Absolute little gem of a property. The staff were warm and welcoming and nothing was too much for them. The cottage was clean and perfect for what we needed. We ate dinner at the pub and the food was delicious with very generous portions. The steak was cooked to perfection and again the staff were delightful. After a good nights rest we were treated to a delicious cooked full English with the best sausages we’ve ever tasted. 100% fantastic and we would certainly love to visit again.

Loved the old 17th century beams in the rooms and the uneven floors. Property was very quiet - even with the Football World Cup semi-final on while we were there. Staff were all incredibly helpful and loved the breakfast. 100% recommend and would love to take my dog next time as they are very dog friendly (they get a sausage at breakfast!).

we were give a free upgrade to room 5 which has access to a raised garden area with seating . good size bedroom and bathroom with spacious shower.good breakfast and nice menu for evening meal .

A very atmospheric pub/hotel. We were lucky to get a large spacious room and our bed was very comfortable and quiet. The breakfast was very good and the staff very friendly and helpful. If we pass this way again, we'd certainly make another booking.

Great overnight stay in this old inn. Lovely staff, food, room and amenities. Great value too.

I made the booking for my Brother in Law and his son. They were very late arriving because of road closures in North Yorkshire, but the hotel owners were very accommodating. They said they would definitely stay again.

This is a really cute, 400 (ish) year old pub. The location is great as well. We asked for a vegan breakfast is it was no problem, and it was tasty. My only issue is less likely to be a problem for most people, but as someone with mobility issues, the very uneven floors led to a lot of tripping. My husband had no issues at all. Overall, I would recommend this hotel.

The staff were very obliging to us and our dog. The room opened on to the rear garden which was ideal. Just how you'd like a pub to be.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The pub and rooms were lacking attention to detail re maintenance and cleanliness. The breakfast was acceptable.

Parking was easy being right outside the property. A lovely lady called us to check our arrival time as we had booked an evening meal and the last order time was 8pm and she didn't want us to miss out. We had a lovely evening meal, with it being their weekly Pie night it really hit the spot after a long journey! Our room was very spacious and extremely comfortable too. There were lots breakfast options and what we both had was delicious. We will definitely return as this place is a real gem. And being centrally located for visiting family, the Yorkshire dales and the Lake District the location is perfect.

Attentive staff, great food. Nit clear what to do for early check out.

Cosy , perfect staff and really wholesome food

We really enjoyed our stay at the Royal Oak. The room was basic, but clean and adequate. The bed was comfortable. We ate dinner there as well and it was delicious. The breakfast was good. My husband got the full English and I got scrambled eggs and bacon. The scrambled eggs seemed to be the rehydrated kind, but otherwise the meal was good. We would stay here again.

Stayed in a premium garden room. Lovely comfortable bed and pillows, fresh decor and plenty of coffee and tea supplies.

The whole hotel was spotless, everyone was so kind, nothing was a problem, a special shout out to Sarah, she was always on hand, friendly and happy to help, it makes a big difference to a happy stay. Food was good and hot, room was warm and bed was fab with proper pillows, not the small hard rocks that other hotel favour! This is our second stay and it is a great base to explore the lakes from. Highly recommended.

We booked a Premier room which was lovely and spacious.

Yes Great

This is an amazing pub! Lovely staff who are friendly and helpful. The food is outstanding with some great specials. There is always a buzz. We had one meal here that was so good a week later when I had to return I spent the whole week here! Highly Recommend
