My wife and I have just spent a very pleasant weekend at the Royal Oak. And I have to say the hotel was very nice. Room number 5 was clean and warm the bed was comfy. The breakfast choices was adequate we had a full English one day and pancakes on the next . We had one evening meal which was Excellent. The staff were friendly and efficient.We will definitely come again in the future.

We came across The Royal Oak by chance and are very glad we did. The room was lovely, the staff were extremely helpful and welcoming, they loved our two (occasionally troublesome! collies and the food was absolutely lovely.

Booked for 3 nights over Burghley Horse Trials weekend. Waited 1 hour 15 minutes to be receive our breakfast on the first morning. The girl working wasn't coping well, despite it wasn't busy. Other people were also unhappy. Breakfast was lovely when it finally arrived. Pre ordered the following day, as didn't want that wait again. Lady serving was much more orderly and again breakfast was lovely. Tried to pre order for Sunday morning only to be told the kitchen didn't open until 9am on a Sunday, despite the info board saying 8am. Disappointing. Had dinner on the Saturday night and service was very slow. Kettle stopped working, was given one with quite a bit of grit inside. Tea/coffee/milk wa...
