Stayed in Room 5 - basic double room. Very small room and very small shower room. Good tea/coffee making facilities. Nice shower room products but very dirty showerhead! Good breakfast with lots of choices. No food on Sunday evenings and bar shuts at 8.30pm.

The food at the restaurant was nice and staff were helpful. However room not overly clean we couldn’t use kettle or glasses as they simply weren’t clean. We also had to ask for fresh towels. Apart from that, it’s a good location in the Cotswolds and there is parking available.

What an expensive mistake
We left and went elsewhere because the room was very dark, like a little cell, and noisy with other rooms above, doors banging etc. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The pub itself looked nice inside but we didn't stay long enough to experience. I hope Expedia will give us back some of our money. Fern and Bob Ogley

Friendly and welcoming to our dog which was our no.1 priority. Room sleeps 4 people comfortably and is very pleasant. Tea and coffee good quality and very tasty biscuits and tray bake items. Food fresh and very tasty. Area perfect for dog walking.

Lovely pub but let down by the room
really lovely pub, excellent food ,lovely atmosphere and great service from the waitresses. Our stay was let down by the fact that out television created a short circuit/power cut which meant a short power cut twice and then we had no tv at all which was a shame as we like to come back to the room after dinner and watch tv before bed - ?? the duty manager told us we would have to "stream" on our mobiles !! something we older generation don't do.(we assumed that we could not be moved to another room as maybe they were fully booked). The room (room 5) was very small and we also had to place a towel at the bottom of the door to keep the draught out of the cold corridor.

Overall, very nice, comfortable and friendly.
Lovely stay and friendly staff. Breakfast is excellent and highly recommend. Stayed for 2 nights. Was slightly disappointed that our room wasn't refreshed after our first night. When I asked why the room hadn't been serviced, I was told that you had to request it because of COVID. Thought this could have been mentioned at check in. A small point but worth mentioning so future guests can request if they require a room freshen up after first night.

Noisy
Room faced onto a busy and noisy pub courtyard, that was very noisy until 11:00 so if you want an early night that’s not really possible at this hotel. Breakfast starter at 8:30 so if you are staying for work again this hotel is not a good option.

Tetbury stay
Hadn’t stayed at this hotel before and didn’t know what to expect. Good communication from the Royal Oak before arrival , covering for example Covid, parking, booking meals and letting us know that on a Sunday no evening meals available after 7.00 pm though you could pre-book a cold plate. Evening meal was booked for the Saturday and predominantly pub grub, with what appeared to be a good selection of vegetarian and vegan options. Though not a great lover of burgers , they were most enjoyable, and my wife said the dessert was worth the calories. The full English breakfast(other options available) was really good and set us up for the day. The room was very clean and staff friendly. Would definitely stay there again.
