Lovely place to stay. Each room has its own front door onto the car park. Rooms are comfortable and well equipped. The food and drink in the pub is really nice and the breakfast is brilliant. Will stay again if in the area.
We stayed over for a wedding. Rooms were comfy and clean but lots of noise from the neighbours on either side woke us up quite early which was annoying as we were looking forward to Sunday lay in. We didnt have an evening meal but food looked lovely. Breakfast was really nice.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Only normal coffee would of
Liked to start my day with a cappuccino
All the staff were friendly and helpful.
Room was great for the cost, but small details let it down like crack in bathroom sink, missing lock on window
Enjoyable stay in one of the pub's rooms at the back of the property. Nice big room with settee and two chairs, much better than having to sit on the bed. Tea and coffee, fridge and bottled water are nice extra touches provided for when you get back from a day exploring. Shower good, water hot plus soft towels ( much appreciated!) and very quiet location in a small village with a handy village store in walking distance. Great overall stay.
What a find! Lovely room with plenty of space, two armchairs and a full length mirror. Quiet location. Pub food was great and the staff were very friendly. We really enjoyed our stay
Its always a pleasent and comfortable stay at The Royal oak Long Whatton.
The breakfast is the best I have had anywhere and I have stayed in a lot of places.
The staff are always polite and friendly.
Nice work.
Warm welcome from the all the staff upon arrival &”service for food, breakfast & dinner great quality, would recommend.
Room was lovely with really clean bathroom parking also easy .
The accommodation was very good. To a high standard and the staff where great. The pub uts self was clean tidy and well set out. The staff again where great. A fantastic breakfast and eveni g meal that I had was very good. I would recommend this place.
A tastefully and comfortably modernised pub in a somewhat downbeat village near the M1 and airport but surprisingly quiet. The M1 is white noise in the background. I couldn't hear the planes. Rooms in the pub's grounds were comfortable with parking right outside and the food was amazing, including breakfast. No soggy mushrooms! If I was a lone female traveller I would feel particularly safe here. Very happy that we broke our journey overnight and will definitely do so again.
