Warm welcome, decent sized room, nice view over the gardens. The room was basic (good sized TV though) but comfortable and importantly - clean. The shower was an experience - very powerful but plenty of hot water. Pool was a welcome extra - as was the very efficient steam room! The restaurant where we had our evening meal was good,... More

The dining room facilities were excellent as was the service and the breakfast was outstanding - great variety.

We were not expecting such a well presented hotel due to some previous reviews saying it was a bit tired or dated. We did not find this the case at all! All areas of the hotel were very well maintained. Our room was on the ground floor near to the swimming pool which we found convenient for our needs, our... More

This hotel seems to be under new management who are working hard to correct the inherited failings of the building. We were welcomed on arrival and shown to our room, not just pointed in the general direction. Our room (31) was on the ground floor, close to the swimming pool, but did not smell of chlorine. The room (standard) was... More

We have stayed with two others within the group Lord Haldon Exeter( a big disppointment ) and the Rembrandt in Weymouth( which was OK) But the Royal chase is a huge step up from either of those.

The hotel was better than expected, having paid a very small amount for the accommodation I was not expecting too much, however it turned out to be a quiet and comfortable stay in an old hotel. Perhaps in need of a makeover but still adequate. More
