We have visited the Royal Oak many times and have never been disappointed. The steak & ale pie is excellent and they always have a couple of local beers on draft. There is a special pensioners deal on Tuesdays - take your bus pass! I haven't tried it but it looks like just smaller portions of the main menu. The... More

Myself, my husband and daughter stayed at the Royal Oak the August bank holiday weekend. What a fantastic choice. On arrival we were impessed by the quaintness of the bar and dining areas and we were greeted by friendly staff, who showed us to our room. The hotel on has 3 guest bedrooms, we were in the Ullswater room and... More

Finally we spotted the sign off the A595 and boy was I glad we followed it. Lovely welcoming atmosphere, bustling and helpful... More

Upon arrival it was explained that the main lights in the room didn't work (bedside lamps were ok) due to some electrical error or such like. Not a good start. The Pub is... More
