The Royal Oak Duddington

Receptionist was very polite. Food was very good. Rooms complete opposites. Am in 20-30 hotels a year. That was the second worst I‘ve ever been. Very dirty and unkempt. Milliliter thick dust, in every corner spider cobwebs, 4 big spiders in the room, nothing clean and shine, soiled mattress, dirty beddings and hairs.. Carpet very dirty. Guess they have no hoover. Last cleaning months ago. No water pressure in the shower. In the morning around 7 restaurant was closed. No Chance to get a morning coffee. room: -5 stars Restaurant: +5 Service: 2 Will never go there again and will nobody give a recommendation for it

Felt this place is just hanging on by its fingertips. We didn’t see anyone else in the bar all evening and there were only two other diners. The food was fine and the one barman / waiter on duty was friendly and helpful. There was no breakfast available so we had to drive about three miles to the sister pub in another village, where the one staff member seemed surprised to see us. Our room was clean, if a bit tired. The landing and stairway looked like they hadn’t been hoovered for many weeks. Traffic noise all night from thundering main road a few yards away. We’ll probably stay somewhere else if in area again.

It`s getting there. friendly and helpful staff, bedroom was clean and adequate for a short stay if a bit noisy as it overlooked the main road. We had some bathroom issues in that there was no hot water to the basin or bath (there was a shower) plus the toilet seat was in need of replacement however issues are bound to occur in this trade and its how you deal with them, this was dealt with financially and very quickly. The menu was limited but the food was excellent, breakfast was also very good, no continental option though. A lot of effort has gone into the "pub" side of things, if the care and attention carries on into the accommodation then this will be a winner.

Lovely place to stay, great staff, great food, comfy clean room, decent shower and a bath which is great (Premier Inn take note)

Great food.

Just spent a quiet and comfortable night at The Royal Oak… Room was comfortable and spotlessly clean. We enjoyed two very tasty meals, dinner and Breakfast. My husband had the Muton Burger for dinner which he said was probably the best burger he had ever eaten.. I had a lovely vegetarian option and desert. Thinking dinner couldn’t be beaten, the next morning we had a fantastic full breakfast with sausages and eggs, sourced locally. We read the reviews on The Royal Oak and can say that if you are looking for a quiet, comfortable time away with home comforts and good food, give The Royal Oak a try.
