excellent customer service from staff, clean, tidy, neat, fantastic food

Another superb stay at the Royal Oak. Always clean and comfortable, a great management team and staff where nothing is too much trouble and our dogs love it as they get sausages for breakfast! Its position is perfect for exploring Keswick and the wider Lake District areas. In our opinion, it’s the best place to stay.
