Welcome

Stephen and Julie would like to welcome you to the Royal Oak Inn.

The Royal Oak Inn, Meavy -
The perfect Dartmoor hideaway for drinking and dining.
The Royal Oak at Meavy, near Yelverton, is steeped in history. Tradition has it that it was known to King John and his followers in the chase. King Charles is said to have hidden in the large split oak that stands on the green in front of the inn – no doubt longing for a yard of ale as he sat shivering. It is well known that the oak was used as a peat store by the publican in years gone by. As you would expect the histories of the oak and the inn are inextricably linked.
There is
no doubt that the friendly ghosts that wander the passages of the public
house would have admired the oak as we do today. The history of the inn and
its surroundings are a source of great pride for Julie and Stephen who have
recently taken over there. If character is want you want from your visit
then you could find no better place! Charm abounds, with exposed beams and
original slate flooring. There is a large welcoming log fire to warm
yourself by after a stroll around Burrator reservoir.
We hope to see you soon,
Stephen & Julie
