What guests think

Across the reviews, The Royal Station Hotel stands out for genuinely friendly, helpful staff, clean and comfortable rooms, and a convenient location by the train station and town amenities, making it a practical base for short breaks and touring.

Food is widely praised, breakfasts are strong, and the bar offers a welcoming atmosphere with occasional live entertainment plus pleasant outdoor spaces such as a courtyard and rooftop terrace. A recurring drawback is the lack of on-site parking, with reliance on nearby station or street spaces; Wi‑Fi can be patchy, and a few rooms face heat, noise, or lighting issues. Overall, expect a friendly, characterful stay with good value for exploring the area.

We spent two nights here as a family of four and really enjoyed it. The room was lovely and clear and plenty of space for us all. We did not try the food so cannot comment but did experience the roof top terrace for a drink which was fabulous. Would recommend to anyone needing accommodation in the area.

Met my requirements. However the hotel doesn’t have its own car park as suggested when it requests your licence number. You park in the street or pay at the nearby station. The hotel is dated but very tidy and the restaurants are good. Staff are very good. Dinner and breakfast both excellent.

This is a disgusting hell hole that is to be avoided. I can only imagine that the positive reviews on here are from staff or friends and family of the owners. We arrived having booked their best room. We opened the door to be met with a very heavy musty / mouldy smell. I opened the french windows to the "sun terrace" - itself covered in mud and leaves and next to an extractor fan from the kitchen- in the hope of letting some of the smell out. I sat on the bed to find it so creaky and rickety it was clearly not safe - and nobody could ever sleep on it as it was. I opened the bathroom door and was met with an even stronger smell of damp and mould. I went to reception and they agreed to try to change our room. We went out. 2 hours later we came back, were given keys to the new room and went up to find it was a typical builders room in a builders hotel. Tiny, red hot, worn carpet, tiny bed and a massive puddle on the bathroom floor from the leaking radiator. Disgraceful. I went to reception and said we weren't staying and requested a refund. They said Hotels.com would have to do the refund. Hotels.com tried to contact the hotel - they ignored them - so I haven't got my money back. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE

Lovely clean room in a historical building. It's creaky and quaint. The bed was rather high but a step was provided on one side. The cleaner used in the bathroom was quite overwhelming with fragrance. Awesome shower though!! Additional breakfast was nice. Be aware that although there is parking it is NOT dedicated parking and you either have to find a spot on the surrounding streets or pay to park at the train depot which is reasonable for cost but expired at midnight and you have to renew the fee.

A really nice hotel, in a great location in a lovely town. Lots of useful shops on your doorstep and as it's name implies next to the railway station. Our room was comfortable having had a recent makeover including the ensuite. All good. You can tell the owners were working hard to make their business a great place to spend some time. The only downside was the connecting door to the next room. There appeared to be no sound insulation to them (2x modern, lightweight, honeycombed 'cardboard' ones?) so you could hear everything our neighbours were talking about. Great if you need to hear what your children are up to, but not so with strangers. Solid doors lined with noise reducing plasterboard on the blind side might be an inexpensive solution and worth the effort.

Our room had a street light right next to the window and was like Blackpool illuminations! They’re fittings for a blind so assuming that there was one at some point. Very little sleep so avoid room 15. The room was small but that didn’t bother so much as we were only there for a stopover night. The restaurant was closed due to ALL kitchen staff being on holiday and breakfast costs £12 making it comparable rate with other places we stayed that were far far better. My advice would be to check your room for street lighting’

It’s an old building, so the floor creaks. But it’s been well renovated. Nice little touches we especially like: big mugs, plenty of tea bags and milk sachets, good food in either a bustling family bar or a quiet restaurant, friendly efficient staff.

The hotel was full of character, neat and clean and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. The food in the restaurant was of an extremely high standard. The only downside we found was that the television and internet were not working properly while we were there although we understood that this was due to circumstances beyond their control. However, this was a minor inconvenience when set against all the positives we found.

Excellent service from start to finish by everyone at the hotel. Glen literally went the extra mile, collecting some of our family members from the wedding reception at midnight as they struggled to get a taxi! Only slight negative was the single room i was in. A bit tight for space,even for a single. Comfortable enough though for 2 nights. Good supply of tea, coffee, bottle water. Iron and board supplied when requested. We all ate in the restaurant, good food, well presented and served by friendly helpful staff on a very busy night. Really us all enjoy a lovely family get together to attend my granddaughters wedding. Thank you to Glen and your team. 😊
