10/10 Exceptional

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.
Nathan, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

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.

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

10/10 Exceptional

Great location, friendly staff, comfortable room with a powerful shower. Food was excellent. I’d stay again. The allowed me to change my booking very late but it was very difficult to do via Expedia who also charged me £30.
Alex, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

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
Duncan, 2-night trip

Really nice B&B, close to Scafell which was perfect for travelling there and back in a short time after a long hike. Staff were very accommodating and friendly. Would definitely stay again!

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!
