The Royal Hotel

One of The Royal Hotel's most famous features is the oak panelled Kingsley Room, very much appreciated, with its ornate sculptured ceiling, named in honour of Charles Kingsley who penned much of his famous novel, Westward Ho!, at The Royal Hotel. Set at the Eastern end of ancient Bideford Bridge, valued throughout, this hotel is associated with the 17th-century Court of Assize, Sir Charles Kingsley, and the D-Day Landings; ideal for a heritage enthusiast. The village of Clovelly is only a short drive away and walking and cycling enthusiasts can explore the picturesque Tarka Trail. Known as the Little White Town, and above all, Bideford has the benefit of easy access to the sights of North Devon to the East, and Cornwall to the West.
