Great for coeliacs
We chose this hotel based on reviews praising the gluten free food and we were not disappointed. The food is excellent and the choice for coeliacs is great. The rooms are huge and very comfortable. Can’t wait to return

A wonderful find - exceptional
Absolutely lovely stay at The Royal oak. Beautifully decorated throughout, with a really warm and homely feel. Staff were welcoming, dinner and breakfast were first-class and my room was spotlessly clean with a great bathroom and comfy bed. Would definitely return, I stayed for work but it would be a lovely place for a weekend away.
