About Royal Oak

The Royal Oak is a traditional inn set within an old market-town building on Settle's Market Place, keeping its character to just six rooms. That small scale gives it the feel of a proper local rather than a chain hotel, with a restaurant and bar at the heart of the place.

Guests get comfortable rooms, including family options, along with breakfast and kids' meals in the restaurant. There's outdoor seating for warmer days, free WiFi throughout, and practical extras such as luggage storage and a laundry service. Pets are welcome, and free on-site parking is provided, which is useful given the town-centre setting.

Settle itself is well placed for exploring the Yorkshire Dales, with walking country on the doorstep and fishing nearby for those who want it. The Market Place location also puts other pubs, bars and restaurants within easy reach, alongside whatever entertainment the town has on. It's a straightforward base for a Dales stay rather than a destination in itself.

Diners like this pub's delicious and hearty traditional British and Greek dishes, including Sunday roasts, fish and chips, and souvlaki, with generous portions. They also highlight the friendly and attentive staff, welcoming atmosphere, and reasonable prices.

Some reviews mention the food can be cold.
