About The Royal Oak Inn
Each of the eight rooms at The Royal Oak Inn comes with its own en-suite bathroom and the option of drinks brought up on request, with family rooms available for those travelling with children. It's a straightforward, comfortable base rather than a fussy one, set above a working village pub in Withypool on Exmoor.
Downstairs there's a restaurant and bar serving breakfast, packed lunches and kids' meals, plus a garden and outdoor seating for warmer days. Free WiFi and 24 hour reception cover the practical side, and cycle storage is on hand for anyone touring the area by bike. Pets are welcome, and free on-site parking makes it an easy stop for those arriving by car.
Withypool itself sits well for walking and cycling across Exmoor, with horse riding available nearby and further pubs and restaurants within easy reach in the village. It's a fitting base for exploring the national park and Somerset's coastline beyond it.
