Local artwork and historical artefacts continue throughout the restaurants, giving a real sense of place within the National Park. The first of its kind plein air painting group was set up by renowned Victorian landscape artist David Cox when he stayed at the Royal Oak in the 1840's. Displayed inside the hotel is the signboard painted by Cox in 1847, showing a grand Oak tree, It was fixed to the wall above the entrance until 1866, when it was framed and displayed in the hall, it now takes pride of place above the fireplace in the lounge.
