great stay nice room, very comfortable bed, great fresh cooked breakfast cooked on their specifications. the pub is popular and lively without being rebellious and the timothy taylor’s landlord was held to perfection. will be back. View all feedback. What Robert Walker doesn't like about Old Royal Oak:
Entry into the car park rear yard is done through builders type fencing. The pub was decorated like a grotto with local yocals! If you like Kareoke this is the place for you. The rear card was cluttered with garbage and an odd smokers tent ! The room was clean but the bathroom was clinical like a care home. Breakfast not provided Oh we are having a deep clean says it all.

For twenty years in this pub. it was always a nice place

Best Sunday dinner I had at the age.fantastic food .lush

Lovely old world pub in Market Square, big clean comfy room and great breakfast.

Nestled in Knaresborough, the Old Royal Oak has garnered a reputation for its warm hospitality and inviting atmosphere. Guests praise the immaculate and cozy rooms, though some lament the lack of breakfast during temporary kitchen refurbishments. The pub boasts a friendly vibe, with staff going above and beyond to create a homely environment. Visitors enjoy an array of delicious food, particularly the renowned Sunday roast, served with generous portions and attentive service. Despite some minor decor issues, the Old Royal Oak remains a delightful haven for both locals and travelers seeking comfort and camaraderie in a charming setting.
