This venue is also a campsite and activity centre. The accommodation was comfortable and the afternoon tea superb. Although out of their normal season, which is summer, the hosts were very friendly and obliging.

The Royal Lodge is a lovely little hotel right by the river and hills surrounding it, lush area, friendly staff and the Afternoon Tea was the best I've ever had! Room was a good size for the price and we had river views, very pleasantly surprised. Only gripe would be the parking cost as it comes at a premium in that area, £7 per day!
I would have given 5 stars for everything but Activity Superstore somehow messed up in their communication with the hotel, it was only by chance when I called Royal Lodge they couldn't find my booking in their system, so frantically I had to rejig the dates and it was lucky we could still make it, this is not good considering Activity Superstore confirmed the booking to me...! Other than that I thought it was great value and would definitely do such a voucher stay again!

Exception comfort regarding the bedding. Lots of trinkets and paintings to occupy your mind and eclectic styles to suit everyone. Food was outstanding and cleanliness was good. Location is great too.

Bought as a birthday gift for myself and my husband. The Downe Arms was lovely; afternoon tea was fabulous. Communication was excellent and the staff very friendly. No hassle booking, would definitely recommend.

When I arrived the check in system was down. The afternoon tea was so disappointing, a few finger sandwiches, 2 small pieces of swiss roll, Mr Kipling cake & something else. The scones were very nice. This was nothing like the picture on their website. Dinner was a disaster, had to wait 40 minutes for my starter which was late, my main course was burnt & overcooked, it was only chicken and pesto pasta. The breakfast was unbelievable, buffet in another room and cold. That evening had gone to the pub 5 minutes away for dinner. Breakfast the next day, was a massive improvement, it was hot and cooked when ordered. I got the impression they were very short staffed, never saw the manager. Their was one member of staff that was very helpful and seemed to be doing everything. My room was nice. Wouldn't stay their again.

It was very difficult to get a parking space in the car park although the cost was £15 per night.
The shower in the room did not work. The plug for the bath was hanging on. We could not open the window as it was locked and the handle was falling off.
Breakfast was satisfactory and staff friendly.
We hardly spent any time in the hotel so could not comment on any facilities.

The room we were given was barely big enough for two people, no room for our dog's bed,and we had to paid £20.00 per night for her, she had to sleep on our bed, and eat and drink in the bathroom No drawers, no wardrobe a few hooks on the wall, there was some shelving in the bathroom which was a good size, we honestly felt because this was an "Activity" booking, we were just shoved in this unacceptable room.I wanted to leave just after we booked in, but my husband convinced me to stay. Staff very nice, food Ok
