About your stay
We’ve put together answers to some of the most common questions to help you quickly find the information you need.
All our bedrooms are located on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th floor and can only be accessed by stairs, so may not be suitable for guests with reduced mobility. If you would like to book a room please give us a call, we would be happy to advise.
We have 3 family rooms available, each with a king size bed and a sofa which can be turned into a bed.
Some of our rooms are large enough to accommodate a cot which are available to hire. Please call us to book to ensure you are allocated a room which is large enough.
Additional occupants aged 3+ years are charged 25% of the double room rate.
Breakfast is served every morning from 8am until 10am and is included as part of your room rate.
You can order from our breakfast menu, or please help yourself to our continental selection.
The main bar and restaurant also offer lunch and dinner. The team will be happy to reserve a table for you, just let them know. Explore our full menu:
Check-in is from 3pm. We ask guests to check out by 11am on the day of departure.
There is WiFi available throughout the Royal Castle. Simply complete our sign-in form and you’ll have access to the internet.
Please note, this is not suited to extensive streaming or heavy downloads/uploads.
We permit dogs in a select number of our rooms. If you are planning to bring a dog, you must ensure that a Dog-Friendly Room has been booked prior to arrival.
Dog charges are £20 per dog, per stay. This charge is not included in the room rate and will be added as an additional cost on top of the accommodation rate.
Our hotel bedrooms and most public areas are pet friendly. However, as we do accommodate dogs on site, guests with allergies or sensitivities are strongly advised to notify the hotel directly in advance of arrival. While we cannot guarantee an allergen-free environment, we will always endeavour to meet individual requirements where possible.
Dogs are permitted in most areas of the hotel. Please speak to the team on check-in for full details. We politely request that dogs are kept on leads at all times in public areas and are not left unattended in bedrooms during your stay.
We ask that dogs are not left on their own in the rooms. Your dog is allowed with you in all areas of the Royal Castle.
Included in this additional rate you will find our ‘Proper Dog’ hamper complete with tennis ball, Forthglade treats, biodegradable poo-bags and Proper Job beer for you to take away with you.
All our rooms are complete with luxury toiletries, tea and coffee-making facilities, free WiFi and a hairdryer.
Please note, air conditioning is only available in select rooms.
Unfortunately, due to our prominent position, we don’t have a car park at the Royal Castle, but you are able to stop outside the front of the property to unload and check in. There is a car park close by, but the spaces are generally used for short stays during the high season.
Alternatively, there are two car parks in Dartmouth – Mayors Avenue (TQ6 9LW) and Dartmouth Castle (TQ6 9NF) which charge £3 for overnight stays. During the summer season, the best option is to use Dartmouth’s park and ride which is located at the top of the town.
We do not have any EV charge points but click the link below to find out more information about the closest charging facilities.
If you have booked through a third-party travel agent please refer to the agent’s specific cancellation terms. We do not pay commission on reservations to third parties without a prior formal agreement.

Great job repairing and redecorating this hotel – comfort and stylish place to stay in an ideal location. Staff were friendly. Rooms clean and food was prepared and presented well. I enjoyed celebrating a special occasion here.

Lovely venue and dinner
We had dinner in the dinning room, beautiful room with lovely views of the harbour. The menu was simple but nice. The fish and chips in particular were a favorite. Will be coming back.

Lovely hotel
The staff at this hotel are so friendly and helpful. We were looked after from check in to check out. Our dog was looked after with bowls, treats poo bags and a tennis ball all waiting in the room and a sausage for his breakfast as we had ours. The food was great, both breakfast and the evenings we ate in the restaurant. As the building is listed there is no lift so rooms in double figures are 4 flights up.

Great place to stay and eat
The Royal Castle Hotel is a very friendly and inviting place to stay and eat. Everyone is so friendly and you feel like they really care about you as individuals. The service is excellent both when dinning and also when they make up your room each day. Would always stay here when in Dartmouth.
