What a charming property. An old inn so it should be expected it is not modern but has been sensitively maintained. Staff were helpful and the manager was very hospitable. Food was exceptional. If you want a more traditional stay in a lovely location within the Lakes I would recommend

The location is wonderful as it’s nice and quiet!! Very accommodating to us and the dog and was kept clean and tidy. The food and service was excellent would rate it 6 stars if there was an option to. Our shower room needed a little bit of TLC albeit in full working order which would be the only negative comment I could make. All in all a wonderful stay and would happily recommend to others.

It's a very lovely place in the midst of the Lake District with hiking trails and Grasmere (20min) very close by. The building is quite old and very charming and the room was cozy. The didn't dine here, but the pints wear tasteful. Breakfast was good, but some could have been more fresh.

Fantastic setting

The overall experience of staying at The Travellers Rest was very pleasant. The setting is fabulous, the room was quite comfortable and the proximity to Grasmere mde visiting the town very easy. The min concern we had was the price of breakfast compared to other hotels we have stayed in. We did not believe it was value for money.

A peaceful retreat

What a wonderful couple of days myself, my wife and our beagle have just had at the Travellers Rest. Nothing is too much trouble. All the staff were so friendly and happy to help. The food is excellent and I would highly recommend calling in even if its just to have a drink in comfortable surroundings with spectacular views. Thank you

On arrival, parking was restricted due to workmen’s vans taking over half of the car park. Our superior double room was very noisy from traffic noise as it only had secondary glazing and faced the main road. The room was cold and we were not able to turn on the heating ourselves. At 5.30pm We complained to reception who then agreed to turn it on. It went off again at 8.30pm and did not resume until 7.30am the next morning. It was a really cold night.
