Just popped in for a wee drink on a very cold day and was met with very kind staff. Lovely old pub. Very warm and welcoming. They also had the cleanest and warmest toilets I?ve ever been in.

Stayed here for two nights for work.When booking the room on their website, it clearly stated "with breakfast". When I got to the hotel/pub I was informed there was no breakfast due to kitchen cleaning.When I stated that I had paid for breakfast, I was met with a blank, unapologetic expression just re-iterating that it was closed in a manner that I had made a mistake..The following day, this patern of there mistake being my problem continued, with the statement that I had paid a reduced rate for the room and that's how it is.Once again I iterated that this was their mistake, and due to having to be at a customers early, I only pick hotels with breakfast. As such, it was not the cost that bothered me but the inconvenience although technically acording to there website i had paid for breakfast which they just seemed to ignore.That being said, they are still on the expensive side for a below average basic room with a tiny tv weak electric shower (with leaking surround) and terrible parking.The only slightly redeeming feature was how loyal the staff was to the owner, but unfortunately, this had the side effect of them being unprofessional towards me with only the second member of staff accepting my perspective after producing my receipt.I base my review on staying in hotels everywhere up and down the country, sometimes three different ones in a week, and all in all, I found this to be a poor experience.

Entry into the car park rear yard is done through builders type fencing.The pub was decorated like a grotto with local yocals!If you like Kareoke this is the place for you.The rear card was cluttered with garbage ? and an odd smokers tent !The room was clean but the bathroom was clinical like a care home.Breakfast not provided " Oh we are having a deep clean" says it all.

We've been staying at the Old Royal Oak for a Saturday night every January now for I think five years now, sometimes in the summer.We keep coming back as hardworking Rob and Sharon are very welcoming. The pub and our rooms are excellent as always. They usually provide a nice breakfast. Last Saturday though Rob said unfortunately the kitchen is out of use and been refurbished which is good for hygiene and reliability of the service. They've been living on takeaways while the work has been going on. Rob told us about the situation when arrived and we were totally fine about it, and paid a bit less because of that. We were happy to book with them again.
