We recently stayed at the Royal Oak in East Levant and had the pleasure of lodging in Flint Cottage. It was ideal for a short break, comfortable, characterful, and perfectly appointed for a peaceful getaway. The food was a standout. Every meal far exceeded the usual expectations of “pub grub”, thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and utterly delicious. You could tell the kitchen team truly takes pride in their craft. The staff were consistently excellent, attentive, and friendly without being overbearing. A special mention goes to Jess, an absolute star. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and her warm approach made a genuine difference to our stay. She even whipped up a perfect true pink gin. Legendary! Big thank you to everyone at the Royal Oak. You made our visit feel special, and we’re already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommended for anyone in need of a relaxing countryside escape. One of the best Butcombe Inns we have seen.

If only we could give no stars, but the one star is for Jemima; the member of staff who saved our weekend. Jemima deserves a service award. There are no stars for the appalling conditions we found the cottage in. The cottage is beyond tired: thread bare rugs and carpets, a sofa misshapen and stained and torn, musty, poor repair works. The white plastic on the microwave now orange with age; holes in the kitchen work top and crumbling plasterwork. Outside was just as bad; covered in aged cobwebs and windows in such poor condition that the cracks in the paintwork had cracks. When you’ve waited three years for a weekend away or not, the condition is unacceptable. Made worse by poor advertising as the booking site had photos of Mulberry cottage and we were placed into Blackberry; indeed a two bed cottage, but a kitchen in the space of a corridor rather than a room; not what we had booked. We are relatively local, but I can only imagine the horror of someone who’s spent the day travelling, only to find this hovel on arrival. Thank you to Jemima who found us a room at their newly refurbished sister pub, The White Horse at Chilgrove. Exceptional rooms, food and staff here. It saved our precious weekend, even if they could only accommodate us for one night. Definitely be returning to The White Horse - avoiding The Royal Oak at all costs.

We came here for dinner by chance after a day out and we're glad we did! The food was delicious and the staff were so friendly and attentive it made for a perfect end to the day. The cream brulee was amazing, just a shame it was a special and not a permanent menu item! We look forward to coming back again the next time we're in the area.

A great country pub, well managed by Jemima and her team. Good service, food, friendly staff, pleasant surroundings and good beers! Well worth a visit. For me, 5-star!! I will definitely be going back soon, with friends and even solo. It's just what I look for in a Countty pub...

Absolutely gorgeous food and such friendly staff. Warm and cozy with the fire going. Absolutely worth the visit, especially on a lazy afternoon or on the way back from the beach as we did! Very accommodating to our little one and nothing was too much for them.

Great pub with excellent service A lovely old 'proper' village pub. Great service and food (just the right sized portions for dinner and breakfast as well. Room was initially warm (we were fine in January without the radiator on all weekend) and the mattress was very soft and bouncy (for us at least compared to what we are used to).
