Royal Oak Pub

Staying in a room above a village pub is a unique experience. Our rooms at the Royal Oak were small but comfortable. The bathroom was modern and spacious. There is a steep flight of stairs to access the rooms so if you have mobility challenges that would be something to consider. It was pretty noisy in the evenings but quieted after 10:30-11:00 so we slept well. The location was great- right on the village square. I would recommend it for the experience

Great pub in the centre of Cartmel with lovely pub food and great entertainment

We stayed in Crag which is at the front of the hotel . It was a large spacious room with a comfortable bed . We did not eat at the Royal Oak - you get breakfast across the square. I was v happy with our accommodation. It is worth pointing out that although the room is above the pub we had no noise from the bar area . 2 things that might be worth pointing out are a) there is no TV in the room and b) parking is only limited to 1-2 hours in the village but longer stay is available at the racecourse which is 2 mins walk for £10 per night ( the signs said it was more but the machine only charged us £10 ) or by the school 7 mins walk away which is free .

Avoid this place if you want a relaxing night away. Honestly I feel cheated that this has been sold as a hotel. It’s basically a pub with a couple of rooms rented out. Live music in the bar played till late which meant zero relaxation and terrible sleep. This place should be reported for false selling. Nowhere in the property description did I read I d sleeping in a room above a bar with loud music. And to top it off no TV s in the rooms - never came across this before. Absolute shambles and waste of money.

Lovely pub in a lovely village. The staff were very nice and helpful. We stayed one night in Ghyll. The room was spacious and clean with a nice bathroom. The bed was comfortable and the shower was good. There was no loud noise from the pub or outside. We had an evening meal in the pub. It was good food - decent portions, delicious & hot. The pub has a super beer garden out the back. We had breakfast which is over the road - this was also very nice. We only had one hot drink included in the breakfast but didn’t mind paying for another. We would stay again!!
