Lovely breakfast and on time too. Staff are so pleasant and helpful with every need. Location is central and although the hotel is obviously old, the level of cleanliness on the inside is impressive. Especially the bathroom and toilet.

The room was very comfortable with every amenity. Staff extremely friendly and willing to go the extra mile. Made us feel very welcome and our dog.

Susan United Kingdom

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

Alice United Kingdom

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.
