Just eaten in the restaurant and we could not fault it. My wife had fish and chips and I had steak. We were both even tempted by the sweets. Totally full up now. Service very good despite pub being packed out on Good Friday night.

We have just returned from a great stay here. We had the family room which was good value for the 4 of us.The room was very clean and comfortable and the breakfasts were good. The main attraction though, has to be the food and real ales. We ate here every evening after a day out walking in the lake district... More

Our first stay here was about 5 years ago, tried to book up twice last year but it was full. We had a lovely room, comfy bed, great views, big TV. Ate 3 nights in the bar, food was excellent. Red wine was at perfect room temperture. Open fire was on so the atmosphere was warm and cosy. It is... More

A cosy pub with roaring fires and lovely Christmas... More

Having been double -booked elsewhere we arrived on a very cold Friday afternoon for a 2 night stay.

A roaring real fire in the bar area meant it was very cosy and warm - as was the mulled... More

The staff were resentful of customers, the food was abismal but expensive. The furniture is tired and grimy. Frankly it seems only to survive because it's in the village centre. Avoid this place. There are much better options.

My daughter, giant Schauzer and myself stayed at the Royal Oak for two nights. After a long journey from London the welcome was warm. The room was very comfortable and spotlessly clean. The bar area was cosy and inviting. The dinner and breakfast menues were good and the portions generous. Only fault was that the walls inbetween the rooms are... More

We stayed here last weekend. The location is perfect for walking the pub/hotel was comfortable nice and warm with a warm welcome. The food was very good and good value for money. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The only negative was that the mattresses need replacing in some of the rooms as they were noisy and kept us... More
