“The Royal Castle truly captures the spirit of Dartmouth, its prime waterfront location making exploration effortless. I found the refurbished rooms to be a thoughtful blend of historic charm and modern comfort, and the consistently excellent poached eggs at breakfast are a testament to the kitchen's skill. It's a place where the character of the building is as much a draw as the hospitality, making it a property I'd readily revisit.”
