Friendly welcome with a blazing fire in the bar. Route to the rooms not very inspiring outsde and up a cluttered staircase. Rooms(we saw our friends as well) were a bit gothic with dark wallpaper and dark lampshades. Room preparation OK except for missing cup and saucer and non functional heated towel rail on our friends room. The food was... More

My wife and I are travelling around UK and came across this on Late Rooms. 70£ breakfast inclusive. More a Pub then a B&B. Room was spacious and facilities clean. Looks like recent regurb.

We have just stayed at the Royal Oak to attend a nearby wedding. On arrival, the landlady made us feel very welcome and escourted us to our rooms personally.

The pub was exrtremly busy that night or had some sort of event going on as it was impossible to sleep for the noise. The road outside was surprisingly noisy too. Breakfast was... More
