Gorgeous hotel, rooms were well appointed... No TV was an added bonus!
Lounge area was lovely to sit in the evening, playing one of the many boardgames.
Restaurant was a little cramped (but this might have been due to the beautiful Christmas tree that was on display) but the food was incredible!
We will definitely be back!

We stayed in the family room which was excellent. All of the staff were welcoming and helpful. Breakfast had a good choice and high quality ingredients and products. And the afternoon scones and jam were delicious! Highly recommended and we’d definitely stay again.

The new owners have retained the character and comfort of the Royal Oak but have improved the facilities. The food was nice but I don’t understand why veg and potatoes are charged extra.

This is a great little find in a perfect, beautiful location. The staff are so friendly and helpful - we really wished we were staying longer and plan to come back shortly. The food (we had an evening meal and breakfast) was outstanding and such good value. We can't wait to return.

Lovely Hotel, out of way with great scenery. Staff is lovely and very welcoming and the food was great too!
Would have preferred a harder mattress but otherwise the room was super comfy and spacious. Would definitely go again.

Loved all the produce was local and excellent quality including toiletries. The food was delicious and staff very friendly and attentive. Hotel has been beautifully renovated recently and was spotless. Excellent location for so many fantastic walks, including Scafell Pike.

The Royal Oak is in a stunning location and there has clearly been a lot of investment in upgrading the facilities and decor. This has resulted in very stylish, thoughtfully designed, high quality accommodation.
The room & bathroom were gorgeous with good storage, a very comfortable bed and good quality fabrics, linen & towels.
Everywhere was spotlessly clean.
We very much enjoyed the evening meal and breakfast, both cooked well and with good quality ingredients.
The indoor spaces are well laid out, the courtyard was cool and peaceful and the garden was sunny and well tended.
The staff were friendly and helpful, particularly the chap who checked us in and worked in the evening (he has dark hair and a beard but we’re sorry we didn’t ask his name).
We would definitely recommend a stay here and are already planning to return.

The service was lovely on the Friday eve we had a meal which was £70 which went on a tab but sadly after I’d walked Scarfell pike the hotel had a power cut so we couldn’t get showered eat warm food etc so I went home early. The hotel gave us £75 refund which wasn’t great as that was the cost of meal really so we got £5 off the second nights stay which isn’t great!

The single room (no 7) was very small, with no chair or TV. Bed was comfortable, though. Should have been half the price, however, given the size.

Place was lovely, very clean and the breakfast was superb. But both me and my partner are in wheelchairs part time, I could not get hold of the hotel to say we would be using our chairs that weekend and would need downstairs accommodation. On arrival, before official check in time, I said do you have any downstairs rooms as we have our wheelchairs. I was told no, you are on the first floor, “It’s just one flight, it’s a weekend so we are fully booked”. No apology, we spent the weekend having to carefully go upstairs with one hand rail on the stairs. This has deteriorated my partners condition.
Unfortunately it’s unlikely we will stay there again due to this.
