About Royal Oak Cottage

Royal Oak Cottage is a modest, homely guesthouse with just four rooms, set in the Exmoor village of Withypool in Somerset. Its size keeps things simple and personal, with a garden for sitting out and views over the surrounding countryside rather than any grand facilities.

Guests have free on-site parking, with space for three or four cars on the driveway depending on vehicle size, plus an electric vehicle charge point. Reception is staffed around the clock, and pets are welcome, making this an easy base for those travelling with dogs or arriving outside normal hours. There's no restaurant on site, but a pub, bar and eatery can all be found nearby in the village.

Withypool sits within Exmoor National Park, making it a natural choice for walking and cycling, and horse riding is available locally too. It's a straightforward, quiet spot best suited to those who want Exmoor on their doorstep rather than extensive on-site facilities.
