    friendly staff
    clean bathroom

    our stay at the royal oak was fantastic! the staff were so friendly and helpful. the bathroom was scrupulously clean, and we loved the decor in our standard family room. it was quiet too, being set back from the main pub. we enjoyed the cozy communal room and found plenty of walks nearby, perfect for exploring. breakfast was delicious, and the evening meal was divine!

    A beautiful stay with quality furnishings and exceptional cleanliness in the Standard Double Room. The food showcased fresh local ingredients, especially the exceptional meat dishes, which were outstanding. The staff's dedication to customer service really stood out as they actively engaged with us, ensuring every detail was perfect. The idyllic scenery made our experience even more memorable.

    accommodating staff
    delicious breakfast
    small room

    lovely experience but small room for improvement

    The team was incredibly accommodating, especially with my late meal request, which they handled with great professionalism. I had a peaceful night's sleep, which is rare for me when staying away from home.

    The room felt a bit smaller than I expected.

    excellent breakfast
    poor service
    disappointing food quality

    Excellent breakfast options with quality ingredients.

    I was really disappointed with the service during my stay. The staff seemed overwhelmed and were often hard to find when I needed assistance. the food quality did not match the high prices, leaving me feeling misled.

    stunning views
    delicious breakfast
    cozy room
    staff confusion

    Had a great time with friends hiking the Ridgeway, enjoying the beautiful fields of Eastbrook and Lower Farm. The location made for some stunning views. Plus, the breakfast was just delicious, fueling us for our adventures. The room was cozy and fit our group perfectly.

    One downside was the confusion over a packed lunch request. Staff weren't sure how to handle it and caused a delay, making our morning a bit hectic.

    charming room
    outstanding breakfast
    limited vegetarian options
    less diverse menu

    Charming ambience with outstanding food

    I enjoyed my stay in a delightful room that had all the comforts needed, including great tea options and lovely local artwork. The breakfast spread was superb, featuring fresh organic produce and mouthwatering pastries. the communal lounge provided a cozy spot to unwind, making it a unique experience. a broader range of vegetarian menu options would enhance the dining experience for those with specific dietary preferences.

    cozy room
    delicious dining
    limited vegetarian options
    menu variety

    A delightful cozy experience with exceptional dining

    I had a wonderful one-night stay in a charming room that was spotless and well-equipped with tea and coffee facilities. The highlight was definitely the delicious dinner I had at the restaurant, where the focus on locally sourced ingredients made all the difference. Breakfast was equally impressive, featuring a variety of options made from fresh, organic produce. One area that could be improved is the menu variety for vegetarian options, as it felt a bit limited.

    spacious room
    clean environment
    comfy bed
    minor noise
    lack of soundproofing

    The room was spacious and really clean, with a comfy bed that made relaxing easy. I loved that it was in a quiet area away from the pub, so it felt more private. The community room was a nice touch with its cozy chairs and snacks. The quirky decor added some charm too!

    clean room
    comfortable bed
    local ingredients
    noise ingress
    minor inconvenience

    The Royal Oak is a charming pub located in a picturesque village. My room was in a lovely annex, spotlessly clean, and featured a comfortable bed. I enjoyed a freshly prepared breakfast that highlighted local ingredients and a well-curated selection of teas and coffee in the room.

    Minor noise from the room above
