Located in the heart of Dartmouth, The Royal Castle features 24 individually decorated en-suite rooms, including 11 with views of the River Dart. The hotel offers family rooms with double and single beds, as well as dog-friendly accommodations for an additional £15 per night. Guests can dine at the on-site Galleon Bar, which serves pub classics like burgers and sausage and mash, or enjoy breakfast options ranging from overnight oats to a full English. The Royal Castle is situated near landmarks such as Dartmouth Castle (1 km) and Bayard's Cove Fort (0.5 km), with Exeter International Airport 60 km away. Rooms include tea and coffee facilities, free Wi-Fi, and flat-screen TVs, though some rear-facing rooms may experience noise from a ventilation system.
Pros
The Galleon Bar features flagstone floors, beamed ceilings, and vintage armoury, offering a traditional pub atmosphere.
Dog-friendly accommodations and dining areas allow pets to stay with guests.
River-view rooms provide scenic outlooks over the River Dart.
Central location grants easy access to Dartmouth's cobbled streets, shops, and waterfront attractions.
Cons

No lift is available, and rooms are accessible only via stairs.
“The hotel's location, overlooking the inner harbour, is certainly a highlight; inside, the recent renovations and character create a cozy atmosphere. Friendly service, especially at breakfast, makes for a welcoming stay, and the dog-friendly policy is a genuine bonus. A solid choice in Dartmouth.”
