The Royal Oak Inn is a small, family run pub with a warm, welcoming atmosphere, and enjoys a busy life all year round. Situated in the very heart of Bowness-on-Windermere, The Oak is literally a stone's throw from the Bowness Bay piers, Lake Windermere and only a few minutes walk from the many traditional craft and gift shops. We offer superb non-smoking accommodation, a wide variety of traditional real ales, log fires and excellent home cooked food.
