Royal Standard House Reviews

John
Loads of room, even for a large party, everything you need if you plan to cook, stairs if youre getting on a bit might be an issue, otherwise excellent.
Valerie
Lovely spacious, well equipped accommodation well placed for beach
Claire
Very well equipped and situated holiday house,will be returning.
Amy
The tumble dryer wasnt working properly, there was no door handle on the inside of one of the bedrooms so a risk of being shut in. It had been placed in a drawer but needs mending. Also the hot tub was very low on water and quite murky. Finally, we had been left with no tea towels or any toilet paper at all on arrival.
Martin
What a fantastic holiday home which was like a tardis, with so much room for all of our guests. Even a friend of ours, who has a beach hut nearby, was amazed at the size, and quality of the house. We are also pleased, as my mum left behind a hearing aid that was returned without fuss.
Roger
wow what can I say about Royal Standard House, it was fantastic we loved everything about it - so clean, lovely big rooms, comfortable beds, kitchen equipment and so pet friendly, a lovely friendly village. Everything we needed was there, i will definitely recommend to my friends and hopefully we will book again next year
Melanie
We really enjoyed staying at Royal Standard House. It was very comfortable and welcoming with lovely decor in a perfect location. We had all the facilities and equipment we needed.

I requested bedroom 3 to be set up as two single beds rather than one double, and my request was acknowledged in your email dated 7th February. However, this had not been done when we arrived. The two adults who had planned to occupy bedroom 3 on the first floor (one of whom has Parkinsons Disease with reduced mobility so climbing stairs is difficRead moreult) had to use the loft bedroom up another flight of stairs and use a small single child's bed. I was disappointed that the confirmed arrangements had not been actioned. Hide
