The Royal Hotel :-
Standing at the eastern end of the ancient Bideford Bridge, the Royal Hotel is steeped in history. Associated variously with the 17th Century Court of Assize, the D Day landings and Sir Charles Kingsley, who wrote much of his novel Westward Ho! at the hotel, the Royal is a must for any heritage enthusiast and offers a way to combine the charm of the past with the conveniences of a modern hotel.
