Very positive experience, and definitely one to go back to.
The welcome was warm and genuine. The landlady was very helpful throughout our stay.

If your looking for genuine local folk in a comfy stay, Rest & Be Thankful is for you.
I booked this hotel for a stop over on route to Woolacombe Having read some of the previous reviews, naturally I was a little hesitant on what to expect and of the mind set "well its only for one night" and then of course there was the comments made about Eric and the property being dated Well I can only and honestly speak as I find We pulled into the carpark around 6pm there were some very jolly farmers having a well earned beer outside they were very friendly and pleasant as we walked by into the hotel Once inside we were greeted very warmly my partner couldn't help herself and said " where's grumpy then" (OMG) and the lady duly called Eric over and a very light hearted conversation was had around the pervious negative review left especially around Eric who I have to say was anything but rude just a normal hard working Devonshire gent We were given the keys to the room and yes to some it may have appeared dated but lets not forget this is an old quintessential English Devon pub the rooms were spotlessly clean amazingly comfy bed and all the room amenities anyone could wish for from bathrobes to an abundance of teas and coffees with plenty of milk pods too We booked an evening meal which was very enjoyable we then sat outside to have an evening night cap and a further chat to the very friendly locals Great nights sleep was had Breakfast was first class and freshly cooked and bounty full presented well and piping hot too Just after breakfast is where our stay hit a stumbling block after breakfast I went outside to find that I had foolishly left the camping fridge plugged in the van battery was flat I walked back in and approached Eric to explain my situation and did he know of a garage close by Eric to his credit said to me give 5 mins and he would bring his car around and that he had jump leads to help me get it started Unfortunately battery was so flat the it wouldn't start Eric said don't worry phoned a man from the garage and...
There was nothing we didn't like, it was all perfect.

Incredible value for money.
Dinner and breakfast were great! Staff very friendly and the Inn itself was very well run and there were no problems. I had a single room which was small but not cramped. The floor creaked and so did the bed but that only seemed to go with the general ambiance.
Noisy generator or some such which meant not having the window open with the tv on and the bathroom ceiling needs some paint.

Middle of Nowhere
Spacious room which was spotlessly clean,trouser press,tray for dirty boots and a safe! The addition of bath robes was a nice touch but this could have been taken up a notch by providing bath sheets instead of bath towels and I have never had face cloths provided before
Unfortunately Eric? has no people skills and every encounter with him made me feel uncomfortable

Attentive host thanks Eric, restful stay and very close to the nearby park.
Comfortable beds and breakfast was good!!
The shower worked but could have been better by not losing pressure.

Ideal for a quiet stay but conveniently close to Minehead and Dunster castle.
During the evening meal we were presented with a breakfast men from which we made our choices. I chose porridge followed by a full English. The food was served hot and cooked to perfection, accompanied by wholemeal toast plenty of butter and conserves, coffee and orange juice. The previous evening I had a chicken caesar salad which was nicely presented and plentiful. The catering presented real value for money and the drinks were not expensive.
The gentleman who ran the bar and, it seems ecvery other aspect of the Inn was very friendly and conscientious. He made feel welcome. I wouldn't hesitate to stay hnere again.
Our room was large, well furnished and immaculately clean my only complaint would be the shower head which was loose and needed attention.

Comfortable, Country Pub with spacious welcoming rooms.
The location was nice and quiet, and was at the cross roads in a little village. It was comfortable and the room was very spacious. I really enjoyed the food and the welcome staff were lovely. I have recommended it to my family when I returned home from my work trip.
I can't really think of any thing.

Could be better
The landlord and staff were very friendly and my bag was carried to my room. There is a large free public car park adjacent to the pub. It is in a good location for exploring Exmoor. The breakfast and dinner were good. The view from the room was good but see below. The bathroom was tiny but OK.
The room needs an upgrade. The single mattress was lumpy. The chair was a worn out upright dining chair. The kettle would not fit under the tap. A packet of biscuits would have been nice.
There were 2 extra steps to my room in addition to the main stairs but no handrail.
There was a mid level wall partially blocked my view, which I accept, but the faded plastic flowers are an abomination. Get rid of them asap before anyone else gets nightmares!
Desserts are overpriced at £8, even more than I would expect to pay in my area of London.
4.0 / 10.0
Okay, but dated decor and dissatisfying food mean it was not worth the amount we paid.
The room was clean and spacious, and the location was very convenient for reaching the places I wanted to visit.
The staff were all very friendly as well.
The decor was very dated, with a 70s atmosphere reinforced by a trouser press being present. The hot tap sputtered and spat wildly, presumably with all the pressure the shower lacked, that being anemic at best.
The King bed we had paid for, at £120 for the night, was comfortable at first test, but on getting under the covers it was immediately apparent that it was two single beds pushed together, with the gap between the two being very evident to the touch under the sheet.
The food was subpar for the nearly £80 we paid, with venison bolognese for myself coming out and the only moisture being what little fat there was on the meat and the moisture in the noodles.
Myself and my fiancée both opted for Sticky Toffee pudding as dessert, reasoning that was a safe bet. It was promising at first glance, with springy cake, but on tasting it all the flavour was in the toffee sauce. We highly suspected that it had the same base as the Bread-and-butter pudding option, with only the sauce being changed.
We are not breakfast people, but even if we were we would have opted to look elsewhere, with the preorder breakfast menu giving options such as "You may pick ONE fruit from banana, apple, orange.." and the sandwiches having no vegetarian options, being all pork based or smoked haddock.
