The Royal Oak Reviews

“It really makes a change to stay at a privately owned Inn. Good old fashioned English pub, run by people who take pride in what they have to offer. Rooms were very comfortable and exceptionally clean. Breakfast was excellent, thoroughly enjoyed it. But the best thing was being able to sit in the bar having a few pints and a great evening meal. Great value for money and very friendly 👏”

“My brother and I were visiting Beamish Museum. The Royal Oak ticked all the boxes for us and we will be staying there again. Sonia, the owner, makes the food and it is exceptional!! Couldn't fault it.”
