Lovely staff, brilliant breakfast, room was clean and had everything provided. Couldn’t ask for more. A great place to stay would highly recommend. Park in the York car park round the corner for £2 a night
We have been coming to knaresborough for a number of years now and always pop in a couple of times during our stay to The Old Royal Oak.
What we love most is the friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere, the owners are both wonderful friendly people who clearly work very hard.
The ladies toilets are spotless, as is the rest of the place and it’s always lovely and warm inside, much appreciated when you’ve been out in the cold! You also get a friendly welcome Woof 🐶 from the family pet, he’s just a sweetheart!
Prices very competitive and all round a fantastic place to come for a pint or two. We have yet to eat here but the food looks and smells amazing, so we will definitely be eating here next time we visit!
This is a traditional old fashioned pub, just the way it should be!
Spot of family Easter Sunday treats in the way of carvery. Food was lovely, service fantastic what more could you ask for. I had the Turkey which was delicious and then there were 3 other meats to choose from! I have it on good authority from my mother that the beef was delicious. Thank you 😊

Great local pub smack in the middle of Knaresborough! Fun regulars with daft karaoke, entertaining bands and a great team behind the bar. We love the range of pubs in Knaresborough, with modern bars, super traditional pubs, trendy places, sports bars and lively locals, and whenever we visit we always go to the Old Royal Oak as it usually has something going on, and if not the beer garden is a nice place to have a relaxing pint in!
The manager in particular is a legend, I've been returning ever since she gave me a Kit Kat chunky on a birthday night out, an act I'll never forget!
We've been staying at the Old Royal Oak for a Saturday night every January now for I think five years now, sometimes in the summer.
We keep coming back as hardworking Rob and Sharon are very welcoming. The pub and our rooms are excellent as always. They usually provide a nice breakfast. Last Saturday though Rob said unfortunately the kitchen is out of use and been refurbished which is good for hygiene and reliability of the service. They've been living on takeaways while the work has been going on. Rob told us about the situation when arrived and we were totally fine about it, and paid a bit less because of that. We were happy to book with them again.
Just popped in for a wee drink on a very cold day and was met with very kind staff. Lovely old pub. Very warm and welcoming. They also had the cleanest and warmest toilets I’ve ever been in.
Had a fabulous stay. Diane was friendly welcoming and extremely helpful. Room was lovely. Breakfast was amazing and plentiful. Returning shortly with hubby as such a lovely experience
Went today for mothers day, staff are lovely and sundays dinner was so tasty meat was cooked perfectly, everything was home made a reasonably priced.
Definitely recommended and would return.
Lovely clean spacious rooms. Very cosy and warm(had to turn heater off) love the firepit in yard and log burner in outside snug. Staff work very hard. Beautiful cooked breakfast.
Great pub in the center of town. If you go I hope the lovely dog friendly lady is behind the bar, She just made the place, so friendly 💯💯💯
You can tell this is a local pub and feels like a traditional pub. I have not stayed there, so I can not rate the rooms. I will be going more often as it was a good atmosphere.
I visit for a drink about once a week the bar staff including Diane and the owner are pleasant and provide good service with a inclusive vibe when talking to customers
We visited on a wet Saturday afternoon in March. Welcoming chat from the landlord and bought a couple of pints.
Had the Sunday carvery,was excellent. The 2 ladies serving were absolutely amazing.
Stayed here for a couple of nights rooms were clean and tidy and a good size.
All of the staff were great and very dog friendly we were made to feel at home.
Right bang in the middle of the town great location.
Would definitely stay again.
Lovely one night stay ! The room was spotless and the central location was perfect with so many pubs close by. Great breakfast that set's you up for the day ! Park at York place just £1.60 for 24hrs 5mins away, friendly welcoming staff would highly recommend.👍
Sunday carvery was amazing and great price, seniors get smaller plate but loads of meat on both , highly recommend
