The hotel is absolutely lovely. The staff are all very kind and helpful. The included breakfast was absolutely delicious with many different offerings. Our room has enough space to sleep 4 and the en suite is just perfect. Waking up to the sun rising over the cliffs outside our window just sets you up for a fabulous day. Highly recommend!!

Fantastic. This B&B is exceptionally good for families with children. The hosts are kind. The property is quiet and meticulously cared for. There is a games room and a big selection of toys and games. There are good breakfast options for children. We have never been to a B&B in the UK that was as welcoming to families with children as the Royson.
