Boutique Hotel Royal
"Hotel Royal is a lovely mixture of old and new. Our room was huge and comfortable, but beware the corner rooms can get a lot of noise from pub visitors, cars, and church bells. The bathroom was also huge and had a nice variety of amenities, although I would’ve liked a washcloth or make up removers. ..."
