Loved the old 17th century beams in the rooms and the uneven floors. Property was very quiet - even with the Football World Cup semi-final on while we were there. Staff were all incredibly helpful and loved the breakfast. 100% recommend and would love to take my dog next time as they are very dog friendly (they get a sausage at breakfast!).

This is a really cute, 400 (ish) year old pub. The location is great as well. We asked for a vegan breakfast is it was no problem, and it was tasty. My only issue is less likely to be a problem for most people, but as someone with mobility issues, the very uneven floors led to a lot of tripping. My husband had no issues at all. Overall, I would recommend this hotel.

Parking was easy being right outside the property.
A lovely lady called us to check our arrival time as we had booked an evening meal and the last order time was 8pm and she didn't want us to miss out.
We had a lovely evening meal, with it being their weekly Pie night it really hit the spot after a long journey!
Our room was very spacious and extremely comfortable too.
There were lots breakfast options and what we both had was delicious.
We will definitely return as this place is a real gem. And being centrally located for visiting family, the Yorkshire dales and the Lake District the location is perfect.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Royal Oak. The room was basic, but clean and adequate. The bed was comfortable. We ate dinner there as well and it was delicious. The breakfast was good. My husband got the full English and I got scrambled eggs and bacon. The scrambled eggs seemed to be the rehydrated kind, but otherwise the meal was good. We would stay here again.

The whole hotel was spotless, everyone was so kind, nothing was a problem, a special shout out to Sarah, she was always on hand, friendly and happy to help, it makes a big difference to a happy stay. Food was good and hot, room was warm and bed was fab with proper pillows, not the small hard rocks that other hotel favour! This is our second stay and it is a great base to explore the lakes from. Highly recommended.

This hotel has friendly staff with a warm welcome, good food and is good value for money. It was convenient and comfortable. It’s an old building, so it’s not all modern and pristine, but it does have character and we feel that we had good value for what we paid. It was a very cold spell and our room was very chilly for a good few hours on arrival, but it did warm up and was warm and comfy all night. We sat by the cosy fire in the pub and relaxed. Everywhere in the hotel was clean, extra large bed was comfy and all our laundry items were clean and fresh.
If you are looking for the pristine surroundings of a modern hotel, then you should pay double the price and consider going elsewhere. If you are happy with a friendly atmosphere, and a little dated, but very clean surroundings, we would recommend this hotel. I think that the price is very fair for the service, room and food that we received. Thank you to all for our comfy overnight stay.

The property is good and being a listed building limits the owner on what he can di with respect to windows . Therefore the road noise at the front of the building was an issue for us. The booking company we used Expedia did not inform the owner of our choice of a garden facing room so they spoilt our stay. The staff were excellent and we would stay again

Overnight stay on way to Scotland

The Inn is very quirky, being extremely old. The staff were very attentive. Everything was just perfect and the food in the restaurant was really good. Staff at breakfast were really efficient and again the food was superb.

The staff were very polite and helpful. The property was absolutely spotless. We went over New Years Eve and didnt have any problem booking tables for good tasty food.
Menu had a great choice and the breakfast had a wide selection which was included in the price of the booking

One of the more unique centuries old properties. Town was interesting and historical. Good location for visiting upper Dales and not far from Lake District.

We had a really lovely overnight stay here on our way back from the Highlands. The food was great and although Room 1 wasn't particularly quiet, the noise from the pub didn't continue too late and I had ear plugs which helped me sleep too so I'd recommend doing the same. The staff there were all really lovely and we felt very welcome. The breakfast was great, the room was full of character and we'd definitely stay there again!

Little Gem

Little Gem - Excellent hotel, clean, well decorated. Professional and attentive staff. We were offered a substantial menu, our selections were served hot and time had been taken setting out the food on the plate.
Very dog friendly.
Highly recommended.

Overall a great place to stay. Even though we didn’t have a dog, our room went out on to the pub garden and would be ideal for those taking their dog away with them.

This is a place that has worked out all the small details to make for a perfect stay. The dog friendly touches were super and the rooms were lovely. We had a garden view room which was terrific for our dog with a small garden off the patio doors in the room. The food was great and even has a dog menu and the service was exceptional - every member of staff was just a delight and couldn’t be more helpful - that’s the difference here - all genuinely interested in making your stay memorable

Nice B&B

Lovely B&B with the pub restaurant downstairs so it was easy to relax in the one place after a day out walking. And a nice breakfast in the morning. Staff were very friendly and food was good.

Well worth a visit.

Had a couple of nights away at the Royal Oak. Garden room 5, room was pleasant with access to the garden. Lovely large comfortable bed, clean and tidy. Issue with tv but was delt with by the hotel staff promptly. Staff were friendly and professional. Special mention to the chef, the cooked breakfasts and both evening meals were excellent. Will certainly be booking a return visit in the future.

Great place to stay, very friendly and helpful staff. Only two minor things to be aware of: limited choice of food on the menue at 8pm on Sunday after a busy day, and noise from the outside bar terrace although it did stop by 11.30pm as promised. Overall an excellent stay.

Fantastic place to stay

Great place to stay. The owners and staff are very welcoming. The room was very clean and a fabulous comfortable big bed. It is a gorgeous old pub with a great atmosphere and delicious food. Very good selection of food for breakfast. Easy stroll into town and to the castle. Highly recommend this place.
