The “Royal Hotel” is conducted by Mr. and Mrs. Hibbert, and the “Castle
Hotel” by Mr. and Mrs. Mc Vittie. At these hotels there is every comfort
and convenience, whether for the invalid in hopes of renovated health, or
the tourist delighting in creature comforts. They are replete with every
requisite for the accommodation of visitors, and afford every inducement
to persons desirous, by quietness, to enjoy a relaxation from the cares
of business and the bustle of populous districts. Cleanliness, prompt
attention, combined with moderate charges, are the characteristics of
these establishments, and render them pleasant places for a short stay.
The Royal Hotel, which is contiguous to the Station, has undergone
thorough alteration, and every care has been taken to adopt all modern
improvements, with a view of securing to travellers and families every
accommodation which a first-class hotel can afford. It is fitted up in a
style of elegance which renders it one of the most complete
establishments of the kind in the kingdom, and in every way suited for
visitors of the highest grade of society; it is fit to accommodate
Royalty itself, and we opine the day is not far distant when it will be
honoured with such illustrious guests. It is presided over by Mrs.
Hibbert, late of Wolverton Station, whose unwearied exertions are
employed to secure her inmates, as far as possible, all that can be
desired. Here are hot, cold, and shower baths; carriages, cars,
post-horses, &c. Omnibuses to and from the Railway Station and
Steam-packets, for the convenience of parties frequenting this hotel,
_gratis_.
