Royal - Scone

Eat bar service fantastic but the accommodation (1 double bed 1 single bed) was very cramped plus the communal shower wc, in my opinion, let the pub down.

The best nights sleep I had during on the road in a long time in the rooms from the back, friendly bar staff and beautiful mood over the place

While this looks like a lovely place, the atmosphere is a mix of lonesome and smug. Arrived just after 5pm with my husband and children and when enquiring about the bistro for dinner was met with a very rude response. Wad told it 's way too early for dinner, it 's practically lunch time . There were very few patrons and it smelt of smoke. We would have waited for dinner if we had been told dinner was at 5:30pm, but I stead we went to scone for dinner.Being so rude to travellers is how small country towns lose their reputations and their customers.Not a recommendation in my opinion

Biggest disappointment of our trip to Scone. I’m pretty sure it isn’t legal to advertise a meal at a certain price but then try to charge you ALMOST DOUBLE! When we questioned this we were told that it’s that price in the computer, but not on the menu, outrageous. We changed our order and then had to wait almost 40 minutes for it to be served, whilst edible, it was far from good value. Wouldn’t recommend the bistro.

We booked in for two nights at a cost of $98 per night. There was no milk in the fridge for tea. We had no coat hangers. We understood that breakfast was included but there was nobody in the restaurant and nobody at reception. The young man in the bar couldn't tell us anything about breakfast. We let the phone ring for 15 minutes and there was no response. Pretty shocking service all round. The trains are very close and run about every half an hour all night and whistle as they go through the town..
