Lovely hotel with a relaxed vibe. The staff are all very friendly and offer a great service. Not only were we looked after, but our dog was also made to feel like a guest. The food is also amazing. Quality breakfast and lovely evening meal. We will definitely be returning.

Great base for walking in the area, however 15-20 minute drive from Keswick. Can’t speak for all rooms but ours was small, with no TV. Bathroom could do with some shelves, however very good shower. Breakfast choice, quality and service was very good. £30 additional cost for a dog irrespective of length of stay is extreme

Perfect Lakeland stay
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!

Calm, peaceful and excellent
Exceptional location, amazing bed, and a wonderful, welcoming service from all the staff. Evening meal was incredible. Breakfast was great, with a wide range of continental options to go with your cooked meal. We are both veggies and ate/drank really well here. What a fantastic hotel

Advertised as Keswick, but it was a 15-20 minute drive away. "Mountain view" room, but could just about see the tip of a hill through the buildings. Breakfast room was small and chaotic. Quite grumpy and abrupt reception staff.... stated she left a voicemail message about dinner booking which was a lie as I dont have voicemail set up on phone. If youre expecting a television in the room; youll be disappointed. Overall disappointed

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Royal Oak while hiking the C2C. The staff was welcoming. Our room was clean and well appointed. The food and drink were delicious! The large drying room was a welcome perk after a day of hiking in the rain. We would definitely stay here again!

8/10 Very good

We appreciated the room we rented and loved our friendly wait staff. The shower in one of the small, communal bathrooms must have been clogged because it barely drained, causing almost immediate filling up of the base and water spilling over onto the floor where I set my change of clothes. Thanks

Great food, incredible location, housekeeping fail
Woaw woaw woaw - from the staff to the food, this place is the perfect get away. The rooms are beautiful, we stayed in a Superior double and were right by the beautiful babbling brook (we kept the window open to listen to the stream). We arrived in the late afternoon on Sunday and decided to both have the 3 course for £35. We were blown away by the quality and the flavours that we decided to eat the following night at the hotel. (Despite planning to have dinner at Keswick) We especially love that the menu changes daily, a limited menu because the food is bought fresh on the day, the chef calls the local market and asks what’s available. We thought this was fantastic! We have never had such a wonderful experience with dinner. There is a stunning 5mile walk that sets off from the hotel (Castle Rigg) and we decided to use follow the hotel recommendations. Beautiful walk not disappointed. ONLY LET DOWN - the house keeping, the tea/coffees/biscuits were not topped up throughout our stay and no teaspoons. The dirty mugs were not taken away and no clean ones provided. So we had to wash everything in the sink.
