With our cosy log fires, beamed ceilings and rustic charm, the Royal Oak offers excellent cask ales, fine wines, home cooked food, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. On the edge of the North York Moors, the Royal Oak is the perfect place to call in for coffee, a pint, a delicious meal or to stay the night in one of our ensuite hotel rooms. We have two bars and a Garden Room, open all day every day with food served from 10:00AM to 9:00PM. We also welcome dogs in the Bistro bar, the courtyard and some of our hotel rooms

The attractive village of Great Ayton is situated on the banks of the River Leven, on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors. It was the boyhood home of the explorer Captain James Cook, who went to school in what is now the Captain Cook Schoolroom Museum. The graves of the Cook family can be found in the churchyard of the ancient and beautiful 12th century All Saints Church. The village also plays host to some charming shops, as well as the famous Suggitts ice cream shop, and Petch’s Butchers.
