Royal Oak Hotel

Nice decor and great breakfast! Comfy pillows, free parking and WiFi. Perfect stay and great location for where we wanted to be.

No phone signal, but can¿t be helped given location.

Large Room, fantastic shower, comfortable bed, amazing friendly staff

Poor Menu for evening meal and not much breakfast choice

Big room, amazing people

Rooms very lovely, hotel comfortable and welcoming relaxing! Endless tea and coffee, and scones at 3pm! 5 star !! Food very lovely too!We loved our stay!

The room was cozy and comfortable, staff were very welcoming and friendly and the included breakfast was incredible the morning before a hike. Would definitely recommend!

Impressed by the value for money. Breakfast was included in the price, with a great selection of items to suit a wide range of dietary needs. The room itself was spacious and had everything you needed. A doggy treat box on arrival was a wonderful touch. The rosemary & nettle toiletries great for sensitive skin and made the room smell like a spa and were perfect for a long soak after a day of hiking.There is complimentary tea and coffee available, and at 3pm each day fresh scones are put out for guests to help themselves to, which was such a thoughtful addition. The three-course dinner in the evening was exceptional for the price paid and incredibly tasty. The hotel has a really cosy, homely feel, with just the right balance of privacy and friendliness. I was travelling alone with my dog and felt completely at ease. Before and after dinner, guests naturally congregated in the lounge area, with lots of games to enjoy. There were lots of well-behaved dogs staying, which added to the relaxed atmosphere. I ended up making some lovely connections over my two days with people I’ll stay in touch with.I didn’t even notice until my second evening that there wasn’t a TV in the room; which I felt encouraged much more interaction and integration amongst guests, a really refreshing change. The drying room was extremely useful and very much appreciated after wet hikes.Location is perfect for hiking and getting around the area, making it ideal if you’re exploring locally.Service and care were exceptional. Everything you might need had already been thought of - options to order packed lunch for the next day, laminated maps and bus timetables readily available. They even remembered my drink order from dinner the previous night. Little things go a long way and they really got the little things right! The level of attentiveness was consistent throughout my stay. Thoughtful, calm, and never intrusive.

The only area for improvement would be cleanliness in the room. While everything looked clean on first impression. The floor was quite dirty on arrival and would have benefited from a sweep or hoover, despite being laminate. There was noticeable dust behind the side tables, on the kettle, and on the mirror, and the shower screen seal could do with attention. I also noticed what looked like minor damp at the bottom of the wardrobe wall inside, which would be worth checking. These things stood out mainly because everything else was so well maintained and cared for.Overall, a truly welcoming, comfortable, and memorable stay - especially if you enjoy hiking, good food, dogs, and a warm, social atmosphere. I would happily return.

Wonderful location, warm, welcoming, great food, excellent service

Location was excellent

Rooms dated. Main area for sitting room was chilly when the fire wasn’t on

The friendly staff, the excellent food and the cosy comfortable room

The rain

The Royal Oak was full of warmth and character. The staff were welcoming and friendly and looked after us very well. The gorgeous Christmas decorations made it even more special. Our room was very comfortable with stylish en suite - and great shower! The food was delicious. Great location for walking.

Can’t think of anything I would change. Possibly just having the fire on in the lounge area would have added to the atmosphere.

It was a lovely hotel, the staff were very friendly and the food was lovely, even my 6 yr old picky eater loved the food.

Lovely staff - excellent breakfast, comfortable bed.

Our bedroom was very cold during the early hours - could have done with some extra bedding but couldn't find any so put on extra clothes to keep warm.

Love the location and the design of the place. Perfect for our family stay. Very dog friendly - which we like. Helpful and welcoming staff. Great breakfast! We didn’t have evening meal this time.

Very relaxing. Great location. Friendly and helpful staff.

I suffer from sciatica and had difficulty finding comfortable seating.

The location, customer service, facilities, food and room all exceeded expectation. A 'polished' hotel/Inn service!

Location, restaurant/food and value for money

Comfortable, excellent food, friendly staff.

Clean, cheerful staff, excellent food-Scones and tea to greet you after a long days walk..The drying room was very much needed.And a great location for exploring the area.

Nothing!

Lovely friendly staff. Nice areas to have a drink outside, have a cozy night inside and have breakfast. The set menu felt a bit pricey but was good quality.

At the very top of our budget.
