“The Royal Oak Hotel provides a casual stay, enhanced by an on-site restaurant and bar; the garden offers a particularly nice touch, as does the convenience of free WiFi and parking. It's true that some maintenance issues have been raised, and consistency could be improved. Still, its location near Peak District National Park and family-friendly accommodations are worth considering.”

perfect locationfriendly staffgood foodcomfortable bed

I found a great location for exploring the peak district with my family. The staff was friendly and cute. We enjoyed dinner at the hotel's restaurant. The food was very good and of high quality. The beds were quite comfortable.

The room was a little too warm, as i struggled to adjust the heating controls to a cooler setting. i managed to solve this by opening a window.

The restaurant offered a good meal with fast service. The staff seemed lovely and they were very polite. The room included a comfy bed, and I found a hairdryer was available at reception. Free parking behind the hotel was useful.

The heating was difficult to control. My room was like a sauna. I had to keep windows open. The pillows weren't very comfortable, I think they were old. I did find spares in the hallway.
