Peaceful stay

Loved it here, very relaxing stay, lovely scones available on arrival and each afternoon, bed was comfy, shower was good. View from window onto River was beautiful. Liked that there was no TV in the room, more opportunity to relax. Also had an EV charger, was unable to get to it first night as someone else was parked in the space, but had access the following night so had enough charge to get home. Ate there 1 evening out of 2. Limited menu (still a good choice) very well cooked and presented. Would definitely recommend

Disliked: Staff & service
The hotel was lovely in a beautiful location and breakfast was really good. The guest WiFi did not work throughout the stay. We were woken up at half 7 by music playing from the kitchen. We mistook the check out time and had a member of staff knock on the door and be completely unprofessional with how he spoke to us. He spoke in an extremely condescending rude tone.

Lovely hotel with a relaxed vibe. The staff are all very friendly and offer a great service. Not only were we looked after, but our dog was also made to feel like a guest. The food is also amazing. Quality breakfast and lovely evening meal. We will definitely be returning.

Great base for walking in the area, however 15-20 minute drive from Keswick. Can’t speak for all rooms but ours was small, with no TV. Bathroom could do with some shelves, however very good shower. Breakfast choice, quality and service was very good. £30 additional cost for a dog irrespective of length of stay is extreme

Perfect Lakeland stay

We had a fantastic few days staying at the Royal Oak. Our room was perfect - very clean with extremely comfortable beds, an amazing shower and a lovely view straight onto the river. Lots of walking straight from the door, handy drying room for wet kit and lovely cosy bar and lounge for an after walk drink and board game. Dinner was absolutely delicious with a choice of three options each night. Highly recommended - we will definitely return!

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.
