Situated in the heart of Bowness-on-Windermere, The Royal Oak Inn offers a traditional Inn, which has been family run since 1995.

The Royal Oak Inn offers cosy rooms above the public bar with free Wi-Fi, TV, radio alarm clock and tea/coffee making facilities. Some rooms are en-suite and some have a separate bathroom.

I occupied the single room and it was quite spacious considering the fact that it was a single room. Breakfast was included and was pretty sufficient for a single person. They offered Vegan options to me as I am a vegan.

    The Masons Arms has the most gorgeous views with the loveliest staff. Me and my partners had the best roast dinner we have ever had, absolutely delicious. We stayed in the crosthwaite suite which had everything and more. The room was spacious and very comfortable. We will definitely returning. Thank you 😊

    The staff at the Hare & Hounds were extremely friendly and accommodating. They communicated very well with us especially given we were arriving late. They were delightful to our dog and made her feel very welcome. The Inn is charming and beautifully decorated. Very cosy! Restaurant was excellent and we sat around the fireplace until 11 reading our books with a lovely glass of desert wine. Highly recommend the Inn. Great location for trail walking too.
