Really lovely spot. Well appointed rooms, helpful staff and excellent food in the restaurant
I have stayed here a few times for work and have always had a really nice stay. Rooms are spacious but really cosy with lots of nice finishing touches. The food is excellent and all the staff are super friendly.
We chose this hotel based on reviews praising the gluten free food and we were not disappointed. The food is excellent and the choice for coeliacs is great. The rooms are huge and very comfortable. Can’t wait to return
This is a beautiful place to stay in a charming village. I have a fabulous room (9) with stunning bathroom. Breakfast was excellent and the staff could not have been nicer. All in all a superb stay. I wish I could give it a six rating
Welcoming, helpful, kind staff.
Rooms could use better lighting.

A little overpriced for what it is.
Mostly friendly and helpful staff.
Basic attention to details is lacking.
Needs some serious maintenance and refurb in bedrooms.

Absolutely lovely stay at The Royal oak. Beautifully decorated throughout, with a really warm and homely feel. Staff were welcoming, dinner and breakfast were first-class and my room was spotlessly clean with a great bathroom and comfy bed. Would definitely return, I stayed for work but it would be a lovely place for a weekend away.
