Friendliness of staff second to none, nothing was too much trouble and we did have a couple of special requests. Most generous breakfast I've ever come across, and the quality of the food was excellent, both breakfast and dinner. Loved staying here and wouldn't hesitate to stay again if we are back in the area.

A great Inn with lots of character

A wonderful family owned Inn which is situated in a beautiful location. My family and I were welcomed by the owners and were made to feel very welcome by them and all their friendly, chatty staff. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they were very accommodating. The Rest and Be Thankful has a lot of history and character and there are lots of photos of the Inn and surrounding area from many years ago. The Inn was kept very clean as was our room and we had a comfortable stay. The food was excellent, always hot and cooked well and was delicious. The bar has a good selection of local ales and cider on draft as well as other tipples. Will definitely book and stay here again in the future. Thank you to Eric, Caz and all the staff for providing us with a comfortable and enjoyable stay!
