Royal Oak Pub

Had the the Crag room which is a good size and overlooks the square Bed was comfy and tea and coffee were available However the bathroom door was not straight and couldn’t close it and unfortunately the hotels water tank seems to be above this room and is noisy when another room uses water Lastly not sure if it happens daily but they had a delivery of barrels at 7 in the morning right under our room which obviously woke us up

We stayed in one of the rooms above the pub for 2 nights. The room was small but cozy and charming. The bathroom was spacious with a nice walk in shower. There is a steep flight of stairs to get to the rooms so that is something to be aware of if you have mobility issues, however I managed it fine with my bad knees. Most of the time the room was very quiet. One night there was live music in the pub and that was quite loud, but they stopped at 10:30 so it didn’t interrupt our sleep. A nice breakfast is provided at one of the coffee shops across the square. We really enjoyed our visit to Cartmel and loved the experience of staying above the pub.

Probably the worse hotel i have ever stayed in. I was there for 3 nights unfortunately. This hotel advertises as a B and B but does not serve breakfast making you go to a local cafe. Totally naff. Food at the cafe was very poor so i only ate there once. Plus they will not allow you to depart from your allocated time. I only ate once in the hotel and the food there was equally appalling. The rooms have no TV's ( a first in my experience!!) and as a final insult on the last morning there was no hot water so had to have a cold shower. Avoid this place anything else would be better.
