Harbour Bar

Thank you so much for making my Mum feel just that little bit extra special during our two-night visit with you this week. I brought her down to Dartmouth for a couple of days to celebrate her 80th birthday and she had the most amazing time. Her first time at Dartmouth and I wanted her to experience what a special place it is. Your lovely hotel did not disappoint with amazing and friendly service and delicious Sunday roast and amazing breakfasts. I cannot fault the hotel at all. Our room was spotlessly clean. It is a beautiful 500-year-old building and overlooking the river at first light and last thing before dark was just so special and something I know will be a memory my Mum will treasure. And we saw the resident seal! I would highly recommend staying here and I will certainly be staying here again one day soon. We love Dartmouth. Thank you! x

It was our first trip to Dartmouth for my wife and I. What a great meal and venue the staff were brilliant and very accommodating. The steak was the best I've had from a pub restaurant ( better than some steal house the squid was lively and my wife enjoyed her meal too. Proper classy pub. Wouldn't dream of eating else where when we return to Dartmouth. Thank you.

Been to Dartmouth on holiday and visiting the Royal Castle was such a treat! The staff are some of the friendliest we have experienced for a while. They can’t do enough for you and seem genuinely interested in engaging with customers. To top it all off, lovely oldie worldie surroundings which are super cosy and food was absolutely delicious! I highly recommend the trio of fish but would have it with a side of bread to soak up all the lovely sauce!

Having visited the Royal Castle since 1982 and under Nigels supervision until recently you could say the RC has lost some of its charm. Saying that the food is still good and it is a historic and quaint resturant. We booked a table and when we walked in no one greeted us, but we found out table and sat down. I found that you now order at the bar which is no problem. The barmaid got one of the two drinks wrong but we didn't mention it, we had the gammon and a burger to eat which were delicious. We did have to ask for cutlery to eat it though. On the whole a lovely evening but perhaps more training for the staff, it was a busy night with a "murder mystery " evening upstairs and when we heard the cheer we believe they found who did it :-) . We would highly recommend a visit, if you want food we recommend booking on line as they turned alot of people away.

We visit Dartmouth every year and we always choose Royal Castle for our meals. As always their food was amazing! We had the fish and chips and the tagliatelle and were both very tasty. Lina and the rest of the team were as always very welcoming and helpful. It’s so good to see familiar faces still working for the Royal Castle! We noticed there’s a new management and the place looks like it’s running as it used to do before, with both bars and the restaurant upstairs opened. Royal Castle is our favourite place in Dartmouth! Thank you all and see you next year xx

Meals were excellent, service was excellent and we had a really good time. Unfortunately, all the deserts ordered were awful. Peanut cheesecake had no sweetness and the texture of a protein bar and the churos were anaemic and inedible. Shame as everything else was superb. We still had a lovely evening.

We were recommended to eat here by our air b&b host, and it didn't disappoint! The food was absolutely delicious, portions were so generous and the staff were really friendly and accommodating. We ended up eating here both nights of our stay! Great vegan options too! (Which seemed rare to find in Dartmouth). Highly recommend!
