The location is great and the cottage is very cosy. The owners were extremely kind and great to deal with. Would stay again :)

Laurie was lovely .we only stayed for one night, but we felt like old friends by the time we left. He was extremely accommodating of our dogs. Really thoughtful lighting the fire for us and drying our walking boots, he even played the music we liked.
Would definitely stay again if we are in the area.
It’s up for sale and needs TLC. The bones of it are great, the staff are unfriendly and a little weird!
Young lady waitress was the exception.
We had decided on the taster menu, it was not a taster, it was three starters a main and a slightly random dessert.
No alternative to mussels, which were tough, more deep fried cheese balls swapped in.
It was all entertaining, probably due to the amount of Prosecco we had… but I wouldn’t eat there again. Worth seeing the musty internals of the dining room and the very busy gardener who became the maitre de and then played piano!

A lovely village with a castle, river, woodlands, a great park under construction and a swimming pool. There are a few nice cafes, a couple of restaurants and pubs and some lovely gift shops. We ate at the 'Crown and Cushion' pub for a traditional meal and 'The Cutting Garden Cafe' for breakfast. We had a lovely stay and would definitely return.

Appleby is a stones throw from the Dales and the Lake District. The town itself is friendly with several options for food and drink. It does have a "small" weekly market and several independent shops. There are lots of walking trails and a haunted castle, a perfect hide away from city living.

We phoned up on the morning of our booking to confirm check in time. We were told they were cancelling our booking because they had no bed linen. They had not attempted to call and inform us. Be careful if you book this hotel

It was horrible from start to finish i had paid for 2 nights i left first thing in the morning after first night. It is nothing like the web says, one man that stunk of alcohol and bo checked us in he was also the cook and the bar man, one look at the state of the kitchen told me i wasnt eating in there, it wasnt even a bar it was a pop up with can of beer, to say i was devastated was an under statement , the bed squeeked all night with every movement, it was pitch black in the corridors we had to use the torches on our phones to find the room, do not go here

What a fantastic opportunity to stay in a truly memorable...
What a fantastic opportunity to stay in a truly memorable location. Yes the floors are uneven yes the things are old very old. The bathrooms are however up to date. You are a stones throw from town.
Staff were fantastic but stretched by the logistics a little. We had wifi other than that go to the bar the games room tv room or walk in the grounds….we loved it don’t go to a Castle if you want everything new…….I would recommend this to anyone who appreciates staying in a castle that is pretty much as it was in 1680s parts of it far older than that….. thanks for a great opportunity to stay in the awesome place
Immaculately presented cottage. Very comfortable. The cleanest we’ve ever stayed in. Very well equipped. Good WiFi and a smart TV so our daughters were happy. Some board games to help get the children off their screens. Ideally located in the center of Appleby within a few minutes walk of cafes, pubs and restaurants. 30 minutes drive from Keswick and Ullswater, 50 minutes from Grasmere. The hosts were very helpful and always responded within an hour of any questions we asked. We’d definitely return and are very happy to recommend.
No breakfast provided; nor was it available as chef had left. However this did not detract from our stay. The hotel is an extremely old building (18th century) but has recently been refurbished to a high standard. The bedroom was on the small side but the quality of the decor and furnishing can not be faulted. Appleby is about 4 miles away and is reached by a mainly single track road - some really good eating places.
This was my second visit to The Royal Oak. Room was really comfortable and warm. TV wasn't working but this wasn't a huge issue for us (although we let hotel staff know) We had dinner in hotel and drinks in the bar. Breakfast was really good. All staff were friendly and helpful. There is plenty of on street parking and a lovely river walk nearby. We'd definitely stay here again. Appleby is a lovely town.
Just had a fabulous two night here.
Very accommodating, friendly, entertaining. Breakfast was lovely - even catering specifically for a vegan diet, not just cobbling something together.
Easy to get to lots of walks - we did High Cup Nick, the starting point was around a 10 minute drive.
Fab location, Appleby town (it’s not a village 😆) is lovely with lots of choices for food and drinks on an evening.
everything about the royal oak is fantastic. i would highly recommend the Royal Oak to everyone.
We were a family of 3 with our Beagle cross and i can honestly say this is the best hotel we have stayed in with our pooch. the staff are very friendly and cannot do enough for you. the doggy welcome pack was amazing and not expected. the food is A*. we will be visiting again soon xx
This was our third time staying here. We just love the relaxing atmosphere, the excellent food in the restaurant. The staff are always very friendly and provide a great service. We always go on Valentines weekend and it is never too busy, it can actually feel very exclusive in this regard. The fantastic spa completes the experience
The food was excellent and the bed and bath exceptional. The staff was attentive and very helpful with our special needs as we had to stay most of our checkout day waiting for a rental car. The public areas were numerous, spacious and comfortable and all with a fantastic view of Appleby-In-Westmorland in the land below.
Spa facilities were good. Great having a limited number of people within time slots.
The hotel was comfortable, relaxing and the restaurant dining was excellent.
The bedroom was spacious with a comfortable bed and armchairs. Fluffy towels and water in room. Quiet room with a view.
Staff offered to help with luggage.
Great location within Appleby. Great little house. Would definitely recommend for a couple looking for a short break.
We had expected there was more to Appleby, it's very small but enjoyed some lovely walks. Had a nice pub meal in the Crown and Cushion, dog welcome, great landlord and staff.
Good location next to a very nice pub that does good food. Cottage is small but ideal for a couple. Log burner nice for cold nights. We actually thought the place was better than the pictures. 10 minute walk into Appleby center which is very nice.
The property is situation in the middle of Appleby which is quite convenient. Though we did not go into the main portion of the property, which appeared lovely, I wish we had stayed there.
