Really pleased with our stay at Royal Duchy Hotel. The staff were all absolutely brilliant, friendly and helpful. Our room was massive and very clean and had everything we needed. Both a large shower and a large bath in our room. Facilities area and pool also very nice. Free dry robes to borrow, if needed, were a nice touch, although we didnt use them this time unfortunately. Cooked breakfast was the nicest we ever tasted! Sausages were gigantic and amazing quality, again waiting staff were very accommodating and helpful. Location brilliant! Parking was easy as they have plenty of spaces. Overall we are extremely pleased with our stay and will be staying again in the future!

Room small but clean. Receptionist polite and booked a morning taxi for me. Very impressed that room had GF biscuits and oat milk by the kettle, I really appreciated this indeed it is the first hotel I have stayed in that has ever done this in advance, they had noted my breakfast request and done it for the room tea tray too. Breakfast was in very large room, over 30 tables set with flowers overlooking the sea. I arrived first at breakfast, no other guests and was led to the worst table in the room at the back by the kitchen. I was told all the other tables were allocated. Awful. This has happened to me at other hotels. I asked to be moved to a table with view by window and the person in charge grudgingly made this possible. I was not made to feel very welcome. However, breakfast was tasty, and the sunrise over the sea was stunning. When I left half an hour later there were still no other guests in the room to fill all those " allocated" tables.

The hotel is very comfortable, the location terrific and the staff extremely helpful. I was surprised by the somewhat unimaginative breakfast selection - no sugar-free muesli, nuts, seeds, etc, and only sweet spreads for toast. The portions were generous but I missed my daily shot of sugar-free fibre.
