The hotel was perfect for what we wanted ie: to have somewhere to stay near our son. Unfortunately the people in the next room were having a party until 1.30am and had the tv on until 2am. We could hear everything, conversations and the programme on the tv. We were unable to sleep. This is not the hotel’s fault but it did spoil our stay. We will stay again and hope other guests will be more considerate next time.

We stayed only 1 x night and couldn't be happier. The room was very comfortable and appointed. Dinner was delicious with a good choice on the menu, and there was a really nice atmosphere in the pub, which had outside dining available too. The owners were very helpful and friendly. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone.

Lovely old building, spacious rooms

Room was lovely, spacious , bathroom was spacious and clean. Shower was great. Building is really old so big high ceilings old windows etc . Would definitely stay again. We had breakfast which was great apart from our toast arrived some time after breakfast, seems a bit petty but they weren’t busy and a really simple fix, they also only brought white so I had to go and find someone for some brown. However, the breakfast was nice.

Wonderful weekend

A lovely 2 night stay. The Royal Oak had everything we needed. The bedroom and bathroom were spacious and airy. We appreciated the quiet room as we had early starts at the nearby Oulton Park race circuit. Lovely garden areas too and welcoming and helpful manager. We will make this our hotel of choice when in the area.
