The Royal Oak 1st Bad Review
Very Poor Standard - My wife and I booked the executive double room for a 2 night stay, £330 inc breakfast. On arrival asked to see the room we were allocated, we were only allowed to peer through the doorway, as apparently if we were to walk into the room it would require stripping and deep cleaning again due to Covid19. We signed into the hotel, went into the room, and were extremely disappointed at what we found. The room and en-suite bathroom in particular bore no resemblance to the photographs displayed on Booking.com. Hotel refused to give a full refund or offer an alternative room, as we had checked in, even though we had to do this to view the room. We left in disgust with the Royal Oak and their misrepresentation of the rooms they advertise. We walked 100 metres down the road to the Inn On The Square, checked in for 2 nights there, the rooms were superb, as advertised, and the service and food were exceptional. I certainly would not recommend The Royal Oak Hotel in Keswick to anyone.

The Royal Oak 3rd Bad Review ... Poor stay - We arrived and had a very unwelcoming greet from younger male FOH staff member - immediately telling us that if we hadn’t booked in with them for dinner during our stay then we had no chance of eating any night we were there. He showed us to our tiny room and continued to lecture us in there about ‘covid’ and ‘staycations’ implying our only hope for evening food would be to take a picnic to the lake. Don’t let this put you off, we actually ate out every night without booking in some lovely restaurants (recommend the Fellpack, Brasserie 31 and Brossen to name a few)! The food there was much nicer than what the food at The Royal Oak appeared to be. Breakfast staff much more welcoming and helpful. Bed small and uncomfortable. Room did not smell very nice, and marks / paint bubbling on walls made the small room unsightly. On our penultimate day, there was no water at all at The Royal Oak (taps, toilets, shower). Nobody informed us proactively and we had to ask downstairs what was happening. We were told it was impacting the whole of Keswick however that night we ate out at Brossen and the water was fine there! Wasn’t able to shower / use tap water / toilet for 24 hours+ with no apology or communication from staff and so didn’t want to imagine how they were able to cook breakfast on our last morning without any water for kitchen staff to wash hands - decided to leave very early and grab breakfast on the way home!
