What guests think

At Royal Oak Inn, travellers consistently praise the friendly, welcoming staff and especially the excellent breakfasts and pub meals, while noting its lively atmosphere and a convenient town location that is easy for walking and close to transport.

Rooms are generally comfortable, sometimes spacious or newly updated, though a few show wear or minor issues. Noise from the bar or events can carry late on weekend nights, and one guest found check-in slow when the pub was busy. Expect a warm pub‑inn stay with standout breakfasts and an occasionally lively evening scene.

This pub is great. Nice ale, nice wine. Absolutely lovely staff. We appreciate it is an old building. Breakfast was nice. Good for healthy choices. Chef smashed the smoked haddock and poached eggs 😊. We appreciate we got a good deal, however attention is needed in the rooms. Positives, good clean linen, comfy bed, warm. Requirements - sort the shower area out, needs new sealant. Room 1 will be difficult for some guests to sit on the loo as too close to the shower glass.

Arrived on a Friday night and it was noisy til after midnight. Staff were busy and checkin was slow and not clear where to go. Rooms were clean and well presented. Bed was softer than I like but otherwise comfortable. Window in en suite did not close fully which exacerbated impact of noise from outside bar area.

Overall great value accommodation in a lovely Town & great friendly pub. Decor a little tired in places. I was in room 6 & just a bit disappointed with the lack of shower gels/shampoo, ‘loose wallpaper’ & the shower itself was very temperamental-with a too hot or too cold control. ( I should have mentioned this on departure but didn’t) Food was good & overall charming & with bits of tweaking would be even better.

Easy to find, simple check ina and out process. Very eady going and nothing was too much trouble. The room was modernly furnished with fixtures and fittings in both bedroom and bathroom clearly well looked after and recently replaced, but very sympathetic to the age of the property. Breakfast was amazing, with decent coffee and proper vegetarian options .Would definitely recommend.
