Royal Oak Pub

Great food. Arrived for Sunday roast on the off chance that we could get a table. Cancellation! Excellent for us, bad luck to the people before. Roast was great, as was the pudding. Lovely atmosphere and really welcoming service from the staff.

Had the the Crag room which is a good size and overlooks the square Bed was comfy and tea and coffee were available However the bathroom door was not straight and couldn’t close it and unfortunately the hotels water tank seems to be above this room and is noisy when another room uses water Lastly not sure if it happens daily but they had a delivery of barrels at 7 in the morning right under our room which obviously woke us up

So welcoming. We called in the evening without having booked and were welcomed and advised we would need to wait about 15 minutes before we could make an order for food. Really, this is so not a long wait anyway and we were so welcomed. The bar tender and waitress were both first class. We didn’t wait long for food, we were always asked if we needed a top up. The food was good as well, chicken schnitzel and the fish and chips. We have been coming to Cartmel for many years and was so happy with this visit. Well done👍

We stayed in one of the rooms above the pub for 2 nights. The room was small but cozy and charming. The bathroom was spacious with a nice walk in shower. There is a steep flight of stairs to get to the rooms so that is something to be aware of if you have mobility issues, however I managed it fine with my bad knees. Most of the time the room was very quiet. One night there was live music in the pub and that was quite loud, but they stopped at 10:30 so it didn’t interrupt our sleep. A nice breakfast is provided at one of the coffee shops across the square. We really enjoyed our visit to Cartmel and loved the experience of staying above the pub.

Fantastic entertainment and very welcoming staff,delicious food annd great value and amazing service. Fantastic ales all brew by their own brewery. I can not fault the place thanks guys we will be returning very soon with the rest of the family

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.
