Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Royal Oak Hotel enjoys a fantastic location right on the harbor front, with some guests enjoying brilliant sea views from their spacious rooms, and a large bath in some rooms. The hotel is close to bars, shops and restaurants. While most found the rooms comfortable and well-appointed, some guests in certain rooms have noted noise from a nearby nightclub. The comfortable king beds and easy access to the marina make it a convenient spot for exploring the area.

fantastic harbour view room!

helpful receptionist recent decoration quick walk large wetherspoons

I was so impressed! the receptionist was super helpful and carried my luggage to my room, i was so early. it is close to everything, a quick walk to the beach and a large wetherspoons. loved the recent decoration. It is really nice. i parked opposite for £20 which gave me 24 hours!

the outside needs a new coat of paint. it doesn't look as fresh as the inside, but honestly, it's a very minor point!

harbour view helpful staff excellent location room cleanliness

The room had a lovely harbour view. (It was a highlight of my mornings!) The staff were helpful, readily offering assistance. The location was excellent, a short walk to attractions. I appreciated the cleanliness of the room. It was well kept.

The exterior could use some maintenance to match the lovely interior.
