I stayed here while walking the Cumbria Way and it is in an excellent location. On the high street, but on the corner soon a quiet location.
The building looks fantastic and is close to shops and restaurants and cafes in Keswick, but far enough away to be away from the crowd not to be busy.
The pub and restaurant are smart and tidy and the food in the restaurant for evening meal and breakfast were excellent.
The staff were very friendly and helpful and couldn’t do enough to help. The room I stayed in was very comfy and had everything I could have wanted.
The bathroom was very smart and well equipped and even though it was a compact bathroom it was well designed.

We had a family room, it was clean, comfortable and the bathroom was newly renovated. The adjoining room with the bunk bed was very spacious.
This is an old building, so no elevator and narrow corridors but we had help with our luggage up the stairs.
Location is adjacent to the pedestrian area (lovely for a walk around) and parking is off-site about 5 min walk
away.
There is a bar and restaurant on-site and the food was good. The breakfast in the morning was excellent with a fruit and cereal buffet and hot items to order from the menu.
I would definitely recommend staying here.

Note to travellers, please state what type of bed you require, i.e. twin or double, we didn't and had twin beds pushed together which kept sliding apart. We did advice our host of this who apologised. Also if you want milk in your room you have to advise in advance or take with you from the bar.
Apart from the above comments, the room was small but extremely well appointed and beautifully decorated.
I would definitely stay again, making sure all options of room were agreed in advance.
The food was good and staff attentive, particularly to our furry friends.
Location is great to explore Keswick and parking is easy to sort.

We had a fantastic time at the Royal Oak. All of the staff were really nice and looked after us. We stayed in Room 15 which is on the top floor and is nice and cozy, very clean and had aircon. The complimentry tea, coffe and water was good quality along with the bathroom products which were also available at the shop in the main square. Breakfast was 10/10 in terms oif quality (locally sourced) and choice.

Whilst the room was done out very nicely, was nice and clean and had a great location in the town centre, it was absolutely tiny, the smallest room we have ever had. My husband and I had one large suitcase and one small/medium one. There’s hardly anywhere to put anything in the room so we had to have both cases on the floor and leave most of our stuff in the case during our stay. There was one piece of furniture comprising a rail for hanging clothes, a surface underneath that had a coffee machine on it but there was nowhere really to put it to use it, unless you wanted to have it steaming your clothes above. At the top there was a further bit of rail that had a small round mirror on it, which was handy. Below was a shelf mostly filled with a tray containing a kettle and packets of tea and coffee. There was a thin piece of surface to the left of the tray where I put my hair straighteners and about 1-2 inches of surfaces in front of the tray where I just put the jewellery I had been wearing that day. There was one drawer. There was just a tiny glass shelf in the bathroom. The bathroom was tiny, I would say a bit less than 2mx2m. The twin beds were the smallest size you can get (2.5 feet/75cm) and it felt like sleeping in a straight jacket. We decided not to let the cleaners in as they couldn’t really clean the room properly as it was such a mess as there was nowhere to put our stuff away. Breakfast was very hit and miss.

Wonderful pub and staff

Another nice stay at this lovely pub. It’s been refurbished since our last stay and it’s been done very tastefully. A warm welcome on arrival and even a room upgrade which pleased my daughter no end as was her first ever hotel stay. Room was clean and spacious and the beds comfortable. Breakfast was one of the best around. Great service and a huge menu choice. All in, a great over night stay and will hopefully be back again in the near future.

Room was tiny, about a foot between bottom of bed and wall, you had to turn sideways and watch you didn't bang your head on tv on wall. I know you have to accept its a tiny room but to put the tv there and make less room to get past is crazy with no thought, also staff doing breakfast made loads of mistakes with either getting our order wrong or takiking food to wrong tables, i saw this numerous times

Cosy and quaint

Beautiful little hotel. We booked a 'cosy' room and it was perfect for our 1 night away, even a tray outside the rooms for any muddy boots. Service was a little slow in the restaurant area at breakfast and checking out we had to find a staff member, but all in all fantastic hotel and we'd definitely go back. Perfect location with beautiful roof top views

First time and last time

The staff were amazing but we had a problem with our room as the loo wasnt working . Couldnt get a room change until the following day but it meant we had staff in and out on Saturday night trying to sort it and we had to stay dressed in our room until bed time so we could go down and use the pubs loo . The room we moved to had a considerably smaller bath room and was rather shabby . Paint peeling rotten window frames and definitely not cosy just cramped . We were very disappointed that we were not offered a small refund for the major inconvenience.

I can't speak too highly of this hotel. The staff couldn't do too much for us, they were courteous and polite at all times. The quality and choice of food was second to none, for the lake District, it was extremely competitively priced....we will be back, soon, for another break.

