Gorgeous food, lovely village
Superb restaurant food for dinner in this delightful village compensates for the rather mediocre room in this ancient inn. However the latter is reflected in the very modes room price and staying here is worthwhile for the dining experience alone. The staff are all very pleasant and helpful

Lovely peaceful inn
We really enjoyed our two nights in this lovely traditional thatched inn set in pretty peaceful surroundings. Excellent local ales and very good food. Staff were friendly and eager to help. Great spot from which to visit Dunster, Minehead etc and for walking on Exmoor. We hope to return.

A country escape
An enjoyable stay. We were welcomed by Jane on arrival and shown to our room which was very comfortable. Despite staff shortages every effort was made to ensure all guests were happy and comfortable. The food was excellent and well priced.

Very pleased with our one night stay. Only slightly negative comment would be that the shower controls could do with some modernising.

Lovely countryside stay
Lovely 2-night B&B stay in a twin room which was clean and comfortable and a good size, with a large bathroom with a powerful over bath shower. Good night's sleep both nights as the village is very quiet. Ideal base for exploring Exmoor. Food was very good at breakfast(pre-ordered the night before) and at dinner. Friendly staff. Good Covid measures in place.

Extremely well run. Spotlessly clean. Lovely food. Staff who go that extra mile. Excellent location. Pretty thatched cottage village with ford and tea shop and plenty to do in surrounding areas. You will definitely want to re visit.

Lovely stay
A lovely "olde worlde" pub in the heart of Exmoor. Lovely, clean and comfortable room with plenty of space to move around and relax in. Superb dinner on site where you were not in any way rushed though the courses as you had the table for the evening. Breakfast was divine, beautifully cooked and more than enough to set you up for the day ahead (we didn't eat again until tea time). Overall, would highly recommend.

Great place to stay
The Royal Oak is superb. We very much enjoyed our stay. Despite the hotel being taken over 2 months ago the hospitality was great. The bedroom was lovely but the bathroom is in need of refurbishment. The restaurant was lovely and the food great (except for the venison my husband had on the 2nd night - which we did not pay for). A great place to stay if you fancy Exmoor.
