About Royal Oak
Step inside Royal Oak and you'll find just four en-suite rooms, keeping things intimate and quiet as this is an adults-only hotel. Each comes with the basics done well, and free WiFi throughout means you can stay connected without any fuss. With only two floors and a handful of rooms, it has the feel of a proper local inn rather than a large hotel.
Downstairs there's a restaurant and bar for evening meals and drinks, plus breakfast to set you up for the day, and outdoor seating in the garden for warmer weather. Reception is staffed around the clock, so arrival times are flexible. Do note there's no parking on site, so plan ahead if you're driving into Cartmel.
The Square location puts you within easy reach of the priory, along with nearby pubs, restaurants and shops. Walking and cycling routes lead out into the surrounding countryside, and golf, fishing and watersports can all be arranged locally for anyone wanting to fill the day beyond the village itself.
