The Royal Hotel Bideford has a convenient central location in the charming North Devon town of Bideford. It serves as a bookend to the historic Bideford Bridge, which spans the river and connects the two sides of the town. The Royal Hotel has been involved in the region’s heritage for centuries. It is famously associated with the 17th century Court of Assize. The building was used by Sir Charles Kingsley as an inspirational retreat when he penned his seminal work ‘Westward Ho!’. The hotel also played an important role during the planning and execution of the D-Day landings in 1944.

Today, the Royal Hotel Bideford is the premier luxury hotel in this sleepy, picturesque Devon town, and makes a splendid base from which to take in the many delights that this popular part of the country has to offer. With glorious rolling countryside, beautiful sandy beaches and an array of great family days out on offer, North Devon is a deservedly popular tourist destination. The Royal makes an excellent choice for those wishing to explore the region and who also appreciate a little luxury and refinement in their life.

There are 32 rooms and suites at the Royal Bideford Hotel, all of which are furnished to a high standard and beautifully presented within a splendid heritage setting. The restaurant at this Barnstaple hotel is also an impressive feature, and makes an elegant setting in which to enjoy beautifully prepared cuisine. Service is attentive and friendly, and afterwards diners may retire to the comfortable lounge bar for a quiet drink. The hotel has a wealth of experience in conference and events, and offers customers comprehensive facilities.

There are no leisure facilities at the hotel, but the entirety of North Devon is there to be explored from the minute guests step outside the hotel. There are also numerous golf clubs within easy reach of the hotel. Of particular note is the Royal North Devon Golf Club, at Westward Ho! It is reputedly one of the oldest clubs in Britain, with a challenging links course and an interesting history. It is only a few minutes’ drive away from the Royal Hotel Bideford. Guests can also use the leisure facilities of the venue’s neighbouring sister venue, the Barnstaple Hotel.
