Stayed for one night whilst walking part of the Cleveland Way. The rooms are somewhat tired but the beer and friendliness of everyone goes some way to compensate for this. Didn't eat dinner here but breakfast was plentiful and well presented.

Small room and not quiet, needs a complete upgrade as dated, possible the WC could have done with a better clean. Food very reasonable and a good range of beers. No Internet connection although dis pick up a locked wifi for the place, but no code.in the room. Excellent breakfast.

A warm friendly place with lovely staff. The beer is execent. Four of us went for a meal. The starters were very good but a couple of us were slightly dissapointed with our main - my pork was overlooked. I have been here on several occasions in the past & always been happy. I will certainly go again despite my... More

I stopped here for a night and was more than happy with the room I had which was clean albeit a little tired and dated. I've stopped in plenty of Pub/Inn type places and this was more than satisfactory, the staff were friendly and the beers were good (for real ale fans too) and I can't grumble for the £55... More

Stayed here as part of our walk along the Cleveland Way which was a brilliant walk. The surrounding countryside at this hotel is hard to beat. The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful and the waiter who served us evening meal was amusing. The food is very good with a good choice - braised steak was excellent and veg... More

Vistited in a group of 6 the Oak seems a bit more restaurant and less pub at the back after its buy out. Meat eaters served well but my 'lasagne' was a small amount of veg in a dish with about 3 inches of cheese on top. Dull. Wine was nice and service friendly professional and prompt, just the usual...

We were very glad to arrive at the Royal Oak after a 20m walk from Osmotherly, and were not disappointed. The rooms were clean, a bit old fashioned in decor and furnishings, but more than adequate for our needs. The restaurant served good food, and was clearly very popular with the locals, always a good sign. I'll certainly choose this... More

Booked here for a midweek walking break. Rooms were clean with soft fluffy towels, changed daily - though not asked for. Nothing was too much trouble for the owner who gave his personal attention to most things. His evening bar/catering staff worked extremely hard and managed to cater for everyones wishes, A very popular eating establishment with a good menu-... More

We stayed here for one night (a Saturday) on our cycling holiday. We arrived to find the pub packed with folk enjoying themselves. We were given an immediate warm welcome, and were quickly shown to our room. The room was on the small side, but clean and well maintained. We quickly changed clothes and got back to the bar for...
