We stayed here with friends. From the moment we arrived the staff were friendly and helpful. Our rooms were on the top floors and as there isn't a lift  the girl on the bar took the heaviest case up for us. She offered to take the rest too.  The cleaner had just returned from her holiday and our rooms were cleaned and everything was replenished.  If we needed anything the staff were happy to help. Breakfast is of high quality and there is a good choice. We ate in the restaurant, again, a good standard. One of our party has food allergies, these were catered for with the meals being adapted. 

We enjoyed our stay.

The breakfast was very good with plenty of choice from a menu. All the staff we came across were very friendly and pleasant. They also did evening meals which were above average with a good selection. They did a happy hour at the bar which finished at 6.30. However, it was unclear what the prices were and how much you were saving?
The room was ok but a bit below standard as the last makeover (probably in the 90's) and had not been touched since. The was flaky paint and the carpets had not been vacuumed. The bathroom was clean. There was plenty of free tea and coffee in the room.
We did not ask to use the carpark but used the back of Sainsburys a short distance away which worked out cheaper as we were out and about for most of the day and you only paid till 6 pm.
The bedrooms could do with a coat of paint and the manager needs to improve the cleaning. 

Good food but improve cleaning!

Room was a superior which was very dusty and unclean. Windows very dirty toilet not fully cleaned .Mattress was absolutely covered in stains not very good all-round.  Breakfast was good ,very disappointed and have complained 

Not good 

Stayed the Royal Oak for two nights.We had a room four flights of stairs up.The bedroom was a small double but fell over bed as you went into the bedroom,Notice in bathroom to say please do not use the bath as waiting for a new one to be fitted.Tried to use the shower but when i tried to turn it on the controls were so difficult to turn on. When i did get the shower to work with help from my husband it trickled water out and  started to make an awful noise so we decided not to bother.Not good when you want to shower but cant.Staff were lovely and friendly and the restaurant was lovely good food good wine.Ate there many times and food and service.Shame our stay was marred with a few issues.

Lovely stay but the few issues hopefully to be sorted.

What a lovely little gem. Quirky converted building which you can tell due to the different shapes and sizes of rooms, travelled with other couple and we did get the better of the 2 rooms. Both rooms were clean, quirky and had all utilities needed for a overnight stay. Our room was room 1 up a few flights of stairs but worth it, large room, bathroom was lush, bed was gorgeous and very comfortable, at front of building with view of hills over the buildings in front.  Staff were very friendly and polite. Lovely young lady checked us in and escorted us to our rooms, she was also on duty next morning, all bright and bubbly serving us our fabulous cooked brekkie, all special request granted, young lady also checked us out. Will definitely be returning 

Quirky converted, central location 

Ate here with some friends on Saturday the 21st January,  the food was exceptional.   Some of the best pub food I've had in a long time (haddock risotto), nice beer and good service.

Thank you 

Will definitely be back.

Amazing food.

Room tiny with a hole in the celing, filthy windows and smelt of stale smoke.  Bathroom black mouldy  ceiling with an unrecognisable smell. Charged £5.00 to park on a piece of dirty rough ground at the back of the pub with wooden posts nailed in to designate spaces.  We booked   a table for dinner and were seated at the very back in a dark corner facing a dirty draughty yard so we made a quick exit and ate elsewhere. The breakfast was unpalatable.  The toast was made of the hardest driest cheapest bread and was the consistency and taste of a piece of MDF.  The scrambled egg was nice. We had a drink in the pub on our final night and the barman whilst collecting the glasses stood there and poured beer all over the bottom of my dress. He just stood with the glass tipped to one side! no apology whatsoever   

Never Again

Excellent home cooked luxurious food
Stumbled across this pub by accident but oh how was it worth it! My husband had the dirty double burger with fries - which he thought was fantastic - fresh and tasty. I had the beef cheek, with roasted vegetables and truffle mash - to die for. Afterwards I had 3 scoops of local ice cream and husband had the peanut butter praline mouse, peanut brittle,chocolate mouse and icecream- he said it was the best desert he’d ever had- which is a compliment in itself. 
Staff very friendly and helpful.

Excellent authentic home cooked food

went for a bite to eat with friends last week, the food was excellent, but the staff were very sarcastic, we sat at the back didn’t know our table number when ordering, bare in mind it was only us there ‘well’ said the bargirl ‘i’ll just have to guess’ 

questions on vegan food (they have quite a few options) were met with eye rolls and a comment to her colleagues ‘why the questions on vegan they’re all carnivores’ when i was still in ear shot

she’s right non of us are vegan, my daughter is and visiting ripon soon, i shan’t be recommending her to visit the royal oak though

wow they’re rude

Lovely place and friendly staff. The food arrived and all the fish were overcooked. My portion could not have been thinner. It was all batter and the "hand cut chips" were very average. I complained at the bar and the waiter just said "oh sorry about that, that will be £75 please" 
This one is definitely off the list.
