    unfortunately the night we stayed there was a disco being held there that evening and our room was right above this. (room 4). only room that was not near sound would probably bee room 6. music, singing stopped about 11:30. however, staff were pleasant and efficient and restaurant served delicious food cooked to order.

    in a good location not far from riverside walk which looks very pretty. a little bit restricted parking but we managed to get a parking space.

    The room was clean, spacious with cottage style character furnishings. The food was great and the staff were helpful and friendly. We travel with our two dogs often and not only was this place dog friendly, it was the one place that doesn’t charge extra for pets to stay. I would rate it 5 stars for that alone! Also, breakfast was included in the price and was huge! The owner, Simon, was lovely and extremely helpful. I would fully recommend staying here!

    Nothing to dislike

    The Royal oak is a quirky little pub. Please don't take any notice of the U tube video a man put on a couple of years as nothing is right from his footage. The place was incredibly clean and very tastefully decorated. With even fresh coffee a true bonus.

    It is a little bit noisy because the music in the bar can be heard in the rooms. It did not impact us because it was off after closing time but it might be something to consider if you are early to bed !!

    The Royal Oak is a very nice place to stay . It is comfortable and the rooms are recently decorated to a very good standard. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

    Friendly pub in good location

    • Classic Double Room with Bath
    • Stayed 7 nights

    The mattress on the bed was dreadful. You could feel the springs poking through and it was so worn on one side that I kept rolling towards the edge. I had to sleep on top of the duvet for any comfort. The paintwork on the doors was dirty and on switches there was an accumulation of dust suggesting that the room didn't get a thorough clean that often. It was a shame as otherwise the stay was an enjoyable one.

    As I was travelling alone I wanted a friendly, welcoming place to stay and the Royal Oak fulfilled that brief. This is very much a locals pub so it didn't feel impersonal. "Pub grub" done well, though a few more veg wouldn't have gone amiss.

    welcome was warm. Breakfast beautiful and room had what we needed. Feedback would be that my partner and I are both very tall, so while comfortable the bed felt snug and we did fight over the duvet.

    Being a local pub there is inevitably some noise from the bar, Room 5 particularly suffers from this - maybe speakers below could be moved or a maximum setting arranged for volume.

    Clean and comfortable rooms, friendly and helpful staff with good food and beer.

The owners and all the staff were friendly and attentive. Graham one the owners, posted a book we had left behind to our home address, brilliant customer service thank you.

    Good quality accommodation near the centre of Lostwithiel

    Only one minor criticism, and that's the price, however, Cornwall prices are considerably more expensive than where I'm used to booking accommodation (in Eastern Europe)!

    I arrived having cycled from Penzance and via Lands End! It was dark (recently), and the staff looked after me extremely well, the room was spacious, warm, and I was able to get a good evening meal, and breakfast as well before continuing the ride of torture the following day, the destination on this occasion being Newton Abbot. Lovely country pub, good atmousphere, but quiet in the room, and a good nights sleep was had.

    Just a word of warning for any early birds to bed, it was fine for me but the music in the bar was played until 2am which was very loud in rooms. May not be suitable for everyone.

    Lovely comfortable room with lovely view. Lovely staff and ideal location for what I needed. Breakfast was also great.

    I wanted a bath not a shower but I was too tired to say anything

    Breakfast was sublime, I originally ordered poached eggs on toast until I saw another guests breakfast arrive and quickly changed my order to the full English, truly scrummy- the coffee was also very good. The evening before I had fish & chips and again, very very tasty with no lingering fried flavour. The fish was very fresh and beautifully cooked. The landlord and staff made me and my dog feel very welcome, the locals were equally friendly. I would not hesitate recommending The Royal Oak Inn, it surpassed itself on value for money. I know where I'll be booking the next time I come to Cornwall.
