Nicely decorated throughout but ceiling in room three needs attention as is is discoloured and cracking. Lovely quiet village and location. Nice breakfast and a great packed walkers... More

We have used the restaurant several times. After a slight decline in late 2012, things are definately back on the right track, now the the new owners are in place. Six of us ate there last saturday and the meal was very good, with improved portion sizes and more care taken with food quality and presentation. The staff, many of... More

This Exmoor pub has all you could wish for. Firstly, genuinely friendly and hospitable staff who make you welcome the moment you arrive. Add to this a main bar full of character and warmth (log fires, low beams, flag stones etc.), a quieter upper lounge bar and restaurant, all serving tasty, freshly-cooked food from a wide and varied menu. Our... More

Yet another superb stay at the Royal Oak. Cannot fault the service, food, staff or anything. Excellent value. Thankyou Jeanette and all your staff for making us so welcome. Will be visiting again for a great getaway.

We stayed here for a couple of nights in December for my husband's birthday and really enjoyed our stay. The staff were most helpful and very welcoming, especially Jeanette. The room was clean and comfortable and very warm despite the freezing temperatures outside. The food in the bar was good and not too expensive. We will certainly be back.

Popped in for lunch on a working day. Simple, straightforward lunch required. Sausage & Chips was my order of the day. The chef suggested Garlic Sausages, sounded good, so that is what I had Nice sausages too, excellent quality & excellent value.

We would not recommend this to any one, there are much better hotels in the area this place should be shut down and re built from top... More
