"Beautiful hotel, decor was fantastic, everything spotless and of the highest standard. Breakfast was amazing - restaurant standard. Can’t recommend this place highly enough, 5 mins walk down the hill to the town "
"The perfect hotel!
Room 229, more like an apartment than hotel room.
All spotless, and extremely helpful staff.
Breakfast was usual buffet style woth plenty of other options if needed.
Local for everything that was needed myself as well."
"An overnight stay needed before a uni offer day at Durham., I just wish we could have stayed longer.
Clean, comfortable, everything you could possibly need and the views !
Hopefully the uni offer will be accepted and I can stay again for a while longer !"
"Bright, spacious room in this lovely hotel. Bar area works v well and it’s nice to be able to sit outside.
Excellent central location means you an walk everywhere. Highly recommended."
"Overall everything was good, our only issue was after being there for a few days we noticed the toaster was full of crumbs, obviously not been emptied for quite some time, and the oven tray had not been cleaned after it had been used. We hadn’t met the owner, so decided it was easier just to clean them both before using them.
On the hole, everything else was excellent.
There was no recycling facilities, which was quite a surprise, and also a slight disappointment. Everything else was above...
"A comfortable, quiet yet conveniently situated hotel. Our king size bed was a little firm, but that's personal taste. Breakfasts were tasty and nicely cooked and served. We didn't eat dinner at the hotel. There's plenty of car parking, but it does get busy with diners' cars. The free wi-fi was fine. Out tv needed a new aerial cable, which was sorted immediately when we raised the issue. Staff were friendly and approachable.
Sadly, as the twelve bedrooms are all up one or two flights of steep,...
"Très bon rapport qualité-prix. L’hôtel offre une grande flexibilité pour l’installation, même en cas d’arrivée tardive, ce qui est très appréciable. La chambre était propre, le lit spacieux et confortable, parfait pour passer une bonne nuit. Pour le tarif proposé, la prestation est vraiment satisfaisante et répond pleinement aux attentes."
"Set in lovely countryside views, owners & staff all veey friendly & helpful, fabulous choice of breakfasts, meals available during evening also with a varied menu including gluten free. No hesitation in recommending The Royal Oak for any length of stay, wish we could have stayed for longer!!!!"
"Not great for EV drivers as when you take the car to charge, you cannot return to the hotel to park. And the cleanliness in the bathroom prevented me from bathing my 3 year old."
