Welcome

Centuries of Exmoor hospitality

Originally a 12th-century farmhouse, The Royal Oak is the original and oldest of the Royal Oaks in the area. Today it is a traditional country inn with ten en-suite bedrooms and a restaurant serving home-cooked food made with the best local ingredients.

We love dogs — well-behaved ones are welcome in most areas of the inn.
