascinating geological features – isolated granite tors and two summits exceeding 2,000 feet among them.
Not surprisingly, in Dartmoor the walking opportunities are enormous. Cycling in the two National Parks is also extremely popular and there is a good choice of off-road routes taking you to the heart of Dartmoor and Exmoor. Devon’s towns and cities offer stimulating alternatives to the rigours of the countryside.
