The Royal Duchy Hotel is one of the Brend collection and, despite being on Cliff Road, is situated right on the sea front at ground level. The Brend group were winners of the AA Small Hotel Group of the Year for 2025/26. A well appointed hotel which is at the upper end of a 4 star rating. With 45 rooms and a dining area for up to 120 guests. We had a sea facing room on the second floor (216). It had good quality furnishing, and a bath plus separate shower cubicle. More room and general features are described on their website. The staff were very good and appeared to actually enjoy being of service to their guests. Jesse & Frankie – take a bow! For me, an important part of staying in a hotel is the quality of its cuisine. Superb! A small choice menu but beautifully cooked and presented to table. I would strongly recommend a stay at the Royal Duchy.
