Built in 1820, the original coaching house was known as the 'New' or 'Low Grey Bull', eventually to become 'The Royal Hotel' in around 1870. The new owners took over in early 2008 with a vision to restore The Royal Hotel to its former glory. with the introduction of an exclusive Thai restaurant the Thai Royal Orchid.
