"What a good place to stay! Seriously, it's one helluva place. Good food, good statf, good room."

"The Royal Oak is outstanding in every respect. If you're staying a night, its facilities are unusually generous and extensive; if you're eating, the menu and the food are great; and if you just want a drink, there's a bar area and plenty of seating outside. The staff are lovely. Plus there's plenty of local information, books, games and events, not to mention a farm shop. If you can tear yourself away, visit Wayland's Smithy a couple of miles away along the Ridgeway."

"breakfst not really fresh, like the fruits "

"I absolutely loved this property. The staff were great and bar and restaurant fabulous. Now if you want a Hilton or Travellodge this isn't for you. This is Quirky and Wonky and has stairs, no lifts. The rooms are rustic but perfectly functioning. There are cracks and wonky flooring. But its fun...well i liked it. The Bedding is clean. The bathroom was clean The TV worked, there was WIFI. Tea and coffe...great. There was no lamp in my room or Hairdryer. We asked but they didnt have. This is a very very old building but has good bones and a lovely atmosphere. Ample parking to rear of property. Beautiful outdoor area. Very quiet at night, but you may hear bar or restaurant depending on where your room is. Unfortunately i had a neighbour who was in and out and let the doors slam!! But thats no fault of the hotel. Definitely going back....just love it and the village its in"

"The consistency of room service standard was not there. One day my room was cleaned well, i had 4 bottles of water i had 4 biscuits for each of us staying in the room. The next day i had no bottles of water, no biscuits, the two extra beds were not made. I was very disappointed upon entering our room after a long day out. "

"Excellent hotel with very good rooms, quiet location on the edge of a large park. Plenty of parking and off beaten track so secure in that respect. Nice restaurant with varied menu choices; breakfast excellent. Staff welcoming and very helpful. I would definitely use this again in preference to others closer to or in the town but really need car to access."

"The pub and hotel have closed permanently. I checked my emails on the morning of the stay and had to book somewhere else at short notice. The fact that I’m being asked to review something that never happened implies that Expedia were also out of the loop 🙁"
