About The Rest and Be Thankful Inn
The Rest and Be Thankful Inn is a traditional coaching inn set at Wheddon Cross, its name and character rooted in the long history of travellers pausing here on the edge of Exmoor. It offers just eight rooms, giving it the feel of a small, personable hotel rather than a large chain property, while still running a proper bar and restaurant on site.
Guests have breakfast included and can eat in the restaurant or relax in the bar, with drinks available in the room too. The hotel also runs to facilities not always found in small country inns, including an indoor swimming pool, a gym, and a spa and sauna, along with a garden, lift access, air conditioning and free WiFi throughout. Meeting rooms and a wedding venue make it suitable for events as well as overnight stays, and porter and concierge services are on hand for guests who want a bit more looking after.
Free on-site parking makes it an easy stop for those exploring Exmoor National Park and the Somerset coast, and there are pubs, restaurants and entertainment nearby in Wheddon Cross itself. It works equally well as a base for walking the moor or as a straightforward overnight stop on a longer Somerset trip.
