Several different guests said it was the best wedding they’d ever been to. That was mostly down to the hotels overall professionalism and level of service.

- RRosie Holleyman18/11/2023Wedding at The RoyalWedding at The RoyalWe are so happy that we chose The Royal Hotel for our wedding. The hotel itself is beautiful, set in stunning grounds. The food and drink is of an extremely high standard. The staff made us and all of our guests feel so welcome and made the day so special - they were fun! Waking up so a beautiful sunrise and a view of the sea was a lovely way to top off a fantastic wedding day. We cannot recommend The Royal enough! We will hopefully be back each year to celebrate our anniversaries.We are so happy that we chose The Royal Hotel for our wedding. The hotel itself is beautiful, set in stunning grounds.

I didn’t hesitate to choose the property for my wedding venue as the staff are like family to us. I looked at myself in the mirror, and everything came together beautifully! Our ceremony and wedding breakfast took place in The Albert Room at The Royal Hotel. It was an intimate affair with 30 guests.""My lovely Mum and I have stayed at The Royal Hotel for 14 years.

From the initial meeting to discuss our plans to driving off to Cornwall for our honeymoon, the whole process went smoothly and exceeded our expectations. The sun even shone!
