    amazing dinner
    complimentary biscuits
    entertainment options
    toilet privacy issue

    Had a lovely stay, really enjoyed the amazing roast beef dinner and the complimentary biscuits were a nice touch! The entertainment options, like karaoke and live music, really helped us unwind after a long day. Just a minor thing, the blinds in the toilet could use some privacy, especially on warm days. 😊

    clean room
    nice view
    noise at night
    no parking

    The Double Room was spacious and comfy. I loved the tea and coffee making facilities, and the TV was a decent size. The view of the market square and Helmsley Castle was a nice touch, really pretty. It was spotlessly clean, and I slept like a log. No complaints about the room itself! Just had a few noises from the pub downstairs, but nothing too crazy.

    The Royal Oak Hotel was a perfect getaway for our family. Our room was spacious, clean, and equipped with a lovely coffee machine, making our mornings much more enjoyable. The staff were incredibly warm and accommodating, especially when we decided to extend our stay. The breakfast was delicious and provided great energy for our day out exploring Helmsley.

    Recommend it for friends who appreciate comfort

    The staff treated us like we were old pals, really made you feel welcome. The food was just honest pub grub, hit the spot perfectly.
