Probably the worse hotel i have ever stayed in. I was there for 3 nights unfortunately. This hotel advertises as a B and B but does not serve breakfast making you go to a local cafe. Totally naff. Food at the cafe was very poor so i only ate there once. Plus they will not allow you to depart from your allocated time. I only ate once in the hotel and the food there was equally appalling. The rooms have no TV's ( a first in my experience!!) and as a final insult on the last morning there was no hot water so had to have a cold shower. Avoid this place anything else would be better.

Lovely room in a nice pub; staff extremely friendly and helpful. Great breakfast over the road in the morning.

Fantastic stay at the Royal Oak. Really friendly staff, good food and lovely room. Would definitely return and highly recommend.

Clean, tidy and totally adequate accommodation, pleasant staff and good selection of ales in the bar. Breakfast served in tea room over the road. We arrived before our allocated time, and although the place was empty apart from one table of two, the proprietor suggested we were given a time for a reason and to come back later. Obviously missed the meaning of "hospitality" in the industry, or was unable to fry two eggs at once! Please stay at the Royal Oak, but dodge the Basil Fawlty breakfast experience.

The Royal Oak is in an ideal location at the heart of beautiful Cartmel, we had a comfy and clean room (RHYD), however, bizarrely no TV. Be aware, breakfast is served across the road at ‘Coffee and Stays’, and whilst it was very nice, if limited, the Royal Oak has a financial arrangement with this place that allows one cup of tea/coffee per person and one slice of toast, any more and you have to pay for it !. In all my years of travelling and staying in Hotels & B&B’s, I have never experienced this before, I feel this is totally unacceptable. Will not be returning to the Royal Oak, whilst this practice continues.

We had a lovely stay close to Christmas at the Royal Oak. It’s a gorgeous traditional pub that’s been extended with a big conservatory that leads into a fab beer garden with loads of space. our double room (Crag I think!) was immaculate, it had a modern bathroom and decor, comfy bed and plenty of tea and coffee for the stay. The food was delicious - meat eaters, vegetarians and the fussier among us all catered for very well. I had the roast beef which was brilliant and a sticky toffee pudding to finish - perfect. Staff super friendly and couldn’t do enough to help us feel comfortable.

Staff are attentive food is excellent excellent value. Lovely pub serving their own brand. Which is amazing by the way thank you so much. Will be returning soon we often come and visit I have heard that accommodation is amazing here too so I do need to book in

Fantastic New Year's Eve here! Alex, Ruth, John, Catarina and all the wonderful staff made it a night to remember! Food was delicious and fantastic service with a smile! Only disappointment this year, no fireworks in the Square but the Royal Oak made up for that!