Really special and charming hotel. We didn’t know Keswick was such a destination for dog owners, and our only criticism of the Royal Oak was that is actually smelled like a dirty dog. It wasn’t bad enough to lessen the experience, but it wasn’t subtle.

Lovely historic inn right in the middle of Keswick. Close to everything in town, and a great hub for exploring the Lake District.

The gentleman who checked us in was very helpful, and accommodating. All the staff were pleasant and positive.

Tasty breakfast options.

Daryl, the manager, took great care of us, as did all the staff. Had two dinners and two breakfasts, all the meals were great!
There is no onsite parking so either find a parking spot on your own or pay for parking in one of the lots. There is a loading area right by the hotel door, so we were able to check in, get our luggage to our room and then find parking. There is no luggage rack or closet, except for a small open rod that had a 7-8 hangers - had to leave suitcases and bags on the floor.
Location is perfect, right in the heart of downtown.

Last night of a business trip, but have stayed previously. Super location, first class breakfast & very cosy room. Couldn’t access room to after 3pm but this wasn’t a problem. There is no parking at this hotel as it is literally on the town square. Lots of public paid parking close by or you may be fortunate to find free street parking.

The staff we met at the Royal Oak were all very helpful and friendly. The room was quite small but nicely decorated. The bathroom didn’t match the pictures on hotels.com website though, it was very small and not as new. I liked the doggy welcome pack for my dog, with a ball, chews and pop bags. The room and tea, coffee & hot chocolate, as well as lovely biscuits and sweets. There was white company toiletries, face masks and ear plugs all in the room. The little extras made this room so much better. The breakfast was fairly nice and the pub served food on the evening. We didn’t eat there because it was quite pricey for the type of food. The place is located right in the centre of Keswick and was a great base. The room was quite hot, but there was a fan. We would stay again if the price was reasonable.

Second stay satisfaction!

Very central spot to stay in Keswick, as we made our second visit to the Keswick Mountain Festival. Very friendly - to humans and dogs!
We had the same room as last time, which was fine, but it is difficult to keep the room cool - even in May - especially as there is a fair bit of town noise if you leave the windows as open as permitted. I do think this needs looking at.
Breakfast, dinner and bar service was great, with very friendly staff throughout!

A lovely spot in the heart of Keswick

This was a great spot, right in the centre of Keswick. Delicious breakfast included and warm, friendly service. The room was spacious and nicely appointed. Our only complaint was that it was quite warm and difficult to cool down in the evening, even with fan on and windows open.

2nd Visit

We stayed here in 2021 and loved it so came back, It seems to have new owners/management so has changed somewhat, This stay we were in a very small and very hot room (maybe above the kitchen? It wasn't warm outside) and although it was clean - the drain smell from the bathroom was strong.(Room 1)
Staff were nice - very dog friendly.

Or stay in a signature double room for 2 nights in June was very much enjoyed. The staff were excellent, Daryll and Marianne thank you. Welcomed dogs. Fantastic location. Parking in the main Keswick capital was not a problem - cheap at £12:50 for 24 hours and dropping off suitcases was easy.
We are on the restaurant and the food was great. Breakfast was top notch. We would stay again. Thank you to all staff.

Property was fine. Our issue was that we wanted to reduce our stay to 2 nights instead of 3. We tried the phone numbers provided by Expedia but could not reach the hotel in advance. We even had our hotel try them and no answer. So as a result we were not able to provide them advance notice. We informed them that we would only be staying 2 of the 3 nights, but they would not give us any refund whatsoever. They even charged us for the breakfast on the day we were not there. The attendants kept saying they there was nothing they could do. My biggest issue is that if I could have reached them in advance and confirmed that I would be charged the full amount, It would have influenced my decision on making the change in the first place. Bottom line is that that they were very difficult to reach and communicate with.

We stayed at The Royal Oak this weekend. We loved it from start to finish. Room was lovely. Spacious and comfortable. We did get an upgrade which was a very lovely surprise. Breakfast was 5 star. We had dinner in the hotel one of the nights - again it was amazing. Very busy but that shows how good it is. Overall we loved it and would definitely recommend it to others. The staff were so welcoming, friendly and helpful which really adds to the experience. Our dog even got treated like royalty! Thank you for making our little break so great. We’ll definitely return!

From the time checked in the housekeeping hosts sought to make sure we had what we needed and were comfortable. We needed to leave earlier than breakfast serving time to catch our train and the kitchen was kind enough to send us with a take away. I’d highly recommend this hotel because of their attentiveness to us personally.

Keswick Break

From the moment we arrived to the minute we left, the hospitality we received from the warm welcoming, friendly staff was incredible. Our dog was spoilt rotten with love and treats. Both Sunday lunch and Breakfast were beautiful. Our room was modern and very clean. But without doubt the staff make this such a special place.
