Well, where do I start.I booked a table for 4 and a dog on a Friday evening. It was a surprise for my partners birthday he only thought he was going for dinner with me. We were greeted on arrival and sat immediately. As we arrived first I was conscious that my partner would suspect there was a much bigger table booked than for just 2 of us. So I snuck to the toilet and grabbed a member of staff (Fred) I explained it was a surprise and that I had cake in the car and asked if he could hide it in the kitchen and bring it out with candles lit and decorated with the extra cream and strawberries I had brung. Fred and Sarah that were working that evening did an excellent job at hiding the cake and getting it to the kitchen without my partner suspecting a thing.We weren?t without an empty glass as they provided excellent table service. I gave the nod and they bring out the cake all 3 staff members sang along with us as well as other guests. His birthday was made very special and it was all thanks to the staff at The Royal Oak, they went above and beyond! Very polite and friendly. The food were amazing! It were that good we even returned the following day for dinner and ordered the same food! Thank you all at The Royal Oak!If we visit Appleby again we will be sure to pop in and see you! Much love from Laura & James xFood & drinks: Amazing food! Great chef!

We visited with a dog and a 6 month old baby, the service staff were lovely and helpful! We had a steak and the sausages and mash which were lovely and got the sausages off the dog menu for our labrador - which she loved!Really friendly pub with lovely food.

A wonderful place, log fire, cosy and snug with great service and lovely home cooked food at a very reasonable price. Great for stopping for a coffee and snack or a bite to eat. They even have newspapers to sit and read by the open fire, a real find!Food & drinks: Home cooked with outstanding value

We have stopped here twice now and love it. The room we had (same one each time) was quite quirky and really well appointed. The food is really good and the staff are amazing who can't do enough for you. It's in a great location for exploring and the big attraction for us is that it is also dog friendly, you even get a welcome doggy bag in your room with dog treats, a ball, poo bags etc and there are dog bowls in the room so you don't have to take your own.

What an amazing time, it?s the second time we?ve stayed.Clean comfortable rooms, good fresh food, good people and a log fire, all you could want from a pub stay.In a world where nothing is perfect, this comes pretty close. Thanks for being great hosts.

This is a great inn in a fantastic location just 10 minutes walk away from Appleby Station and town. It has cosy bars, delicious food and very comfortable rooms.Walkability: Very easy to get to from Appleby Station and town. It's on the Settle - Carlisle line, one of the most scenic in the UK and an easy journey by train from London via Leeds.
