The Royal Castle Hotel

A 17th-century quayside hotel with 24 en-suite rooms above a working pub and dining room, owned by St Austell Brewery. Selected rooms are dog friendly and dogs are welcome in the bar downstairs, so you can eat and drink with your dog without leaving the building. River Dart views from some rooms; town centre location with the waterfront directly outside.
