The Rest And Be Thankful Inn - A comfortable country inn with dining options and proximity to Exmoor attractions

The Rest And Be Thankful Inn offers a level of comfort typically found in a four-star hotel, featuring spacious rooms equipped with flat-screen TVs, tea and coffee facilities, and private bathrooms with walk-in showers. A basket of high-quality toiletries and bathrobes adds extra touches of luxury. The on-site restaurant serves American, British, and local cuisine, while the bar area has a traditional country pub atmosphere with log fires in winter. An adjoining room seating up to 16 is available for private events. Guests can access the Sporting Room, a function space suitable for meetings or gatherings, via a curved staircase from the restaurant. The Rest And Be Thankful Inn is a 20-minute drive from Minehead and provides enviable access to nearby attractions like the West Somerset Railway (less than 16.1 km away), Wimbleball Lake Activities Centre, and Porlock Weir Harbour.

Pros

The bar features four draught beers, real ale, wine, and spirits.

The front bedrooms are large and spacious with carpeted or parquet flooring.

Complimentary Wi-Fi and tour/ticket assistance are available.

Cons

The nearest airport, Exeter International, is 70 km away.

“This family-run Inn struck me as particularly well-managed, prioritizing comfort with spotless rooms and handmade food-the pies especially stood out. Its location works well for exploring Exmoor, and the staff's helpfulness, even during emergencies, is commendable. I think that it is a solid choice, with a relaxed atmosphere.”
