I was completely blown away by the beauty of this guest house. I saw pictures of the place on Tripadvisor and Google Maps, however when I arrived, the green nature fully hugging the property and the picturesque view of the river facing the breakfast yard and the window from my room, it was 100 times better in person. Ria the owner, and Veronica were always ready to help, just very lovely people. The cherry on top is their English Breakfast spread in the morning. I can't recommend this place enough. I will surely be back.

Had a great few days at Royston Hall. Fantastic, atmospheric place, very beautiful and peaceful surroundings, and friendly staff. There were just a few little things that could have made the stay even better. Things like the shower head was loose and wouldn't stay in the right place, there was no jam or or honey for the toast, I didn't know if walking/hiking in the forest was safe - to be top notch, guests shouldn't have to ask for or about these things - and the WiFi was ok but could be better. But these are minor things, and I would still highly recommend Royston Hall to anyone.

Had an enjoyable stay and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Towed a large trailer - parking area worked well for my needs; just the road to the property was a bit of challenge with the large trailer.

Gorgeous old hotel, very friendly greeting (by the host and her friendly doggos) Loved our stay, huge bed, delicious breakfast on the patio. I did mention the pillows were uncomfortable and she apologised and appreciated the feedback. We would love to go back for a bit longer and talk a walk around the forest.

Welcoming hosts, great location but this historical home is past its best and is in need of a bit of attention to bring it back to its former glory. The very friendly dogs are a fun addition to the mix.

This was our second stay at Royston Hall and once more it did not disappoint. The view is exquisite and we had a very restful weekend on the property, bird watching, swimming, exploring the property and enjoying the company of the dogs, which is exactly what we wanted and needed. The breakfasts were delicious and incredibly well presented... just gorgeous! Thank you for another memorable stay at a very interesting home.

This was indeed a great getaway find! A one night stay on our way to a weekend away. Such a beautiful old family home steeped in history. The room was amazing and the breakfast was presented so beautifully with a lot of attention to detail. Oh and the views are fantastic. Who knew this gem was down the road!
