Whilst walking the coastal footpath my friend and I decided to head inland, as there was a long wait for the next ferry that crosses the river. We saw that a pub was marked on our map at nearby Bigbury, but had no idea if it would be open or be able to offer us lunch. WOW! What a turn-up.... More

The title of my review makes me sound like a chav with no appreciation for good food;nothing could be further from the truth. In fact I am not much of a chip eater, but the chips I had with my main course at The Royal Oak Inn were possibly the nicest I've ever had and they deserve top billing.The rest... More

Ivan has achieved a splendid balance between providing guests with a stylish, contemporary environment that has also maintained it's role as the local village pub.. We had a great night in the bar with the regulars (and visiting darts team) before heading up to our beautifully renovated room for a splendid nights sleep...(not sure if that was due to the... More

A well run pub/restaurant with rooms above set in a tiny village a couple of miles from the sea. Really great value for a clean and beautifully renovated room. Shower was a bit of a let down and was very small but hey, we enjoyed a great nights sleep, woke to a beautiful view and a wonderful and leisurely breakfast,... More

The bedrooms are well equipped, clean and comfortable. The dining room is very pleasant with good space between tables. The dinner menu provided a good selection of dishes, which... More

As we were a group of 10 we booked in advance for lunch, but despite being late arriving (we were walking to the venue) we were made very welcome. We hadn't intended to, but ended up having a 3 course lunch as the menu looked too good to miss. We certainly weren't disappointed and I wish that we had come... More

We have stayed at The Royal Oak many times over the years, whilst under various landlords. This stay was by far and away the best. The current owners revamped the pub last August and everything is to an extremely high standard. The beds are really comfortable, the towels large and fluffy, the rooms beautifully decorated in a contemporary style and... More
