The Royal at Dockray

Great stay ... The Royal is a great getaway and the staff are very pleasant, this is our second time staying and won’t be our last ....

Lovely overnight stop, room was comfortable, large en-suite and good shower. Food was delicious we ate in the evening and breakfast. The evening meals were homemade, delicious and very generous portions. We had a great evenNing. Right on the doorstep of Ullswater

Staff all great and friendly but room was very tired, comfy beds and nice shower but decor tired.

Had the tiniest room above the entrance To the bar. Room had everything for our comfort Bathroom super( wonderful shower and Shampoo products. Because the room was so small it was Too hot. Even though we turned off the rsdiators. Perfect if it had been a very cold night. Only critic! Breakfast unbelievable.brilliant choice. Will be back! Loved it

Had a pleasant stay, and the location is great. The staff were very helpful, and the room was ok, if a little dated. The surfaces were in need of a proper wipe, as there was a couple of sticky bits on then. Shower room was quite compact. All in all, not bad.

If you want to stay away from the busy, dirty, and bad city life few days you should see this place.

We booked two separate rooms

Not the best room dark and dated decor. Dim lighting as well - not enough light to read by. TV signal very poor we gave up trying to get a clear picture. On the night we stayed there were not enough staff. One girl trying to do everything. Lovely location. Interesting art work.

The hotel was placed in a good location, it allowed dogs which was a bonus. The rooms were a little tired however, worn out carpets, lifted floor in the bathroom etc. It's an old building, but the floor boards were very noisy. The food was mixed quality. The outdoor area was very nice, great for dogs, off the lead was fine (although they could get to the road quickly if allowed) We used this as a half way point for driving to scotland and it was fine.

A nice little place to stay. We stayed for two nights, the staff were very friendly and helpful, the food was amazing, the location was great and we enjoyed our stay. The place was let down a little as it could do with some tlc, a lick of paint and some upgrades in the rooms. This would make it even better. We would still go back as the staff couldn't have been any more accommodating and it was a great place to stay. The food really was excellent, the chef did himself proud with a large party of guests. Definitely worth considering if you're looking for somewhere reasonably priced.
