Fancied a night away with hubby,so booked a room here and a table,realised it clashed with the England kick off so phoned and spoke with John the landlord who was more than happy to solve my dilemna by setting us up a still romantic candlelit table in the bar by the tv!From the moment we walked into this beautiful country pub we were given such a warm welcome,staff are very attentive,the food was excellent(i had to have pud too)!After dinner we relaxed with a drink or two infront of the roaring log fire,Our room was warm clean and a really comfy bed,with flexi breakfast times and catering for vegetarians John made our short but sweet stay really magic,would recommend to anyone,and will definately return ourselves :-)

We were a table of eight and very one of us really enjoyed our meals.
Just returned from a lovely nights stay at The Royal Oak. We received a lovely welcome and Dave was so accommodating to fit in with our plans, he stayed up late for us to return from our trip out and welcomed us back and chatted despite the late time. Our room was a good size, warm and nicely furnished. The bed was so comfy we had the best night's sleep in a long time, so quiet and peaceful. Our breakfast was lovely and Dave had the log fire burning for us when we sat down. Excellent value and would love to have stayed longer. Hope to be back again soon.
David and Staff. Thank you so much for the excellent buffet you did for us on Sunday 11th Sept for Barbara's 80th birthday party. It was a lovely afternoon enjoyed by all. Please thank your staff for being so helpful and friendly.
