Guest Reviews
Very big comfy bed, and delicious hearty food in the pub downstairs with lovely friendly staff. Very quiet area and up to date bathrooms.
All was good
I asked to change my room (see below) and was given a wonderful room at the top of the building and the remainder of my stay was perfect. I just wish I had been in this room throughout!
The first room I was in was rather small, overlooked the kitchen and was extremely hot and noisy due to the kitchen extract. I appreciate this is difficult to avoid, but I felt this room should be offered at a reduced rate.
This is a traditional and very popular pub with decent parking, a few minutes drive from Keswick. Our room had no noise from the pub, and had all we required and a good bathroom. We ate in the pub on two occasions and were very pleased. Braithwaite itself is small with few shops, but in a beautiful location close to the mountains.
Breakfast was not available in the pub, but there were 2 or 3 cafes nearby where you could get something.
The location was great but unfortunately that is the only positive I can take away from staying here
Very disappointing stay, and frankly not a standard I would expect from a hotel.
The cleanliness of the room was completely unacceptable. There were multiple hairs left around the room, including hairs in the shower, as well as visible stains. Finding someone else’s hair and stains in a room that is supposed to have been cleaned before a guest’s arrival is extremely unpleasant and raises serious questions about the standard of housekeeping.
I have photographic evidence of the issues I found, so these are not simply matters of personal opinion or minor complaints.
The remote control was also missing a battery, meaning even this basic room facility was not ready for use.
What has made the experience even more disappointing is the hotel’s response to my complaint. I contacted the property through Booking.com to raise these issues and, at the time of writing, the property has not responded to my complaints at all.
Cleanliness is the absolute bare minimum when paying to stay in a hotel. Unfortunately, that basic standard was not met here, and the complete lack of response when I raised the issues has only added to my disappointment. Based on my experience, I would not stay here again and cannot recommend this property.
The location was great. It's close to Keswick, which is a lovely town, and the western Lakes, such as Crummock Water, Loweswater and Buttermere. Braithwate itself is pretty, and quiet.
The Royal Oak is well known for it's steak and ale pies, and rightly so. They were absolutely delicious.I should mention the veg that goes with the pies; the mash and gravy blended perfectly, the carrots were just right and the red cabbage gave a nice bit of tartness set against the richness of the pie.
Also, the bar is well stocked with good local beers
Having complimented the range of beers, I must say that it would have been nice to have a little more in the way of choice of wines. The limited choice may be because there is not much demand for wine there.

Problem with the shower and the television
This is my second stay at the Royal Oak. I like the location, the food, staff and rooms are well maintained and comfortable.
The carpets throughout the property are dirty and a little smelly. This is the only negative that I have about the property.
