As musicians we stay in a lot of hotels and we were delighted with our stay at The Royal Oak. The staff are friendly and efficient, the room was super with a comfy bed, large modern bathroom and spotlessly clean all around. Meals were good value and very tasty and the whole place seemed to be very well run. We'd certainly visit again and wish the Royal Oak team every success for the future.

Large, comfortable room with a modern en-suite. Very amenable and accommodating hosts with nice ideas such as putting on complimentary food in the bar during England World Cup games. We had a “simple” pie & chips from the menu and it was terrific with, as promised, real gravy. We didn’t have full English breakfast but the toast on the Continental option from a local artisan baker was fab. Lots of little touches that make the Royal Oak a little different from the ordinary.

Lovely traditional pub, nice rooms, clean and tidy and equipped with all the essentials. Good menu and helpful service in pub. I phoned ahead to advise of a late arrival (flight delayed) and they were kind enough to accept our food order after usual end of service time. We were most grateful. There's a pleasant outside seating area and lots of inside seating. Board games galore. Highly recommend.

Lovely hotel for a few days while at a wedding.
Clean and spacious room with effective shower.
Coincided with the Chester Folk Festival in the village, so evenings were really lively.
As we were with friends in the village, we didn't have a main meal at the pub / hotel, but my daughter's snack was excellent. The menu had plenty of choices.
Only disappointment was that cooked breakfasts were not available, but a good selection of light food was provided.
The staff are very welcoming and friendly.
Excellent bar with four draft beers.

Looking for a convenient location to stay while over watching the bikes at Oulton Park. Brilliant location and brilliant stay. Rooms were clean and spacious with a comfy bed. Staff were brilliant, both behind and front of bar. Ate there 2 nights, fantastic both times. Another cracking pub within walking distance. Continental breakfast spot on. Would I stay again, without a doubt.

Check in was straight forward, and we were shown to our room. Room was clean and ready for us. After showering and getting changed , we went to the bar for a beer. Good choice of beers , and the bar staff were very friendly. Enjoyed our food there too. Breakfast was lovely , and we left feeling refreshed and well fed. We were walking the Sandstone Trail , so it was an ideal stop over for us. Highly recommended

Really lovely

The room was lovely-much better than I’d expected. The staff were very friendly. We had an evening meal and although the menu range was quite limited, I still had trouble choosing and what you are eventually served with is high quality and presented really carefully. The only blot on the copybook was that my Mum, who I was sharing with, was the first to use the toilet and on lifting the lid was greeted by a bowl full of pungent waste. Other than that this was a lovely place to locate ourselves for access to Oulton Park

The hotel was perfect for what we wanted ie: to have somewhere to stay near our son. Unfortunately the people in the next room were having a party until 1.30am and had the tv on until 2am. We could hear everything, conversations and the programme on the tv. We were unable to sleep. This is not the hotel’s fault but it did spoil our stay. We will stay again and hope other guests will be more considerate next time.

We had breakfast which was great apart from our toast arrived some time after breakfast, seems a bit petty but they weren’t busy and a really simple fix, they also only brought white so I had to go and find someone for some brown. However, the breakfast was nice.

Fabulous stay and a hidden gem of a hotel!!

Absolutely amazing stay. Definitely one of the best hotels we have been to. The exterior hides an absolute gem of a hotel. Inside the restaurant was amazing and food was not only fantastic but ample in quantity. The bar and dining area was fabulous ... Especially the round table room which anyone staying must look at. We had intended to dine in Chester but after having lunch decided to have dinner there instead and was not disappointed. The breakfast again was out of this world and for less than a tenner each. just amazing!! Every single member of staff were super friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The room was clean and had a fabulous night's sleep. We have stayed in numerous hotels and this has to be one of the best. We shall certainly return.

The perfect evening

We were made to feel welcome from the very moment we arrived… we were escorted up to our room, which was lovely, then given all the information regarding restaurant and bar times. We went back down to the bar where we were given a very cosy little snug area! The bar staff and restaurant staff were just amazing! They made me and my partner feel like we were the only folk in the place despite it being busy! They’d got banter too, which is never a bad trait to have in a pub! Food was fantastic and I can say, hand on heart, the Bakewell pudding was the best dessert I’d had in my entire 52 years on this earth! Wholly recommend and will most definitely be returning! 10/10 for me and the Mrs ✅

The staff were absolutely fantastic, and made the stay thoroughly enjoyable. The rooms were comfy and had a lovely cosy feel. The restaurant downstairs served home made foods which meant we didn’t have to wander far to eat after our night out. All in all it was a lovely stay and I would come here again.

Another stay at The Royal Oak

Another stay at Royal Oak, only people staying there that night due Covid i assume. However, we were put in the front room which had a light on outside ALL night!!! Black out curtains need to be fitted as it looked like daylight all night

We frequently have to travel and stay in hotels through our work so our standards are high. This was a great stay. Booked really last minute for 1 night to allow a visit to a family member. In advance of the stay, reception was very responsive when I had a query. When we arrived we were checked in quickly and escorted up to our room. The room was large, bright and well decorated. The bathroom was modern. Breakfast the next morning was very good. Overall an excellent stay!

Me & my husband stayed here last night. Lovely spacious room. Had our evening meal there too. We are Vegans and the food was delicious. The lady serving us was so friendly and couldn’t do enough to make our stay enjoyable. Will definitely go back

Superb from start to finish.
Wonderfully freshly prepared food and served at a lovely hot temperature.
We’ve stayed in many hotels around the world and no one compares to the friendly, attentive and welcoming staff of the Royal Oak in Kelsall.
Our room was spacious, clean and and tastefully furnished.
Would love to stay again, but also happy to travel the distance for either lunch or dinner.

Very good service, food/breakfast excellent!!!

Booked hotel to visit family who live in Kelsall, yes hotel is in Kelsall and not Tarporley as the Hotel.com website states.

Very nice pub/hotel, the breakfast is excellent, food in the restaurant is very good. Although a pub the bar doesn't stay open late. In fact the last Holiday Inn Express had a bar that stayed open later!!!!!

Staff excellent, friendly and great service, always happy to help

Room 204 very low ceilings and being over 6ft had to duck a few times as it is up in the roof space and the rafters are too low..

Would i stay again, Yes but not in the same room and ill find a pub to drink in
