The Royal Oak

Very friendly lady checked us in and showed us to our room, which was very clean and there was an actual bath in the bathroom, which is quite unusual these days! We didn’t expect breakfast, but there was a hamper containing continental breakfast, and a fridge with milk, water and orange juice. The kitchen wasn’t open on the evening we stayed, so we ate at The Prince of Kent Indian restaurant next door (which was also very good). The bed was comfortable and my only criticism was there was no mirror in the bedroom, but all in all, great value for money.

The accommodation was excellent 👍 Emma and Grace mother and daughter housekeeping team ( Emma is the housekeeper and excellent at her job)were both amazing and very accommodating, made our stay very comfortable, couldn't do enough for you and because of this we have booked again! However, the pub attached to the accommodation was closed till 3pm each day, we arrived on a Sunday and couldn't check in because the system doesn't work on Sundays? We were told to check in the next day at 3? You have to register your car on arrival, which we obviously couldn't do as no system..and apparently you have to do this every single day you are staying? Wth? We weren't told this until we were about to leave 5 days later 😤 not impressed, seems a little daft if you are staying in they're accommodation to have to check in at the same time each day? Surely they know how long we are staying? Everywhere else we have stayed, you book in and register your car on day 1..that's it, they know you are staying. On the note of the pub being closed most of the day, apart from Sunday there was no food available all week? They offer a breakfast hamper but there's a fab cafe a hop, skip and a jump away. The beers left a little to be desired but there is a pub just down the road. The WiFi was not very good, having said all this we will definitely stay again. I know that they are in the process of revamping the property but seems just a little bit overwhelmed. The staff are lovely.😊

Staff were very helpful. From check in thru departure.

The breakfast box was a great start to the day. Bed very comfortable.

This hotel was good for a pit stop. Apart from you could hear the traffic noise outside.
