Everything! This is a proper historical building in the most beautiful village. We genuinely loved everything about the property and the whole feel. We ended up eating here every evening after long days exploring, we really enjoyed the food and menu on site and having the option to then relax in the cosy bar before bed was very welcome. Our room was exactly as pictured and the attention detail was amazing. Everything you could want and more. The rooms were spotlessly clean. I even really liked the spiral staircase to get up to the rooms - it’s steep but it adds a lot of magic to the stay. Huge shout out to the staff that were not only accommodating but great fun to get to know.

We stayed at The Royal Oak for just one night but wish it had been for longer. Our room (which was up the spiral staircase on the first floor of the main building) was beautifully furnished - the perfect mix of antique and modern. Lots of storage and very spacious. The bed was comfortable and the shower was just right. All very clean and well maintained. You could tell that a lot of thought had gone into everything. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening meal and drinks in the garden. Our vegetarian Sunday roast was delicious as were the desserts. Breakfast was very tasty with a good vegetarian selection. There was also a very small selection of cereal, fruit and juice if you wanted it. The staff were all friendly and helpful. We would definitely return for a longer stay.

Nothing!

Beautiful location within Ramsden providing a lovely Cotswolds feel, which is ideal for tourists. Within 20 - 30 minutes drive to the main spots. Stunning pub, with beautiful food and friendly staff.

We stayed in the dog friendly room, which is accessible via a very steep and windy staircase. I have two elderly dogs with some mobility issues and had to carry them up and down the stairs (wasn’t aware when booking) My 70 year old mum also had some issues with the stairs and had to crawl up. Heating was on full blast within the bathroom and unable to turn off .. leading to a very stuffy nights sleep.. however staff did take on board so will hopefully fix :)

We stayed in the Wychwood room and we were pleased with the character and comfort of the room. The pub is in a quiet and beautiful village and the bar is a beautiful environment to enjoy a drink, We were not disturbed by having the bar below our room as the pub was quiet by 10.30pm. The pub offers an excellent choice of high quality meals.

This did not negatively impact on our stay but someone booking a room above the pub need to be aware the staircase is a little narrow and winding. The heating seemed to come on and off at random times but we were told they were looking into the matter.

This pub was a wonderful find. Location spot on for what we needed - central but slightly off the beaten track in a pretty village. The decor in the room was lovely and bed super comfortable. Breakfast was excellent, as was supper. We were in the attic and whilst we loved the charm (took me back to my childhood attic bedroom, swinging from the beams when bored!), we had to remember to duck - do check when booking, if you are super tall, or have mobility issues which room you are in. A real gem and hope to come back!

The wi-fi is subpar - although it showed full bars, it was far from that and barely worked in the room - a little tricky when trying to manage out of hours work and with little mobile coverage too. I think it could be improved!

We booked two nights at the Royal Oak. This beautiful 17th Century Pub was in the heart of the picturesque village of Ramsden. Staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful. Menus were varied with some traditional and some more innovative dishes. Our favourite breakfast was the vegetarian full with "haggis" (even though we are not veggies!). We dined at the pub both evenings - Sunday roast was amazing and we decided that we wanted to eat there again the following night. The food is locally sourced, fresh and home made. We really liked the layout of the pub with the original cosy bar area at the front and a bright spacious oak and glass conservatory at the rear leading out to a beautiful garden courtyard where we chose to sit and eat breakfast. There is also a 'secret' walled garden if you want to sit somewhere really quiet! Our room was tastefully furnished, cosy, clean and quiet, with en suite (great shower). Our big bed was really comfy and we had a good night's sleep. Kettle, Tea, coffee & biscuits all provided. A really nice touch was a small decanter of Port and two glasses left in our room, to round the evening off ! We will be returning to this pub for another short break as soon as we can.

We had to go home! We would have liked to stay a bit longer............There was absolutely nothing we didn't like about this place.

We stayed during the school holiday when visiting Cotswolds. The place is cosy and full of character. Kids absolutely loved their bunk beds and the ‘stables’ we stayed in are spacious enough for a family of four and very cosy. I like their eco touch- the toiletries and not only vegan and cruelty free but also local and of good quality. The bottled still water is replenished daily which is also unusual and such a lovely touch. The bedroom bin is fitted with a supermarket carrier bag which again I’m guessing is intentional and contributing to reduction in waste. Their garden is lovely and full of herbs. What’s absolutely the best about this place is their spectacular breakfast which is one of the best we have ever had. The breakfast waitresses were lovely. The dinner was also good. We had an issue with accommodation and the response I received from Iesha totally exceeded my expectations. Mistakes happen everywhere and it’s just heartwarming to see the staff going above and beyond to put the things right for the guest. Thank you for that Iesha.

The Royal Oak is a diamond among pub gems. The room was clean and plenty big enough, the bed very comfortable, the shower excellent. Its location was ideal for us, visiting Blenheim for the Game Fair. We ate in the first evening of a good choice menu and the food was excellent, plenty of it and all very tasty. There was a wide choice of wines and a selection of beers. The option to dine indoors or outside is ideal for the differing temperatures on our two days there. All staff were obliging, polite and extremely pleasant. It was absolutely superb

The village was a perfect location, if you want peace and quiet away from the crowds this is the place , but close to visit stow , Burton on the water and of course didley squat farm , the meals were fab and generous, and the breakfast was the best cooked breakfast ever , it really has a personal touch , staff great , rooms traditional bath and shower. Try the ales very good.

Loved it keep it as it is just great.

Full of character inn with superb food and great breakfast menu. Very friendly staff and nothing was too much trouble. We had a first floor room at the back, which was very comfortable and well equipped. En suite with a double size rainfall shower and plenty of hot water. Fantastic location for exploring the Cotswolds.

A lot of door banging on our second night - people leaving and staff accessing the cellar. This didn't finish until after 11.45pm and kept us awake.
