I've had tea at the Royal on several occasions, and especially on a Sunday it is very good. Yesterday I was there again, at a party for our 95-year-old friend, and it was excellent. …

I have been for afternoon tea at many very posh hotels but the scones, meringues and particularly the shortbread was first class. The staff were very attentive and the whole experience was lovely. I felt that they pulled out all the stops to ensure we all had a memorable afternoon.

Came for a high tea. Kids ordered lasagne, although it looked more like bolognase with cheese over or, rather than lasagne. Kids chicken nuggets was a food portion and my son liked it. …

My husband was lucky enough to win Friday Freebie Competition. We were there 15/6 for the meal. A most enjoyable meal with very welcoming and friendly service.|This was a rearranged meal as we had to cancel due to illness and owners were very accomodating to us.

Think Fawlty towers but in a good way. The beds were great, the showers were fine. We had a great breakfast that was included and dinner the night before was worth the money. We loved the hosts and would happily stay there again.

I spent 2 weeks at the Royal Hotel with Catherine & Alan in October 2015. If you want a real family Scottish hotel this is the place for you. The staff are friendly, welcoming and make you feel right at home. The rooms are toasty warm, clean & comfortable, while still being affordably priced. The food is also affordably priced but is wonderful. It has many traditional Scottish dishes, food is available in one meal session or another virtually anytime, and Allan is a fabulous cook. The buses stop right out the front of the hotel frequently & you’re in Edinburgh before you know it. Dysart is a lovely, scenic, quiet little fishing village that’s lovely in summer. I’ll definitely be returning to the Royal if I find myself in the area again!

If could give 0 ⭐️ they would get it.Avoid this place, the advertisement is totally different of the reality. I stayed only one night but was a bad experience, the staff is impolite and untrustworthy at least the line looked clean but the mattress was so uncomfortable. Too much expensive for a horrible place, nothing of royal 👎👎👎

Avoid this place like the plague, I don’t know who’s writing some of these reviews, maybe they pay friends to do it, believe me, it’s absolutely rotten, run down and smells, I wouldn’t let my dog stay here as it’s absolutely disgusting and should be closed down. The sad thing is I don’t think the owners realise. I went for breakfast and noticed mold on the toast so just up and left, had booked for 5 nights as I was working up there last week but left after 1 day and checked in elsewhere.
