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.

The room was comfortable and clean and the food, both at breakfast and dinner, was great. However there is a main road outside and it's a bit loud if you are not used to it.

The royal had a lovely location the pub and dining area are well presented. The food was loevly and couldnt fault the staff. The rooms are clean just felt tired and a fresh coat of paint wouldn't go a miss but this certainly didn't spoil our stay.

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.
