Nice room with very good tasty breakfast. Only downside was the loud sounds coming from the pub and bear garden until the pub closed, then fine.

Great break at Knaresborough

A wonderful 3 nights at the Royal Oak in Knaresborough, amazing breakfasts, great service, really comfy and cosy room, ideally placed for local events (like the market) and for trips to Ripon & Harrogate. We'd recommend it to everyone.

The room was a good size but only a standard double bed. The mattress was a bit lumpy in places. The bathroom was a good size and although the shower was good the tile grout was quite black in places. The breakfast was excellent. An adequate room for one night

Disappointed

The staff were friendly, although a bit scruffy, but the service was good. The bedroom was fine, and clean towels provided regularly but there was no cleaning done in the room or shower room during our stay. The shower was quite disgusting down to lack of cleaning over a period of time. Wouldn’t stay there again. The photos on the website showed a better picture than the place actually was.
