We warmly welcome you to The Royal Oak, a charming country pub and the perfect base for exploring the delights of the southern Peak District.

The Royal Oak's open fires and hidden corners are a welcoming sight for all tired walkers craving a well earned pint, families on a day out in search of a friendly haven or 'Foodies' after some great homemade dishes. Proper food, generous portions and sensible prices are what make The Royal Oak so special.

We take great pride in offering a very traditional style of hospitality complete with cosy pub atmosphere, good company, cask-conditioned ales, a fine selection of wines and a menu of hearty English pub food. Open every day from 12 noon until 9pm means you can sit back and enjoy the unique atmosphere at 'The Oak' anytime.

For those who'd like to linger longer, the choice of camping accommodation is available.

The Royal Oak camping grounds are situated to the rear of the pub. The picturesque campsite has 20 pitches on two levels with direct access to the Tissington and High Peak Trail. Access to the camping field is via a standard five-bar gate. The campsite has a unisex toilet and shower block with inside and outside washing up facilities - please note there is no electric hook up or hard core standing.

Please note we do not allow motorhomes we only accept small camper-vans. Nothing larger than a VW camper will be admitted on to the site as we cannot guarantee access due to weather conditions. On bank holiday weekends we do have a minimum stay of 3 nights.

Snow covered paradise

Silvester, Ed - 18/01/2025

Great campsite attached to lovely pub. It had snowed recently and the access would have been challenging to a motorhome. The owner emailed me to inform me and check that I had a 4x4 and offered alternatives. No mention of cancellation or fussing about me. Delighted with the challenge. The warm toilets and showers were really high standard. Set in the rolling hills near Buxton, this is perfect base for Peak District adventures. And if you don’t feel like cooking, pop in to the pub and enjoy the menu there!

Perfect campsite for a firework-free New Year with my dog!

Robertson, Kirsty - 05/01/2025

Stayed here for New Year. The campsite is quiet in winter but the staff are very friendly, the bathrooms warm and the option to have a delicious pub meal proved irresistible. The site is right on a long walking trail that used to be disused railway so a safe, level walk on a very windy day. Was able to let my dog off the lead most of the way as there were few other walkers. Also discovered that if you walk about an hour towards Parsley Hay there is a kiosk doing hot drinks and sweet and savoury snacks.

Love this place

Taylor, Michelle - 07/11/2024

This is the second time I have stayed at this site and it is a real gem. Its clean, amenities are good and it has a wonderful country pub on site - what more do you need. Dog and child friendly. Staff are lovely. There is the high peak trail on the back of this site and you are close to Buxton. The sister site Bull in thorn is across the road and is also a lovely site I have stayed at. It is a short but fun walk across a field to get to. Down the road from the bull in thorn is Monyash - a cute little village with a great cafe and pub in. And up the road from that is Tag lane dairy - the most amazing Jersey cow ice cream and milkshakes. I truly love this place and would highly recommend to anyone :)

Campsite and facility review

Parsons, Connor - 03/11/2024

Fantastic campsite, very clean facilities and the pitches were flat. The pub was outstanding. Only one gripe is that there were a lot of bugs in the toilet/shower blocks, especially at night - daddy longlegs, mosquitos and tiny flys that kept buzzing around whilst having an end of day hot shower or cleaning teeth before bed time. I think this may have been due to one of the fly nets not being shut properly though. Other than that - was perfect.
