This is not an hotel. Restaurant has been closed for over three years, therefore it is a large b&b. Only offers breakfast No other food available. Not suitable for anyone with any disability. An open staircase at floor level on ground floor is very dangerous to children or elderly. Only has 7 parking spaces, which must be booked and 'free' parking on road is rarely available. Bar facilities are very limited. Awful place!

A bit tatty but staff made up for it

Staff lovely and nice breakfast, although carpets were a bit tatty in places and a clump of hair in shower on arrival and toilet tissue behind toilet.

Additional charged on breakfast

Couldn’t get a parking spot had to park on the street as there is only 6 spaces and the room which was up the lift down the stairs and turn left which was hard carrying heavy bags and when in the room couldn’t open the window as it was secured tightly was told if I wanted breakfast I had to tell them the night before and if I decided to ask the next morning there is a additional charge

Okay in dire circumstances

We got a room that you would be okay with if you stayed at a relative's spare bedroom, but as something this costly - the quality does not match the price. The carpet had some weird stains on it and the windows looked like they had mould on them or just like they haven't been cleaned in a while. There was some hair in the bathtub, the toiletries provided seemed to have been used (from the previous visitor I assume), there was a sign for directions of use for a shower curtain and a bath mat - none of which were provided, and to top it off, there was a peephole in the wall next to the shower controls. Although dog friendly, they do charge a hefty fee. And while other places that charge such fees at least offer bedding, food/water bowls, snacks etc. for the pet, here you get nothing. Just paying for the luxury of having your pet in the room. On a more positive note, the bedding was clean, and you did have a variety of tea+coffee options. It's a shame that the only positive points are something that should be taken for granted. Based on the room we also decided not to go for the breakfast. tl;dr Below average room, not well cleaned. If you have a dog with you, there are probably better options around.

We had stayed here before and were disappointed earlier this year, when we were informed that the hotel was permanently closed. We were therefore delighted when we received an email from Richardson Hotels, offering accommodation there again. We booked a week in early July and weren't disappointed. Yes, the fabric of the hotel needs some attention but our room was clean and comfortable and benefitted from a bay window with a sea view. The staff were friendly, accommodating and very hard-working always with a smile on their faces. We would certainly stay here again in the future.

Made to feel I was a burden

My 3 stay here (10th - 13th July 2025) was during a heatwave. My sea view bedroom got extremely warm and there was no air conditioning or fan to make the stay more comfortable. The bathroom floor was squeaky and I could also hear the squeaky floor from the next room. The TV was very basic. This hotel has a strange policy of having to book in for breakfast by the previous evening - I have NEVER encountered such a policy at other hotels I stayed at. If you forget to book breakfast in advance the hotel management aren’t very forgiving - they charge you an extra £2 so even though I was a paying guest I was made to feel a burden to them and unwelcome by the manager. On principle I decided not to pay the additional £2 and instead walked a short distance along the same road to The Manor Hotel where I WAS welcomed and had a lovely full breakfast for £13 The Royal Beacon Hotel has lost all credibility for that appalling policy and I would no longer recommend this hotel.

Not a bad little hotel, but needs some renovation works. Some areas look untidy and need a lick of paint and other areas are in need of some more major works. I was staying in the Courtyard rooms. The corridor and my room smelt of musty damp area and didn't improve one bit. But a great location and friendly staff.

Very small and dated rooms. Bathroom was almost bigger than the bedroom yet the shower box was super tiny, impossible to turn around inside and no place to put soap. Courtyard rooms are not good and we got woken up twice by garbage truck 5.30am and then 6.30am some other delivery truck with laundry…

2 night stay

I’ve stayed at this hotel many times. On this occasion my stay was okay. Nice room with sea view. The room was comfortable and clean but there was no hand soap and there was insufficient shower gel (30ml) for one person yet alone two - for 2 nights (the room was booked for two people) - Luckily I had taken my own soap and toiletries. Breakfast was enjoyable and the staff were friendly.
