Ótimo service e atendimento
O hotel é um Pub com um bom serviço de hotel e o preço é excelente pelo oferecido.
Lovely room, spacious and clean with a very comfortable bed
Nice size bathroom with complimentary soaps, shampoos etc
All rooms on first floor so could be an issue if you have mobility problems
Royal hotel bar/ restaurant quite busy so would recommend booking if you want to dine in. Food quality was excellent and a great service given.
Decent size car park across the road, always found a space to park even when it was busy in the bar
I would have no hesitation staying here again if I am in the area
extremely expensive for the state of the rooms and the having to go and ask for some heating because the eoom was at below 16c. breakfast was expensive for waht you got.
An unexpected stay here after a cancelled ferry at Heysham but what a gem, such helpful staff, off road parking, amazing food and spotless clean. Ignore any dubious reviews, yes there are tired spots but these are all far outweighed by the positives. Only a 15 minute drive to Heysham too…
Nice hotel - good food, doggy super-friendly (even meals and ice-cream) - car park huge but not in peak times - only negative was the walls a little thin but nothing major. Distance to carnforth, lancaster and morecambe fine. Lovely people.
Room clean, linen well provided, crisp and clean, bed very comfortable. Television good.
Good on-siute toilet and shower .
Staff friendly.
Out of hours exit requires use of fire escape to poorly lit area of uneven ground. Lighting to that area needed. Otherwise carry a torch.
Would defiantly stay again.

Nice place with a lively bar suitable for a date or family outing...
The room was fine, if a little noisy from the road and the food in the pub was good. However, once the pub closes if you want to leave the room to walk the dog etc you need to use a steel, slippery fire escape. I'm 67 and didn't like it, my dog hated it too. I'm afraid I will not be returning.
The manager was helpful as the roller blind did not work properly and the retaining cable(s) had to be cut for the blind to drop and cut out the daylight.
The evening meal was excellent.
