Lovely Sunday carvery
We visited in a Sunday during Covid restrictions and the food was lovely. Great value for money. On Sundays the menu is restricted but the carvery was very yummy. We had drinks and pudding and we felt it was one of the best pubs for value for money. Very dog friendly too.
Lunch on 4th July
A lovely stop off for lunch after a 3 hour journey. It was the first day pubs and restaurants opened and this inn provided food and drink in a marquee. Although very windy, it was a cute place to start off my journey. Food was good and I was the very first food customer since lockdown. Thank you
Great place for food
We have not stayed there as we only live about 20 miles away but have called in many times when we are in the area. Its's a warm and welcoming place with friendly staff. The food is fantastic and the carvery on a Wedneday is brilliant.
Snowdrop Valley Without A Welcome
We called in here after a walk in the beautiful snowdrop valley. It proved to be an unsatisfactory experience owing to landlord Eric’s total disinterest in anyone but his regulars, which verged on being rude. Had there been another hostelry nearby, I would have told him what he could do with his drinks and left. The situation was salvaged somewhat by a barmaid who was blessed with customer service skills. If you go here, my recommendation if you are met by the landlord, is you ask if there is someone else available to serve you. I dare you !
An Exmoor gem
Just returned from a 3 night stay at The Rest & Be Thankful, and absolutely loved it. We had a spotlessly clean room, with a view of Dunkery Beacon and a comfy bed. Slept like a log. We ate in each evening and thoroughly enjoyed every meal. Fantastic home cooked food at a very reasonable cost. We were recommended to stay here by friends who live in the area - spot on! It is a fantastic base for exploring Exmoor and the coast and we will definitely be paying a return visit very soon.
