This was one of the prettiest places we've ever stayed in. Breakfast was delicious and personalised, wonderfully renovated pub and hotel rooms. Staff were really friendly and great pub to enjoy a drink or eat in. Comfortable, quiet and extremely relaxing with added bonus of bath and sash windows which opened to look out at the front of the property. PERFECT!!

Our ground floor room was lovely and had a little garden that you could sit in and it was quiet. No flannels or box of tissues or glasses for toothbrushes Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very nice and served at your table. No pastries or croissants though.

I plan to stay at The Royal Oak again in the near future. The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was spotless, and the bed was very comfortable. I had hoped to explore the area, but the rain—and the fact that I had forgotten my coat—made that difficult. On arrival, we were offered a table for the evening, even though the restaurant was popular with locals and quite busy. Dinner was excellent, and I would especially recommend the honey-roast ham. Breakfast also offered a wide selection of high-quality options. I would happily recommend The Royal Oak for both accommodation and dining.

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
