About The Royal Oak Braithwaite
Walkers, cyclists and dog owners after a proper base in the fells will find The Royal Oak Braithwaite a straightforward fit. This is a village pub with ten rooms attached, set among the Lakeland scenery near Keswick and Derwentwater, with mountain views and free on-site parking for those arriving after a day on the hills.
Rooms are en-suite and kept clean and comfortable, with family rooms available and free WiFi throughout. The bar and restaurant are the heart of the place, serving hearty pub food including steak and ale pie and Cumberland sausage, backed by a solid range of real ales. Breakfast is included, packed lunches can be arranged for a day out walking, and there's a garden with outdoor seating for warmer evenings, plus open fires for the colder ones. Pets are welcome and staff are known for being attentive and friendly.
Beyond the door there's plenty to fill a stay: cycling and walking routes right on hand, fishing, golf and horse riding nearby, and watersports on the lakes a short trip away. It suits those wanting an unfussy, cosy stopover rather than a polished country hotel.

What guests say
We called last minute for a table after we'd had a reservation cancelled at another pub due to a power cut. The guys at the Royal Oak were able to accommodate our last minute request for two people and two dogs. We were welcomed with a warm and friendly atmosphere and served really quickly. The food was delicious. Thank you very much!

Great beer, great service. Location was perfect for us. And if youre lucky enough to get a window seat you have a beautiful view. Didn't eat here to be able to comment on that. Would recommend.
