Royal Beacon Hotel

Comfortable bed. Good location, internet access

Stayed with a friend via work. We had room 211. A twin. Arrived pretty much on 1500 at check in time. Staff were flat out and we were asked to wait 15 mins for our room to be ready. Not a problem. Wed have waited. But what was amazing was the offer of a drink whilst we waited. After travelling 4 hours, this was gratefully received. All staff we came across were superb, humorous and very friendly. The room Was spacious, clean and tidy. Tv a little small if you’re going to be in the room but we weren’t fussed by this as we were heading out for work drinks and food. Shower was amazing powerful and hot. Nice view from the Maggie bay window too. Bar was a good area with TVs if you wanted them. Good selection of drinks. Hotel very convenient for town and the sea front. We’ll be returning for sure. Thank you . Mr cantwell

The location was good for my mobility scooter, helpful / friendly staff & we had a courtyard groundfloor room. Twin room was rather small, but adequate. Full English Breakfast was excellent value & not greasy- waitng staff were good. Many thanks for our stay.

The staff at the hotel were a joy, nothing was too much trouble and always professional with a smile. I only had breakfast 1 morning but there was a good choice and service with a smile. The beds at the hotel were comfortable and towels plentiful and thick.

The staff were wonderful - they were so friendly and helpful whenever we needed them (even after we'd checked out!) - they're a real asset to the place!

Nice hotel ... needs a bit updating... staff amazing nothing too much trouble... car parking for no more than a few cars ... park on round for free ... 10 pound a night other than that with the hotel.. breakfast at a cost ... pre book with booking .. gets full quick .... nice town centre ... lovely beech in walking distance 10 mins tops .overall a quite place ...would return. Staff work hard ...

The staff here were fab and so friendly and helpful. The bed was really comfy but the hotel is tired. I imagine being an old building the upkeep must be huge! The bathroom definitely needed an upgrade and the windows need refurb/ replacement. We didn't eat here so I can't comment on the food. Having said this it wouldn't stop me staying here again. The hotel is in a good central location.

Unwelcomed upgrade that was never wanted or asked for. Rooms are very tired. Terribly noisy family upstairs from 0500 toddler literally tap dancing on paper thin ceiling Requested courtyard room for quietness

When we first arrived, we were not even greeted by the two women at reception. Finally, a nice man who appeared to be the caretaker, greeted us and helped us check in, despite one of the two women disagreeing with him whether the room was ready or not. He walked us through the main building, which was old, dirty and very musty, to the second building that you get to through an alley of sorts. The room was a decent size and cleanish and did not smell musty, though there was mold in the window. There clearly had not been a deep clean in years. They provided lots if towels and pillows, but the pillows were awful, flat and no support. It was a quick walk to town and the beach. A safety concern: Access to the second building was from a main level door that was left open and unlocked, even at night, so anyone walking down the adjoining alley could gain access.

This is not an hotel. Restaurant has been closed for over three years, therefore it is a large b&b. Only offers breakfast No other food available. Not suitable for anyone with any disability. An open staircase at floor level on ground floor is very dangerous to children or elderly. Only has 7 parking spaces, which must be booked and 'free' parking on road is rarely available. Bar facilities are very limited. Awful place!
