Staff really friendly and helpful. There were a few plumbing issues with the bathroom and the windows could have done with a clean, but otherwise the room was great and well provisioned with tea and coffee. A complimentary in-room breakfast was provided, which we weren't expecting. Would visit again.

We loved staying at the Royal Oak . Would go again. Wonderful Sunday lunch. Staff couldn’t do enough for you. Only thing’s needs to be worked on , Our lovely modern room had nowhere to sit & dry your hair .. Only needs a mirror . No draws to put cloths in , only four coat hangers . No shower gel or shampoo. Just a bit of hand gel at the bottom of a dispenser. Just things you tend to expect. The pub is well situated, locals very friendly. Lots of things to do in the area.

Very friendly lady checked us in and showed us to our room, which was very clean and there was an actual bath in the bathroom, which is quite unusual these days! We didn’t expect breakfast, but there was a hamper containing continental breakfast, and a fridge with milk, water and orange juice. The kitchen wasn’t open on the evening we stayed, so we ate at The Prince of Kent Indian restaurant next door (which was also very good). The bed was comfortable and my only criticism was there was no mirror in the bedroom, but all in all, great value for money.

What a great stay! The room was lovely, spacious, clean and really nicely decorated. The breakfast hamper was a lovely touch. The bathroom was massive and had a bath in it as well as a shower which was great. I really wasn’t expecting it to be so good as the price was low. We would definitely stay again.

Firstly at the website where we book the hotel, the location was at cranbrook, and clearly you are not in Cranbrook. Stay in a hotel, didn’t get a proper receptionist, was a barman to give us the key. The bed sheets were dirty, stained, the walls were moldy. For the price that we paid for a night wasn’t worth it. Definitely not come back.

Had a lovely stay at the Royal Oak. The staff were really friendly and Neil was super helpful carrying my heavy suitcase up the stairs and then down again on departure. The room was cozy and had all the amenities: flat screen tv, kettle and a radio. I loved the continental breakfast hamper; It was so nice to not have to go down to get breakfast in the morning (especially as I was feeling quite tired) because the breakfast hamper was already in the room complete with a coffee machine, kettle and mini fridge with milk, juice and water. This way I was able to choose a time that suited me to have my breakfast. The hotel's pub served food; the fish was well made (I ordered fish and chips). Hotel had free parking on its premises and it was in a good location - high street with shops, plus close proximity to other attractions; I went to Scotne Castle which was about 15 minutes drive away. Overall I had an enjoyable stay and would recommend.
