더 로열 오크 호텔

We stayed here for a couple of nights over the weekend. The room albeit quirky was clean, with everything you need for a simple stayover. And quirky rooms are due to the age of the building I guess..! The staff here couldn't do more to make our stay an enjoyable one. And the food was exceptional and served by wonderful, friendly staff. Will definitely come back here as the rooms are real cheap and well worth a visit..!

We chose this hotel as it was conveniently located in the town and close to Kinder Scout for walking. Unfortunately the hotel is a disaster waiting to happen with many health and safety issues, even aside from the quality of the rooms, bedding and other facilities. Fire doors are constantly wedged open, even up to the second floor. The room I stayed in had a faulty lock which meant once locked it was almost impossible to open - needless to say I slept with the door unlocked - far from ideal. The manager came to investigate but just shrugged when I explained the risk. The rooms themselves are outdated in terms of decor and furniture, and the beds and bedding are totally worn out - probably the worst hotel bed I’ve ever slept in. Whilst the hotel staff were friendly enough they seemed oblivious to any of the issues, and more concerned about selling us beer and breakfasts. Even allowing for the relatively low cost of the room, this is not good value for money and I would definitely not recommend staying here - it needs some serious investment to make it safe, and more pleasant to stay in.

A pitiful attempt at hotelierhsip. A confusing booking experience and woefull organisation on arrival made for a poor first impression. The accommodation is tired and clearly in need of a substantial upgrade. Halls are musty and dusty. Rooms are dated, noisy and lack a basic standard of quality to have an enjoyable stay. Junior staff are well meaning but disorganised and management are rude, utterly shambolic and ignorant of the poor quality establishment they run. This is a venue best avoided.
