Absolutely love this quirky pub, what a great place to stay. Tim was a great host. The room was lovely and clean and tidy and very comfy, Tim made up the sofa bed just before we arrived to make it more comfy for two friends staying together. I loved the vintage pieces of furniture, gave the room character. The food was cooked to order, fresh and very tasty. We had a cooked breakfast each morning, a fish and chips one evening and were lucky to be there for the quiz night to taste the delicious curry. The pub is untouched by clinical modernisation and has lots of crazy quirky collections about the pub, I found them interesting and lots of fun. There is a pool table, and out the back a small courtyard. The owner and all his staff we came into contact were lovely and friendly, we felt like we belonged. When we come again we will definitely be choosing to stay at the Royal Oak. Thank you for a very enjoyable stay 😁👍

Stayed a couple of nights here whilst visiting Salcombe. Close enough to Salcombe to drive there in 10 minutes but away from the madness and crowds of Salcombe. Room was ideal for one person, clean and with a big newly renovated bathroom, good size TV and kettle. Quiet at night Very nice host who provided a great breakfast. Nice pub to spend time in at the evenings To be recommended

Lovely pub and the steak was outstanding. Friendly and competent bar staff and really enjoyed the "Penguins" live music on the Saturday night. Thank you all.

My wife and I stay in Malborough 3 of 4 times a year so we know the area very well. This pub is fantastic. I had possibly one of the nicest fish and chips I’ve ever had there. Beautifully cooked fish, batter not too heavy. Seriously good. And wonderfully lovely and friendly staff. Thanks so much!!! We will be back
