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

So special!! Dinner and breakfast top rated.

This hotel has friendly staff with a warm welcome, good food and is good value for money. It was convenient and comfortable. It’s an old building, so it’s not all modern and pristine, but it does have character and we feel that we had good value for what we paid. It was a very cold spell and our room was very chilly for a good few hours on arrival, but it did warm up and was warm and comfy all night. We sat by the cosy fire in the pub and relaxed. Everywhere in the hotel was clean, extra large bed was comfy and all our laundry items were clean and fresh. If you are looking for the pristine surroundings of a modern hotel, then you should pay double the price and consider going elsewhere. If you are happy with a friendly atmosphere, and a little dated, but very clean surroundings, we would recommend this hotel. I think that the price is very fair for the service, room and food that we received. Thank you to all for our comfy overnight stay.

Nothing wrong with the premises but the dinner food was disappointing.

Only spent 1 night

Warm welcome, beautiful & comfortable room with excellent bathroom & facilities. Dinner choice was very tempting, choice of beers & gins extensive and very welcome at end of a long days drive. All 3 ladies who looked after us were delightful and following a very peaceful & comfortable night we were pleased to see a very cheerful Naomi again at Breakfast. What a very hardworking team.

Character hotel. Friendly staff. Good service. Good food. Nice room.

The room was excellent, spacious and comfortable. Parking on the road at the front wasn't an issue.

It is a lovely place. Very friendly and helpful staff. It actually felt quite posh. In a nice way. I would have preferred an indoor storage space for my bike. But it was secure where it was

Spacious room with very comfy bed and excellent home cooked breakfast! Staff were amazing even little things like showing us to our room rather than just giving instructions! We will be staying again 🙂

We could not fault our one night stay, the welcome on arival, the comfort of the room, the evening meal and breakfast, the friendliness of the staff were all first class. Our dog was really spoilt with attention and a bag of treats including a ball. A wonderful place to break a journey between north and south.
