Overview
A 19th-century pub high up in the Exmoor National Park, The Rest and Be Thankful Inn overlooks Dunkery Beacon and was once a staging post. Crackling log fires add to the convivial atmosphere of the bar populated by locals and visitors alike. A range of traditional meals served in the bar and restaurant include beef lasagne or smoked haddock gratin. In summer, enjoy lovely countryside views from the patio.

About the area
Somerset remains rural and unspoiled, and ever popular areas to visit are the limestone and red sandstone Mendip Hills rising to over 1,000 feet, and by complete contrast, to the south and southwest, the flat landscape of the Somerset Levels. Another popular spot, the Quantocks, once the haunt of poets Coleridge and Wordsworth, are noted for their gentle slopes, heather-covered moorland expanses and red deer.
