Had a lovely one night stay, room was a decent size and modern, very comfy bed and pillows. Staff excellent. Good hearty breakfast made to order. Would definitely recommend.
I excellent hotel, stayed with my two small children. The family room was really nice, spacious and clean. The food was amazing, great selection at breakfast, the staff were very good.
Great location, friendly staff, comfortable room with a powerful shower. Food was excellent. I’d stay again.
The allowed me to change my booking very late but it was very difficult to do via Expedia who also charged me £30.
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
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!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
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
Great food, incredible location, housekeeping fail
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
This was our favorite of half a dozen well rated hotels we stayed at on our two week trip!

Nice place but could have been much better with a
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
