Nice stay in heart of Cartmel

Lovely old building very conveniently situated for us. No television in the room, whilst not a problem for us, might prove an issue for others. Staff very helpful and friendly.

Just what we wanted in great location

This is really a pub with rooms. Suits us fine. Several places within 100 yards for breakfast. Lovely beers, friendly staff, welcoming to families, limited menu but v good cooking. Great room overlooking the square. Super beer garden. Recommend.

Everything worked fine and we had a good stay. Nice beer! Only one, terribly minor, request for the future. The hotel had an arrangement that we had breakfast in a cafe over the road, it was a nice breakfast with a good range of options but only one cup of coffee included; we could have done with a second cup to send us on our way.

Staying in a room above a village pub is a unique experience. Our rooms at the Royal Oak were small but comfortable. The bathroom was modern and spacious. There is a steep flight of stairs to access the rooms so if you have mobility challenges that would be something to consider. It was pretty noisy in the evenings but quieted after 10:30-11:00 so we slept well. The location was great- right on the village square. I would recommend it for the experience

Lovely pub in a lovely village. The staff were very nice and helpful. We stayed one night in Ghyll. The room was spacious and clean with a nice bathroom. The bed was comfortable and the shower was good. There was no loud noise from the pub or outside. We had an evening meal in the pub. It was good food - decent portions, delicious & hot. The pub has a super beer garden out the back. We had breakfast which is over the road - this was also very nice. We only had one hot drink included in the breakfast but didn’t mind paying for another. We would stay again!!

Clean, tidy and totally adequate accommodation, pleasant staff and good selection of ales in the bar. Breakfast served in tea room over the road. We arrived before our allocated time, and although the place was empty apart from one table of two, the proprietor suggested we were given a time for a reason and to come back later. Obviously missed the meaning of "hospitality" in the industry, or was unable to fry two eggs at once! Please stay at the Royal Oak, but dodge the Basil Fawlty breakfast experience.

A very enjoyable stay

We stayed in Crag which is at the front of the hotel . It was a large spacious room with a comfortable bed . We did not eat at the Royal Oak - you get breakfast across the square. I was v happy with our accommodation. It is worth pointing out that although the room is above the pub we had no noise from the bar area . 2 things that might be worth pointing out are a) there is no TV in the room and b) parking is only limited to 1-2 hours in the village but longer stay is available at the racecourse which is 2 mins walk for £10 per night ( the signs said it was more but the machine only charged us £10 ) or by the school 7 mins walk away which is free .
