I Was Recommende The Royal Oak by Friends in Biddulph. I Was Attending a Friends Funeral and Staying Overnight. On arrival I Was Greeted by The Landlord Steve Who Was Very Helpful and Informative, Showing Me to My Room and Explaining Security Measures, My Room Was Immaculate, Decoration, Cleanliness and Facilities, The Pub is an Old Style Traditional Pub With a Great Range Of Beers, Again The Pub Is Immaculate (Decoration/Cleanliness). I Had a Drink in The Pub Which Was Ver Busy (8.00pm Friday) Sociable Crowd and My Cask Beer Was Excellent I Had A Great Nights Sleep in a Very Comforyable Double Bed, In The Morning I Found The Shower to Be Powerful and Pleanty Of Hot Water, Cannot Fault The Royal Oak and Would Highly Recommend it to Anyone, The Pricing is Excellent and For The Quality of Accomodation and Service is Great Value

This is Not a Criticism, I Rate The Royal Oak 10 out 10 If There Was A Breakfast Available It Would Rate 10+

The hotel room was excellent, very clean and comfortable and also the size of the room was very good for two people, we had everything we needed. Staff was exceptionally nice. The owner was very kind and helped us with everything we needed. He made us feel very comfortable like all the other staff. Very clean and nice hotel. Moreover the location is very good as its near some interesting and beautiful places to visit. The residents in the area are also very friendly as well. Would recommend this hotel to everyone.

Just returned from a stay at the Royal Oak, what a fabulous set up. Cute little cottage vibes upstairs where the rooms were. Very clean, comfortable and private. The bed was plush, so comfortable and the room was furnished so homely. Little added extras which made the stay welcoming; attentive owner who showed us around and made us feel at home, nice little tea/coffee station in the room, towels and wash kit. It was a shame we only stayed one night! The location was great, easy to find, close to shops and perfect for us who were guests at a wedding close by (6 miles away)

N/A

Large, clean, well furnished en suite bedroom. Cupboard with automatic light with the kettle, tea, coffee and biscuits. Little fridge with small milk and room for our own food. Room 3 with firm twin beds and single duvets. Blackout curtains. Large, clean shower room. Sumptuous carpet and towels. Lovely friendly pub downstairs. Quiet with window closed in January. Secure entrances into pub or onto street. Food available very nearby including breakfast oatcakes and Spoons! Biddulph is definitely worth a weekend or midweek break and this place is right in the middle (some shops closed on Wednesdays).

Flight of stairs up to rooms are slightly steep and narrow. Ok for us in our 50s but may be difficult for less mobile. Mattress toppers would be welcome and larger duvets. Will definitely stay again.

The bed was comfortable, the room was clean and nicely decorated. There was a fridge with water and milk which is appreciated. The guest area and room security is well thought out and reassuring. There was no noise from the pub area below.

The stairs, while well lit and provided with hand rails, are quite steep, care is needed when taking bags up and down. Could have done with some info re. the heating system i.e. is there a master timer?

Absolutely great! Comfy room on the first floor of an excellent pub. Big comfy bed, soft pillows. Spacious shower room, fluffy towels. Staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful. Small carpark with free parking. Tea/coffee facilities (with fridge!), and fresh milk was provided, which was very welcome!!

The stairs are a bit steep - although not a problem as it's a single flight of stairs. No food available - but plenty of places to eat locally, both for breakfast and later in the day. So everything was great, thanks!!

Rooms were nicely decorated and exceptionally clean. Lots of towels, tea and coffee etc. Steve was really friendly and chatty as were all the staff. There was live music (weekend) which we enjoyed but something to consider if you wanted to go to bed early (which we didn’t). Central location in Biddulph, couldn’t fault it.

Couldn’t really fault it but wouldn’t be suitable for anyone with mobility problems as the stairs were very steep.

Staff friendly room very good

When we arrived the owner/ manager told us that there was going to be a live band. He said it would finish at 11 and we wouldn’t really hear it. Wrong. It went on past 11 and was so noisy. Also we had a fire alarm we got down the stairs and the band was still playing they hadn’t heard it. Luckily it was a false alarm. Next morning he apologised for the alarm and hope the band was ok we said no and he should have told us before we came about the live music. If we had known we would have cancelled.

Staff were friendly. Room very clean and comfy. Biscuits with the tea/coffee was a nice touch.

I expected a little noise as staying over a pub and the usual noise was minimal when in our room but as stayed on a Saturday night they had live music till 11pm. Very loud. Luckily we had been out so only had it for about an hour but if someone wanted an early nite it would be a problem

The room was very clean and comfortable. A hot day and they had left a window open for our arrival. A small fridge meant we had fresh milk. Which is always a bonus. No mention on the site that a hairdryer would be supplied but there was one. Plenty of sockets, drawers, hanging space in a cupboard and storage space. The fridge with tea coffee was also in a cupboard which meant no fridge noise
