I have only seen the rooms which are extremely well presented.
The service is warm and friendly. The food is home cooked and very good.
The beer is well kept and good.
This is a great pub, well worth a drive out.

Cosy little pub in the middle of nowhere.
The delicious food is all homemade.
The accommodation has had a recent makeover and was very comfortable.
Best of all is how friendly, welcoming & helpful the staff are.

Under new management. Called in to upgrade the wifi (60mbps) all good now. Had food there (curry, half and half) and a good choice of beers. They even do a 16oz steak. What's not to like. Great little pub with rooms, great location and great staff. Lots of parking around the back and pool table. Good luck and see you again soon. Thanks simeon 'the phone doctors'

We recently stayed for two nights and can't speak highly enough of how the Royal Oak Inn has changed. We were warmly welcomed, our bedroom was comfortable and clean and the restaurant food was as it should be. The Royal Oak is back where it should be - at the heart of Rhandirmwyn village.

We can't comment on rooms as we have family locally and a home to go to 😁 However it has been our first visit to the pub in a while (sorry) and a really lovely experience for us and our youngsters. From sharing nostalgic memories through to much needed, well earned great ale after a long work day! Thank you. Superb service, atmosphere and very tentative, helpful staff. We'll be back again for food for sure and we'll definitely be around more frequently. Thank you Amanda and Co - doing a fantastic job for a rural area 👍🏻

A lovely stay in a cosy pub with a beautiful setting. Not to mention an extremely modest fee with a full English breakfast included! Lovely personable team who tended to my every need and even brought my breakfast to the room. Wonderful experience through and through. Recommend.

Excellent spot for a bite to eat. Just made it for 9pm, and happy to do a hot meal for me (scampi and chips👌). Friendly and helpful staff.Good location near Llyn Brianne, would definitely recommend, if in the area.They have rooms as well, which I would definitely use next time, for dark skies.

Great beers, clearly cleans the pipes and serves fresh ales. Excellent selection of beers, spirits and other drinks. Desserts were great. Kids very happy. Roast beef pork and turkey was good although veg would be better less cooked - 5 mins in steam does it. All round great pub, very happy to see it revamped so we'll.
