The Royal Oak also houses a small village shop and post office selling newspapers, bread, milk, and basic supplies.

Dulverton, around 7 miles south, is a handsome small town known as the southern gateway to Exmoor, with a mini-supermarket, butcher, post office, National Park Visitor Centre, and a good selection of independent shops and restaurants. Minehead is the main town in West Somerset, approximately 12 miles away.

It is located next to a river and stone bridge and the garden backs onto the water so a lovely place to sit. The cottage had a few issues - the chimney was out of service and emitted a smoky smell during our stay. The bathroom floor needs attention. There is also nowhere to hang clothes to dry outside. Overall we found it a pleasant location and a short drive from the natural beauty of Exmoor - theTarr steps are only 3 miles away and Dunkery beacon a short drive. We recommend Horner Wood for a walk. ##### Sophie H.

There are walks from the cottage to Tarr Steps and along the Ex, our son enjoyed the challenging cycling, we enjoyed pootling in Dulverton, and going to Lynmouth via the Barle Valley and Watersmeet. Swimming at Cow Castle was magical. A lovely cottage in a beautiful area, and so quaint and quiet. ##### Lydia D. ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Cheltenham Chase Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Delta-By-Marriott-Cheltenham-Chase-Hotel.h9657.Hotel-Information) > - [Splash Landings Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-Splash-Landings-Hotel.h1160988.Hotel-Information) > - [Alcombe House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Minehead-Hotels-Alcombe-House-Hotel.h46946835.Hotel-Information) > - [Exmoor White Horse Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Minehead-Hotels-Exmoor-White-Horse-Inn.h2254478.Hotel-Information) > - [Etrop Grange Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Etrop-Grange.h49116.Hotel-Information) > - [The Derwent Manor Boutique Hotel ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Consett-Hotels-The-Derwent-Manor-Boutique-Hotel.h9535.Hotel-Information) > - [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > - [Lakeside Lodge with 6 berth hot tub and private fishing peg](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lincoln-Hotels-Delightful-Lakeside-Lodge-With-Hot-Tub-Private-Fishing-Peg-With-Stunning-View.h27123912.Hotel-Information) > - [Bredbury Hall by Accor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stockport-Hotels-Bredbury-Hall.h64706.Hotel-Information) > - [Delta Hotels by Marriott Warwick](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Warwick-Hotels-M40-J15-Warwick-Hotel.h10444.Hotel-Information) > - [Cascade Cottage, Exford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Minehead-Hotels-Cascade-Cottage-Sleeps-6-Exford-Exmoor-National-Park.h22003208.Hotel-Information) > - [Forge Cottage, Wootton Courtenay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Minehead-Hotels-Forge-Cottage-Sleeps-Up-To-3-Guests-Wootton-Courtenay-Village.h22000293.Hotel-Information) > - [DoubleTree by Hilton Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Manchester-Airport.h26104.Hotel-Information) > - [Saltmoore](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-Raithwaite-Sandsend.h4276816.Hotel-Information) > - [Magnolia Cottage, Porlock](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Minehead-Hotels-Magnolia-Cottage.h25725676.Hotel-Information) > - [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > - [Urban Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bournemouth-Hotels-Urban-Beach-Hotel.h2814369.Hotel-Information) > - [Delta Hotels by Marriott Colchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colchester-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Colchester.h14251.Hotel-Information) > - [Horner Cottage, Luccombe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Minehead-Hotels-Horner-Cottage.h25725889.Hotel-Information) > - [Wychnor Park Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burton-On-Trent-Hotels-Wychnor-Park-Country-Club.h1927715.Hotel-Information) > - [St Anthony's Cottage, Porlock Weir](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Minehead-Hotels-St-Anthonys-Cottage.h21990222.Hotel-Information) > - [DoubleTree by Hilton Stoke on Trent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Stoke-On-Trent.h6788.Hotel-Information) > - [Ox Hotel Manchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Milton-Manchester-Hotel.h18787802.Hotel-Information) > - [Caverswall Castle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-Caverswall-Castle.h23959535.Hotel-Information) > - [De Vere Tortworth Court](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-De-Vere-Tortworth-Court.h570412.Hotel-Information) > - [Makeney Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Belper-Hotels-Makeney-Hall-Hotel.h1206529.Hotel-Information) > - [Glen Lodge Self Catering](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Minehead-Hotels-Glen-Lodge-Self-Catering.h36475129.Hotel-Information) > - [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information) > - [Luxury caravan at Butlins Skegness](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skegness-Hotels-Luxury-Caravan-At-Butlins-Skegness.h36376338.Hotel-Information) ---
