Everything about our visit to The Royal Hotel was excellent. All of the staff we interacted with were happy, smiling and willing to assist. Our room was clean, tidy and very well looked after. The lotions and potions in the bathroom were lovely and they definitely added a feeling of luxury to our ablutions. The public areas were equally well presented and well cared for. Our meal in the restaurant was fabulous, everything was tasty and beautifully cooked. Our only complaint… the portions were too big and neither my wife or I could finish our meals. The size of the portions shouldn't make you think they are filling the plate at the expense of the quality of the food, my Fillet Rossini was truly excellent! So, yes The Royal Hotel definitely deserves 5 stars!
A truly wonderful stay from start to finish. Late arrival on Friday evening wasn't and issue. The hotel was rocking as there was a private event. Still as soon as we got to the room the noise of the party disappeared. The room and bathroom were presented excellent were warm and a great size. What made the trip truly special was the great staff (Bethan take a bow) and a fantastic chef. The food was absolutely brilliant some of the best I've had anywhere. A romantic weekend away this is the place. A relaxing getaway then The Royal at Bideford has your back. Highly recommended and will certainly be visiting again.

DO NOT USE.-Not accommodating for businesses to work with -Cancellations never accepted -Breakfasts never start on time -Packed lunches are usually wrong, or just completely forgotten about -Rooms are dated -And to top it all off; none of our guys would stay in the dreaded room 107 =limited daylight, right above the kitchen, with their extractor fans blowing in your window, noisy at all hours, and pigeons roosting right beside you in the tight back alley.…All in all, go to The Barnstaple Hotel instead, they are part of the same Brend group but the difference is just night and day.

Well what a pleasant surprise .I had an overnight stay here and I wasn't disappointed at all. I was welcomed with a friendly member of staff at the reception desk , who took my details and booked me in.The reception area was well presented and nicely decorated, for both Christmas and in general.My room was fantastic and really spacious. The room had all the necessary items, such as tea and coffee and the bathroom had plenty of toiletries and lovely nice clean towels.I ordered breakfast in the morning and again I was met with a friendly member of staff who showed me to my seat and took my order. The food was good, hot and fresh.The price of the room was fantastic value for money and I would definitely stay there again if I was in the area. The hotel also has its own car park.If you like my review please follow as I regularly review.

We were staying in Bideford and booked here for the Sunday Carvery. I’m not a fan of roast dinners in pubs/restaurants but hands down best roast dinner ever!! Food was amazing, plenty of choice and great service. Would definitely return if l am in the area in future. Payment system needs to be changed but definitely recommend for the carvery
