The Royal Hotel has been shortlisted as hotel of the year by Les Routiers, a travel guide specialising in British and French breaks.

Jonathan Cooke, the hotel’s general manager, said it was great boost for all its staff.

He said: “I’m over the moon about it because it epitomises what good we do. We try our best, to be the best.”

The Royal Hotel has received a certificate and is awaiting Les Routiers’ final decision.

The nomination comes off the back of positive comments from guests as well as an unannounced inspection from the travel firm.

Late Rooms has recently bestowed its Simply The Guest award on the hotel in South Parade too.
