Pros:

Great location, nice staff. Had AC and refrigirator which was perfect during my summer stay

Cons:

My room faced the stone alley and got quite loud in the morning (4-6am). Breakfast was also a bit average, not terrible but not great either, although overall I enjoyed my stay and I recommend the place.

Loved my stay at Royal Oak, this was our second visit and will return.
Pros:

The room was lovely, very clean, and air conditioned, the bathroom was great. The room was serviced every day and tea and coffee supplies restocked and complimentary. The staff are lovely and attentive, the breakfast has a great choice, with everything you could need. The location is excellent, right in the centre of beautiful Keswick.

Cons:

The bed is a little firm for me but I agree that is personal taste. There is no lift in the property, and its quite a few steps to carry your luggage to your room, no help was offered. Not suitable for anyone with mobility issues.

Lovely place, would stay again but some actions could to improve further
Pros:

Lovely air conditioned room
Central location but still quiet enough and sound dampened so you could sleep
Good selection for breakfast
Nice clean rooms

Cons:

Old building meant creaking floorboards and doors disturbed sleep
Softer closing doors may help
Restaurant service good but took up to an hour for food to be served from ordering
Flies in the restaurant a constant nuisance. Better insect control needed downstairs as it did ruin the eating experience
