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.

We had a fantastic few days staying at the Royal Oak. Our room was perfect - very clean with extremely comfortable beds, an amazing shower and a lovely view straight onto the river. Lots of walking straight from the door, handy drying room for wet kit and lovely cosy bar and lounge for an after walk drink and board game. Dinner was absolutely delicious with a choice of three options each night. Highly recommended - we will definitely return!

The hotel was lovely in a beautiful location and breakfast was really good. The guest WiFi did not work throughout the stay. We were woken up at half 7 by music playing from the kitchen. We mistook the check out time and had a member of staff knock on the door and be completely unprofessional with how he spoke to us. He spoke in an extremely condescending rude tone.
