'a restful place' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'be at the back of beyond' is the wordplay.
'at the back of' says to take the final letters (I've seen 'at the back' mean this).
The final letter of 'beyond' is 'd'.
'be'+'d'='BED'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bed that I've seen before include "might be laid here" , "Sleeping place" , "For sleep and flowers" , "Matrimonial duties" , "One with flower, sleeper, in" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
