The Royal Oak Inn, Meavy, Devon - The perfect Dartmoor hideaway for drinking and dining

The Royal Oak Inn is a free house owned by Burrator Parish Council.

It is a former 15th-century church house inn and takes its name from the oak tree on the village green, which is reputedly some 800 years old. This is one of the few remaining traditional pubs that has a flagstone floor, old beams and a large open fireplace. The Royal Oak Inn is situated within the Dartmoor National Park, in an idyllic location next to the village green in Meavy.

And the wood fire provides a warm welcome on those cold winter evenings.
