Description:
The Royal Oak Inn which is set in the picturesque village of Winsford, on the edge of the Exmoor National Park, dates from the 12th century. Its charming thatched roof, open fireplaces and oak beams have been subtly combined with the modern facilities expected by guests. The bar offers a cosy haven for a relaxing drink and friendly conversation in front of log fires. Light meals are available in the bar where we offer a variety of home made pies, home cooked hams, pates and the like; a wide range of simple but appetising food. Our restaurant prides itself on its freshly cooked quality cuisine and a small, but select wine cellar. The menus are changed daily to give you a wide selection of traditionally English dishes. Furnished to a high standard of elegance our lounges ensure that your stay will be relaxing. Whether you are reading a book, or drinking a cup of coffee, you will really feel that you are enjoying the comforts of a traditional country inn. AA "3 Star".

Location:
Winsford is signposted off the main Minehead to Tiverton road (A396)

Room Bedding:
The Inn itself has eight well appointed bedrooms, some with four poster beds, all with private bathroom. Each has been restored and decorated while maintaining its cosiness and charm. The Annex has a further six attractive bedrooms, all with bathrooms, which form a tasteful development within the courtyard of the Inn.

Activities:
Winsford is ideally situated for walking, riding, shooting and fishing. Within about a mile is the Caratacus Stone on Winsford Hill, thought to have been inscribed in the Dark Ages. On the same hill are the Wambarrows, three burial mounds, probably of the Beaker period or Bronze Age and between 2,500 and 4,000 years old. The Tarr steps, about 5 miles away, are considered to form the finest bridge of its type in England. Minehead and Porlock are within easy driving distance as are a wealth of charming, unspoilt villages.
