Reviews of The Royal Oak Inn

The location is spot on. Parking is a bit of tricky.

Where did i start. 1. We were given a very monotone greeting on arrival as if we were an inconvenience. 2. The bill was paid on check in full and were directed to our room. 3. Given the amount we had paid we were not impressed. Understanding that it was at the height of the season we believe the payment was inordinate. 4. We noted the room was tiny, no evident from the pictures. The TV mounted on the wall was not new and I could access a USB port, and when doing so noted that the rear od the TV had clearly not been cleaned in some time and when the room had been painted there put paint on the TV. 4. Given we noted the dust, we checked the rest of the room and bathroom. The shower head was covered with mildew/mold, there was mold on the ceiling and the left side of the shower. There was dust on top of all the pictures and the underneath the bed which is quite thick. Clearly these rooms are not given a thorough clean at all. Even the wall above the bed was covered in dust. 5. The pillows had hairs on them. 6. We decided given my partners health not to be confrontational. 7. There were no towels or hand towels in the room and we had asked for them. 8. We booked a table for our evening meal and a simple missing peas with one of our dishes did nothing to improve our view of the establishment. 9. Our breakfasts were not as asked, and on the last day, my partner sausage was cremated, any cook nevermind a chef would have not served it. We should point out that the rooms issues have all been evidenced by photographs, which you will be aware are dated and time stamped when taken. All in all a very disappointing experience given the cost, which was certainly not worth it!!!! Frankly, there should be a 50% reimbursement.

It was a good location. Breakfast was nice.

The lady was not very welcoming on arrival. She didn't seem very happy. And when we came down for breakfast, she looked fed up. When my husband ordered his hot food, she made a patronising comment about how he ordered it. The shower in our room didn't work very well, and the grout in the tiles was dirty and mouldy in places. The parking at the property was very tight.

It was in close vicinity to the lake and the shops.

The car parking is very tight, only a few spaces available.

Yes staff very friendly food was good couldn't fault the place

Two young ladies working the evening were lovely and very helpful. Really great fresh home cooked breakfast.

No water in the room

Breakfast was fantastic. We stayed in the budget room. The bed was cosy and the room was nice for a little getaway. The only thing was the room was absolutely boiling hot!! Not sure if this was due to being on the top floor. Staff were all very friendly and made us feel welcomed as soon as we arrived. Other than the room being a tad hot we both absolutely loved our little trip and will 100% be back! . Thankyou

Room was a tad too hot.

Room was spacious. Everything you need.
