Royal Oak Hotel

Perfect location in the centre of town and near to all the amenities (as well as the start and end of our walk - the main reason for going). Staff friendly, bedroom quiet, clean and comfortable and an excellent breakfast thrown in. We also had an evening meal here which again was very good and a reasonable price. Would come again

The Royal Oak has a wonderful location in a quiet village setting and visitors can expect a relaxing change of pace. The countryside around is spectacular for England and the people are without exception friendly and helpful. I'm perhaps biased because my family lived in Gt Ayton in the early 19th Century and although I was born in North Yorkshire today, as a visiting southerner it's very much my home ground. This was my third or fourth visit and I thoroughly recommend The Royal Oak to tourists, visitors,hikers, bikers or anyone who appreciates a splendid local traditional pub-hotel with food to match.

A lovely village pub. I didn’t have a dinner, however, the breakfast, which was included in the room rate, was really nice, with freshly made coffee, which was good. The rooms are above the pub, my window faced the outdoor patio but I didn’t find it noisy. The room was large with a comfy double bed, and a nice sofa style chair for one. Everything was clean, and I’m really fussy about that. The bathroom was large as well, it was spotless, with an electric shower (in all honesty it is not the strongest shower I’ve ever had, but more then good enough, and this wouldn’t put me off booking again). All the staff I spoken to was lovely and helpful. It’s only 20 minutes drive to Saltburn, totally doable even if you just want to spend an hour there. I have nothing negative to say about my stay. Thank you!
