The Wessex Royale Hotel is a delightful Georgian building, built in 1756 following a similar design to that of John Wood's Royal Crescent in Bath. As you would expect this classical Georgian building has a Grand Staircase, panelling and fireplaces in abundance.
The Hotel has a superb lounge with an open fire where guests can relax with a drink from the bar.
Our á la carte, award winning restaurant is open from 6.30pm each evening.
The Wessex Royale offers two spacious air conditioned conference rooms. The Williams Barnes Room seats 100 Theatre Style, 40 U-Shaped or 40 Boardroom Style whilst The Regency Room seats 40 Theatre Style, 20 U-Shaped or 20 Boardroom Style. If the William Barnes room is not in use on the day of your booking we will automatically upgrade you to the William Barnes Room.
