Royal Oak Pub - A 17th-century grade-II listed pub with seasonal comfort food and four ensuite rooms in Cartmel Square

Situated in the main square of Cartmel, Royal Oak Pub is a 17th-century grade-II listed establishment offering four refurbished rooms, each with a king-size bed and an en suite bathroom featuring locally produced Pure Lakes toiletries. The pub serves seasonal comfort food, prepared in-house and designed to complement its own craft beers, alongside a selection of guest brews, ciders, spirits, and natural wines. Nearby attractions include L'Enclume (30 meters away), Cartmel Priory, and the village's famous sticky toffee pudding shop, all within walking distance. Rooms feature tea and coffee facilities from Pennington's, free high-speed Wi-Fi, and views of the square. The Royal Oak is a 23-minute drive from Lake Windermere.

Pros

The pub's central location provides easy access to Cartmel's priory, racecourse, and renowned restaurants.

Each room includes a king-size bed, high-speed Wi-Fi, and locally sourced toiletries.

The on-site kitchen prepares seasonal dishes paired with craft beers from the affiliated Fell Brewery.

Cons

The historic building's low ceilings may be inconvenient for taller guests.

Limited room availability with only four ensuite bedrooms.

“The Royal Oak Pub is a particularly comfortable place to stay with its friendly and helpful staff. It's hard to find fault with a hotel that offers both an excellent location and comfortable, clean rooms. Add delicious pub meals to the mix, and I think you'll find this pub hard to beat.”
