ROYAL HOTEL, LOWESTOFT.
The Proprietor of this Hotel has milich pleaqire in informing
his Friends and the Public Vow. during the winter he has provided
estensive suites of bedrooms, in addition to the wing constructed last
summer; this wil prevent a recurrence of those disappointments
which so frequently took placa from his Ina ility to accommodate
hie friends in the past year. It is his intention to persevere in that
course which has already given such general satisfaction, Tiz., to
combine the hest wines, Viands, Attendance, and Cleanliness, with
Moderate Charges.
The to übrity of Lowestoft, the excellent bathing, and beauty of
its neighbourhood, for riding and walking, are too well known to
require comment. S. HOWETT has only, therefore, in conclusion,
io call agent on to the easiness of access and lowness of fares from
the pi ices, a list of which is subjoined,. and to express his hope that
he will continue to experience that liberal support with which he
has already been favoured.
Every Wednesday and Saturday, on
