I had a wonderful time at this quirky hotel with a superb shower after long hours of hiking. The three-course set menu was absolutely delicious, a delightful surprise! The breakfast was a treat with endless tasty options that I loved.

Make sure to utilize the drying room for your gear after hikes. it's an essential service that enhances the experience.

Cosy stay with delicious food, but the decor could use an update.

Highly recommend for families seeking a unique experience

The staff were so friendly, it felt like I was talking to old friends. they even let my younger son ring the gong for dinner, a little touch that made it fun for everyone. The meals were a four-course surprise, my boys found a newfound love for mushroom soup and we all sat together in the lounge, chatting away like we were in some classic tale.

It wasn’t inexpensive but still acceptable for what we got.

My children wished there was a kids menu to cater to their picky tastes during dinner.

Do recommend for a whistle-stop

Cozy room, delicious breakfast, including a lovely selection of teas and scones upon arrival, along with super friendly staff making our stay feel exceptionally welcoming.

Everything was fantastic.

The hot showers were powerful and refreshing after our long walks, and the drying room was super handy!

Our stay at the Royal Oak Hotel was a treat! The room had a cozy corner with an armchair perfect for curling up with a book. The food was a delight, especially the breakfast spread that included buttery croissants and fresh fruit. A bonus was the drying room for our muddy gear after long hikes.

We found the room a bit on the small side.

Consider using the drying room for your hiking gear after a day of exploring. it's a real lifesaver and helps avoid dampness in your room.

Cozy, Cozy, Cozy

The cozy lounge areas were perfect for unwinding after a long hike, with fresh coffee and leaf tea available all day. The breakfast blew my mind, with offered dishes like yummy poached eggs and vibrant fruit salad that got me energized for my adventures! Plus, I loved the communal dining experience, complete with a gong summons that made each meal feel so friendly and inviting.

A delightful culinary experience

Our stay was truly enjoyable, with a memorable four-course dinner showcasing high-quality ingredients that really impressed us. The breakfast left nothing to be desired, featuring fresh fruit and buttery croissants that kicked off our days perfectly. the room was a bit smaller than we anticipated, leaving little space to spread out after our outdoor adventures.

The cozy lounge areas and the convenient EV charging points were a delight. Loved the drying room for our gear after hikes!

The dinner was a delightful feast, a four-course set menu that packed a punch with tasty bites! Breakfast? Best I've ever had—fresh fruit salad, dreamy poached eggs, and top-notch bread. Plus, the drying room for muddy gear was a brilliant touch!

The location was perfect for exploring the Borrowdale Valley—the nearby hikes were stunning. Dinner was a delight with a four-course set menu that offered delicious flavors, while breakfast was possibly the best I've ever had with fresh fruit and perfectly poached eggs. The drying room for our hiking gear was a fantastic touch, making it easy to clean up after outdoor adventures.
