A wonderful find - exceptional

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.

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.
