Although the pub was off the beaten track it was one of the most friendly pubs we have visited in many a year. The welcome was good the room was also good, parking directly outside the pub was available, also a bus stop directly outside. We were there for two nights and we ate both nights in the pub and both meals were very tasty and the portions were extremely generous, beer was also well kept, breakfast was standard full English or any combination you wanted. The owners and staff were really friendly and helpful

Nice, friendly pub in an interesting area with plenty to do. No real ale, which is a shame and means we probably wouldn't stay again. Also, a lot of single use plastic and not up to speed with sustainability.

We stayed in a cottage nearby and visited the pub on recommendation from the owner and thoroughly enjoyed our Saturday night in the Royal Oak. Friendly staff, an extensive food menu, great drink selection (Cruzcampo on draft was a proper bonus!!) and incredibly good value for money! If you’re in the area, pop in, you won’t be disappointed 👍🏻

Had a lovely stay, staff friendly and welcoming, rooms clean. Only down side advertised as having a pool table which was the reasoning for booking as travelled with my 12 year old son. Thought it would be something we could do in the evening instead of just being in our room. Picture showed a pool table and in description but was not one and had not been for a few years.

A really lovely local hotel. The staff and rooms are first class and the "natives" very friendly. Sadly I was only there for one night, but I really enjoyed the beer, evening meal and setting. I left full of a first class breakfast!!!

Welcome was warm and check in easy. Host waited up as I was late back in the evening. The bed was most comfortable ever and I had a great night sleep. Cooked breakfast was tasty, plenty and variety of options freely available.
