Parking was busy

What a find! Friendly staff, exceptional food and fantastic value. 💫

Everything

Advertised as Keswick, but it was a 15-20 minute drive away. "Mountain view" room, but could just about see the tip of a hill through the buildings. Breakfast room was small and chaotic. Quite grumpy and abrupt reception staff.... stated she left a voicemail message about dinner booking which was a lie as I dont have voicemail set up on phone. If youre expecting a television in the room; youll be disappointed. Overall disappointed

Had a wonderful stay here. Great location with beautiful views. Room was lovely and clean. Staff were great and food was excellent

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Royal Oak while hiking the C2C. The staff was welcoming. Our room was clean and well appointed. The food and drink were delicious! The large drying room was a welcome perk after a day of hiking in the rain. We would definitely stay here again!

We appreciated the room we rented and loved our friendly wait staff. The shower in one of the small, communal bathrooms must have been clogged because it barely drained, causing almost immediate filling up of the base and water spilling over onto the floor where I set my change of clothes. Thanks

Woaw woaw woaw - from the staff to the food, this place is the perfect get away. The rooms are beautiful, we stayed in a Superior double and were right by the beautiful babbling brook (we kept the window open to listen to the stream). We arrived in the late afternoon on Sunday and decided to both have the 3 course for £35. We were blown away by the quality and the flavours that we decided to eat the following night at the hotel. (Despite planning to have dinner at Keswick) We especially love that the menu changes daily, a limited menu because the food is bought fresh on the day, the chef calls the local market and asks what’s available. We thought this was fantastic! We have never had such a wonderful experience with dinner. There is a stunning 5mile walk that sets off from the hotel (Castle Rigg) and we decided to use follow the hotel recommendations. Beautiful walk not disappointed. ONLY LET DOWN - the house keeping, the tea/coffees/biscuits were not topped up throughout our stay and no teaspoons. The dirty mugs were not taken away and no clean ones provided. So we had to wash everything in the sink.

We arrived here after a long wet day in the C2C. Really pleased to find a drying room, an excellent restaurant and comfortable rooms with awesome showers. Highly recommend

My room was spacious, comfortable and overlooked the stream, very peaceful and calming.

This was our favorite of half a dozen well rated hotels we stayed at on our two week trip!

I like the hotel , but found it lacking in a number of areas. The thing that disappointed me the most was the restaurant and bar. The food was extremely limited and was trying to be somthing it wasnt. I found the beer selection limited and the wine way over priced

The Royal Oak was the nicest hotel we stayed in on our visit. The room was spacious and clean. Dinner and breakfast were outstanding. The staff was helpful and friendly. I can wholeheartedly recommend staying at the Royal Oak.

Lovely place to stay in the Lakes District just outside of Keswick.Friendly staff with a great breakfast range and limited but superb dinner Very popular with hikers as well situated too many lovely walking tracks

Gorgeous hotel, very cosy, amazing food and the most welcoming, lovely owners/staff. Great selection of gluten free food and gluten free beers on tap.

Great place to stay, stunning location near Scafell Pike & other mountains. Would definitely go back.

Stayed in the 6-person room, really good value and would highly recommend (especially for a group of friends). Very clean, great location, nice breakfast. 10/10

Beautiful little hotel. Could not fault it. The food was amazing, the staff were fantastic.

Really nice B&B, close to Scafell which was perfect for travelling there and back in a short time after a long hike. Staff were very accommodating and friendly. Would definitely stay again!

The staff were so amazing. Thank you.

A change to have a hotel with no TV s . Definitely good fir people looking for peace and quiet.

We arrived back from our hike a few minutes after last food order - we were disappointed that we couldn't even have a sandwich - but had a lovely meal in the welcoming pub next door!! Apart from that our stay was really great.

Family of 4 with 2 boys age 9 & 13. Great location, staff really friendly (especially the Greek waitress apologises we didn't get her name) Food excellent and rooms really clean and well presented. Will defiantly return..

Our stay at the Royal Oak was fab staff amazing would definitely be returning

Didn't expect a room with bunked beds and shared bathroom. Stayed only for 1 nights so was fine, but for longer could be inconvenience. Decent breakfast, although not a fan of FEB, so cant comment on that.

Lovely refurb. Quiet location. Good breakfast.

Helpful and friendly staff made our stay most welcoming.

Amazing place, beautiful scenery and beautiful accommodation. Breakfast superb!

Fantastic weekend. Great hotel with a nice blend of old & modern. Very clean inside & out. Great views & location. Would definitely visit again

The greeting from the staff was excellent and so welcoming. Rooms are large and bed was SOOO comfortable. There was a bathtub which was a blessing to this guest who had been hiking so really benefitted from the soak. Food was EXCELLENT, especially breakfast. Very easy to find, right on the Coast to Coast path. I hated to leave!

Room was excellent. Breakfast was amazing. Only problem was that exhaust fan outside our room kept turning off and on all night and really disturbed my sleep.

The Royal Oak is in a magical place - a beautiful valley with lovely walks. The room was large, pleasant, and very clean. The breakfasts and dinners were superb. The staff was friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!
