The room was a family room which was ample for the two of us. We had dinner and breakfast which was good as the hotel is in a very rural area which suited us. Car park is ample with three car charging points.

Nice country pub

Nice country pub room was clean and comfortable with ensuite.
Staff are great and the pub has a nice relaxed feel with a bar area used by the locals (Friendly) with everything you want from a country pub.
Restaurant area separate from the pub with a good varied menu.the food I had was great and good value for money.
I will definitely stay here again if I am in the area.

A great Inn with lots of character

A wonderful family owned Inn which is situated in a beautiful location. My family and I were welcomed by the owners and were made to feel very welcome by them and all their friendly, chatty staff. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they were very accommodating. The Rest and Be Thankful has a lot of history and character and there are lots of photos of the Inn and surrounding area from many years ago. The Inn was kept very clean as was our room and we had a comfortable stay. The food was excellent, always hot and cooked well and was delicious. The bar has a good selection of local ales and cider on draft as well as other tipples. Will definitely book and stay here again in the future. Thank you to Eric, Caz and all the staff for providing us with a comfortable and enjoyable stay!

Rest & Be Thankful

We were very impressed with the Covid 19 preparations that the Inn had put in place, including taking our temperature on arrival. We were warmly greeted and our room was spotlessly clean. The evening meal was excellent, as was the breakfast. A very enjoyable stay, would return. The only observation is that the furniture looks a little tired and would benefit from new dining tables, and some of the bedroom furniture. Carpet was also clean but outdated. However we enjoyed our stay.

One must be aware from the outset that you are staying in a country pub and not an hotel. With that in mind you can appreciate that the amenities on offer are limited but adequate. The pub was always spotlessly clean, the staff were always helpful and the accommodation was very good. The room that I occupied was a bit noisy during the daytime because it overlooked the main crossroads but after about 8pm everything quietened down. The room was quite large with a large wardrobe and plenty of shelves for clothes. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom had all that one could ask for except that it had only a shower and not a bath. Not a problem for me but for others it might be. The dining room offered a comprehensive menu of high quality cooking and twice a week, Wednesday evenings and Sunday lunchtimes, there was a carvery on offer. The bar offered an extensive choice of quality beers. I would have liked however to see a wider choice of non alcoholic beers. With so many choices of non alcoholic beers in the bitter range ie, Adnams Ghost Ship now available it would have been nice to have had that choice instead of the usual lager substitutes.
My stay at the Rest & Be Thankful was a very pleasant experience and I would recommend the venue to anyone who wants to explore Exmoor from this quite central location at Wheddon Cross. Thank you to the landlord Eric and his staff for a very pleasant stay.

The rooms were comfortable and clean. Our room had an excellent view of Exmoor and Dunkery Beacon - how fab! Unfortunately the room and bathroom was very hot and we couln't turn the radiators down or off. However it didn't affect our overall experience. Would certainly use again.

An Oasis in the Hills

A place I have stayed at before. Pleasant room with good facilities. Bed very comfortable, quiet room. Small window looking across to the hills & air conditioning equipment - not the most exciting! Can a little noisy when operating but didn't bother me. Good choice on evening menu & good portions. Tasty, pleasantly served by an efficient staff. Breakfast traditional with locally produced produce. All in all a very pleasant stop. Definitely value for money.
