We had a very friendly welcome and a lovely clean room. The steak and ale pie for dinner, in the restaurant, was excellent.

Great location and staff member at check in and during the afternoon in the bar was very helpful & knowledgeable. We found the room and facilities to be excellent, other than the bed which was a little uncomfortable. Disappointed to return at only 1045pm to be told last orders had been called at the bar and we couldn't have a final drink. Other than that would recommend and would stay again.

The Royal Oak is well positioned in the market place and is run by friendly welcoming staff. The Pub Grub menu is limited but the the food was excellent and the beer was superb. Helmesley has a lot going for ir, we would definately go again!

Booked here because it was dog-friendly and convenient for an event I was attending nearby. The Royal Oak massively exceeded my expectations with a comfortable room which was immaculately clean, friendly and helpful staff, and a really great breakfast. even had a great view of Helmsley Castle from my window!

Hotel is on the main square with plenty of available parking round about. The hotel has only a few rooms above a pub restaurant which serves food until 8.30pm. Bedroom was reasonably spacious and bathroom also had a proper bath. Only drawback was not enough hot water when I had a bath late in the evening. Cost of room and evening meal good value and staff were friendly and helpful. We only stayed one night as we were motoring on to see Rivault Abbey the following morning but the village of Helmsley is very attractive.

gary • Couple Trip

Warm welcome from staff. Bed had not been made up so lady went and sorted that before she showed us room. Room was spacious and lovely view of castle from window. Plenty of tea making items. Comfortable bed. Only downside was there was no breakfast available at hotel so we had to wait until 9am when a local cafe opened (cafe on the square) to purchase a breakfast. No on site parking but we managed to park for free on side of road behind hotel

The room was clean and pleasant, although the toilet was leaking. The noise from the bar music was very loud up until midnight. Easy walking to the venue we were going to so it served it’s purpose at a good price.
