What DavidGlencross likes about The Royal Oak:
My friends and I booked two nights in the Royal Oak to celebrate each of us having recently turned 30 and we had an incredible weekend here! The hotel is beautifully quaint; perfect for a relaxing weekend away with a roaring fire and good local beers/ciders on draft too! The staff were really great fun (especially Shannon) and the restaurant’s steak was absolutely insane, definitely amongst the best we have ever had!... View all feedback. What Fresh110 doesn't like about The Royal Oak:
We stayed in the Royal Oak very nice room but the radiators had a value on to stop turning them up . Had a drink in bar very nice but after our meal both fires had been turned off and it was very old ,also dinned in the restaurant and it was freezing had to sit in coats as were several other people,shame as it should be really cosy this time of year View all feedback.

Nestled in a picturesque location, The Royal Oak offers a charming ambiance but faces some inconsistencies in service and comfort. While many guests rave about the delightful food and warm staff, others have encountered issues with cold dining areas, awkward seating arrangements, and management practices that detract from the overall experience. Although the décor and quaint atmosphere are standout features, concerns over staff fatigue and diminishing attention to customer service have been noted. Despite these hiccups, the well-prepared meals and inviting surroundings still attract patrons seeking a memorable getaway. Balancing potential and pitfalls, The Royal Oak remains a work in progress.
