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.

Natalie, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Amazing stay at a beautiful property. Just off the Coast to Coast walk, this hotel was a perfect place to recover from a long walk. And the all-day tea/coffee and scones was a lifesaver. The rooms were nice and the food was delicious. Could not recommend more. They even had a place to fill up water bottles/bladders next to a gear drying room, which was a nice touch.

Dog friendly Hotel in an picturesque setting

This was our first time at The Royal Oak Hotel. Staff were very friendly, and couldn’t have been more helpful. Our room was modern with a rustic yet country feel, comfortable, spacious, and clean. Food was delicious. We had breakfast each morning and dined in the restaurant on the night. Staff were helpful and attentive. The hotel is dog friendly, which was perfect as we have two Labs, which meant the could come with us.
Lorraine, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

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.

Lovely place to stay in the Lakes District just outside of Keswick.Friendly staff with a great breakfast range and limited but superb dinner Very popular with hikers as well situated too many lovely walking tracks
Robert, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Peaceful stay

Loved it here, very relaxing stay, lovely scones available on arrival and each afternoon, bed was comfy, shower was good. View from window onto River was beautiful. Liked that there was no TV in the room, more opportunity to relax. Also had an EV charger, was unable to get to it first night as someone else was parked in the space, but had access the following night so had enough charge to get home. Ate there 1 evening out of 2. Limited menu (still a good choice) very well cooked and presented. Would definitely recommend
