Bed and Breakfast Description

The Rest and Be Thankful is an early 19th century coaching Inn at the heart of Exmoor National Park, providing first-class bed & breakfast accommodation.

This popular Inn and restaurant is in the centre of Wheddon Cross, the highest village on Exmoor, and a perfect base from which to explore this beautiful National Park.

The Inn was originally a staging post for travellers on their way between Dunster and Dulverton, and you will still find a warm welcome, good food and extremely comfortable accommodation awaiting you there today, almost 200 years later!

The bedrooms at the Rest and Be Thankful provide guests with a level of comfort more usually found in a four-star hotel rather than a Country Inn. All our bedrooms are en-suite with good quality furnishings. Our comfortable beds are made up with crisp cotton sheets. Soft white bathrobes and a basket containing good quality toiletries and face cloths provide extra touches of luxury.

Great care and attention has been taken to ensure your complete enjoyment, from double glazing to sound proofing the floor so that no noise penetrates from the bar below. The two bedrooms at the front of the building are large and spacious and the three at the rear enjoy views of Dunkery Beacon and the surrounding countryside.

Each room has a mini bar, safe deposit box, hair dryer, tea and coffee making facilities, television and telephone. All bedrooms are non-smoking. There are ironing facilities on the first floor landing.

Our family bedroom can accommodate two adults and two children or up to four adults in comfort. A choice of a double bed and two singles or four singles beds is available in this room.

Local Attractions

Walking
Exmoor is wonderful walking country for both long distance ramblers and people who enjoy walking shorter distances just to enjoy the scenery. There are over 680 miles of official footpaths and bridleways on Exmoor, including the South West Coast Path and the Two Moors Way. Guided walks are frequently arranged by National Park Rangers, details of which are available at any of the visitor centres around the moor. Another long distance path just opened is the Coleridge Way, which runs from Nether Stowey to Porlock, linking the Quantock Hills with Exmoor. This route runs through Wheddon Cross, making the Rest and Be Thankful Inn a good stop-off point.

Cycling
Bridleways on the moor are also open to cyclists, providing some challenging terrain for adventurous mountain bikers!

Horse riding
Many people say that one of the best ways to see Exmoor is from the back of a horse! Exmoor certainly lives up to its reputation as being some of the best riding country in the UK.

Fly-fishing
Exmoor has a number of rivers, lakes and reservoirs, many of which provide good fly fishing opportunities.

Wimbleball Lake
This lake, which covers 374 acres, offers a variety of activities for all the family.
