Wonderful weekend

A lovely 2 night stay. The Royal Oak had everything we needed. The bedroom and bathroom were spacious and airy. We appreciated the quiet room as we had early starts at the nearby Oulton Park race circuit. Lovely garden areas too and welcoming and helpful manager. We will make this our hotel of choice when in the area.

Lovely old building, spacious rooms

Room was lovely, spacious , bathroom was spacious and clean. Shower was great. Building is really old so big high ceilings old windows etc . Would definitely stay again. We had breakfast which was great apart from our toast arrived some time after breakfast, seems a bit petty but they weren’t busy and a really simple fix, they also only brought white so I had to go and find someone for some brown. However, the breakfast was nice.

The hotel was in a good area and the entrance from the car park was welcoming. However although it didn't look dirty, our table in the dining room was very sticky and the back of our bathroom door was grubby around the handle. Also the bedside table wasn't clean.

Fabulous stay and a hidden gem of a hotel!!

Absolutely amazing stay. Definitely one of the best hotels we have been to. The exterior hides an absolute gem of a hotel. Inside the restaurant was amazing and food was not only fantastic but ample in quantity. The bar and dining area was fabulous ... Especially the round table room which anyone staying must look at. We had intended to dine in Chester but after having lunch decided to have dinner there instead and was not disappointed. The breakfast again was out of this world and for less than a tenner each. just amazing!! Every single member of staff were super friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The room was clean and had a fabulous night's sleep. We have stayed in numerous hotels and this has to be one of the best. We shall certainly return.

The perfect evening

We were made to feel welcome from the very moment we arrived… we were escorted up to our room, which was lovely, then given all the information regarding restaurant and bar times. We went back down to the bar where we were given a very cosy little snug area! The bar staff and restaurant staff were just amazing! They made me and my partner feel like we were the only folk in the place despite it being busy! They’d got banter too, which is never a bad trait to have in a pub! Food was fantastic and I can say, hand on heart, the Bakewell pudding was the best dessert I’d had in my entire 52 years on this earth! Wholly recommend and will most definitely be returning! 10/10 for me and the Mrs ✅
