The Royal Castle Hotel
The author Coxe states in 'Haunted Britain' that this hotel is included on the British Tourist Authority’s “reputed to be haunted” list. He does not give any other details, but further enquiries revealed that the hotel was built in 1693 and is said to be haunted by the ghost of Princess Mary, the wife of William III.
A second female ghost is said to haunt the building, but the identity of this apparition is, as yet, unknown. The sounds of horses and carriage have been reported around 2am during the autumn months.
