With a magnificent location, looking out over the harbor and the River Dart, right in the heart of Dartmouth, this 17th-century building offers bright, airy rooms, free Wi-Fi and a stylish restaurant.

Privately owned, the award-winning Royal Castle Hotel has a great location, in the center of the pretty town of Dartmouth, with its cobbled streets, intriguing shops and world-famous restaurants and bars.

Rooms are en suite, and all of them are unique and individually decorated. Many of the rooms have river views, four-poster beds and spa baths. Every room has a TV, radio and tea/coffee making facilities.

With wonderful views out over the river, The Grill Room is the hotel’s stylish and relaxed restaurant. The restaurant offers delicious food made from the best, freshest produce available locally.

The hotel also has 2 bars: the contemporary Harbor bar and the more traditional Galleon bar. Both bars have real open log fires burning in the winter.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.7 for a two-person trip.
