THE ROYAL CASTLE HOTEL ^{* * *}

Superbly positioned in the center of Dartmouth and facing the little harbor, The Royal Castle Hotel systematically catches the eye of passers-by who dream of staying there, thanks to its magnificent ^17th-century façade. Inside, wood panelling and stone flagstones set the tone, and the friendly staff ensure efficient service. Room decor subtly blends modernity and heritage, and most rooms overlook the harbor directly. A chic, comfortable option for a distinguished stay. The hotel's restaurant is also well worth a visit. A very fine address.
