I want to extend a massive thank you to everyone at the Royal Hotel who made our stay this weekend so perfect. Two of my best friends got married in the village yesterday. 10 of us stayed in the hotel for the weekend and we had the reception there on Saturday night. The bistro was perfect for dinner and a proper dance, the food all weekend was excellent. But best of all the staff were so incredibly helpful every step of the way: helping us unload cars and decorate the hall, carrying bits to and from the wedding venue, umbrella lending(!), keeping us supplied with champagne (and coffee), and giving us so many hints and tips about things in the village. We cannot thank you enough and would highly recommend the Royal Hotel to anyone who asked.
A traditional hotel pub, friendly staff, in pretty Hayfield. Had a lovely light lunch, have to say it was the best roast beef muffin I have ever sampled. Good serving of tender roast beef, accompagnied with goood chips and a proper made from stock gravy, , best beef muffin ever. Would definitely stop by again.
Staying in or near Hayfield? It's well worth visiting the Royal Hotel, great food and lovely ales. Would highly recommend the Anti Pasti sharing platter for two, see if you can eat it all.
Fantastic location and fantastic staff! Got married here 9 years ago. And staff and service was amazing thouraly enjoyed our stay :)
Great service, good food and selection of ales and beers, sitting in the glorious sunshine out on the patio - what more can you ask for?
Great food and warm welcome. Good choice of food and well priced. Nice ales on tap.
Second time we have stayed bed and breakfast at 'The Royal', and again, we were not disappointed. Lovely, spotless rooms and beds sooo comfy. Delicious breakfast served by friendly staff. Thank you!
Warm and welcoming pub with friendly and down to earth staff. My wife and I went for a drink and a Sunday lunch after a snowy walk. The roaring fire was fantastic. Food is delicious and beautifully presented. My wife had roast pork and I had but roast. First time I’ve ever had a delicious nut roast. Made with fresh herbs. Really tasty, and all the veg were perfectly cooked. This pub is recommended. Thanks to all the friendly staff.
What a great place with lovely proprietors and staff. We had a really tasty lunch in a place with really good ambiance. We were checking it out because we have a family function booked in October for 32. They couldn't have been more helpful, fab function room and super menu. Can't recommend this lovely establishment enough, really looking forward to going back soon.
Great food, marvelous staff and great scenery, rare to find a place these days that serves Sherry. Very pleasent visit and a lovely Sunday roast dinner with some fabulous views of the hills.
Very enjoyable visit, give it a try, sure you won't be disappointed.
Enjoyed a drink and some home made soup here on Sunday after a lovely walk on Kinder Scout. It was happily busy, good atmosphere, a lovely log fire and excellent beer.
This place has a new chef and the food is really great now. We had a lovely roast by the roaring log fire and loved it. Best chocolate brownie I’ve had for a very long time too. Friendly, accommodating staff too who gave our slightly over enthusiastic dog lots of love.
Excellent service, friendly staff and the food was excellent. Only ate in the pub,, small menu. Would like to go back, stay as they do accommodation and I would like to try the restaurant.
I am writing this review because of the excellent customer service received.
We were staying at the local campsite and I emailed them to see if they were serving food as it can be hit and miss as we all know due to the pandemic.
I received a reply quickly.
Unfortunately due to staffing issues they weren't serving food that day but did tell me where we could go in the village for food. It was a Monday so not much was open. This turned out to be an excellent recommendation an I thought very good of them to do so considering.
We have eaten here at the Royal before and the food and service was excellent. We will definitely be eating here on our next visit.
Great little spot. Typically priced pints (3.85 for a pint of ale) and the outdoor area (as this was during restrictions) has a large tent like structure to keep you out of the rain and most of the wind. The staff were amazing, serving us quickly and politely with a good chat also! The main courses were slightly expensive but nothing untoward for a local pub, and the chips were excellent!
Great spot, highly recommend!
Checked in, fires burning down stairs. Large parking space to this once rectory, coach house, large bar, fire place, log burner. Room is fantastic. Leaving on Christmas Morning.
Lovely home made food. Reduced menu ATM . Fresh local veg and good pie. Excellent gravy. Wide range of real ales and helpful staff. Still busy for food at 3:30 on a Monday. Continental trade helped by stunning local views. Right next to the crystal clear river and floral memorial gardens. Big free carpark. Child friendly and great outside eating area. Good value menu.
Really nice staff and great service while we stayed. Daughter left behind her stuffed bunny and they even helped to post it back to us. Very thoughtful! Thank you!
Never been in here before but I'll definitely be going back,so warm so friendly and the food was lovely.highly recommend the Royal Hotel
Post walk lunch was very good. Reasonable menu with "small" portions of some meals like fish and chips which were still a good size. Nice coffee as well.
Only just got in to our room, which is spacious, clean and very comfortable. The staff , who we have met so far, are lovely, very accommodating. And welcoming.
Update by the end of our visit.
Good food and a fine selection of beers. Very hospitable staff and a very nice pub. I had a lovely pie, packed with chunky pieces of meat. Something for everyone on the menu.
A comfortable nights stay. Had a small issue with our evening meal which was quickly sorted. Good breakfast with proper sausage, could have been a bit hotter though. Food was tepid though still tasty.
