Really helpful and friendly staff.
Really helpful and friendly staff. Prepared me a grab bag for breakfast as had to leave earlier than breakfast was served. My room was a little on the small side but was very beautifully presented. (And would be fine for any one of average hight and build. As I am over 6’5 and of large build.)

2 nights at The Royal Oak
No parking available on day 1. I was told an email would be sent on the day of our arrival to give us instructions for accessing the room but never received it. Had to wait for someone to take us to the room and give me the passkey. Pub was very busy and noisy on our first night which kept us awake. Second night we didn’t hear anything in the pub. Breakfast was really good and the cooks were excellent at catering for my dairy and egg allergies. Bed mattress was not good.

Good location
The location is the Hotel's biggest selling point as it is so close to the Dover Castle and the White Cliffs. The room was ok for a "base" but would not recommend it for a long stay. The food served was excellent.
