The staff were friendly and welcoming, which was a highlight of the stay. However, the property itself feels tired, with rooms in need of a refresh. I have fond memories of visiting Penny Royal as a child and used to love coming here, but unfortunately it doesn’t feel like much has been done over time to maintain or update the property. With some investment in refurbishment, it could better reflect the charm and nostalgia it’s known for.

Great location with very handy parking. Bathroom is tiny but room reasonably generous. Our stay was spoiled somewhat by there being no noise insulation between us and the room next door through the interconnecting door. We shared tv from 7 am and snoring at night.
