Pub/hotel is a 10 minute walk from Grasmere village, on a road-side location. Interior is quite nice; tradtional country inn. Service was average and room I stayed in was clean but pretty basic. For the money I would choose an alternative hotel next time. Road noise in the morning was intrusive, and rather frustratingly they only serve breakfast after 8.15am,... More

We stopped here for Sunday lunch, the outside appearance is very appealing. We ate outside in the beer garden as the sun was very hot. We opted for the 2 courses for 12.95. The food was nice, though most likely a little pre-prepared as our main course arrived about 3 mins after ordering. but none the less still very tasty.... More

Received a wonderful welcome and found a cosy seat next to the window and real fire. I enjoyed the steak menu set meal which was good value. The starter of Caesar salad was creative and full of flavour. For main I had salmon which was a good size but the vegetables were full of natural flavour and not over cooked.... More

We were on our way back to Ambleside after a walk in the Threlkeld area when our car decided to just die on us - thankfully we managed to limp to the Travellers Rest where we sat beside the fire in the lobby with our worn out Border Collie. We both ordered the soup to warm us up - tomato,... More

We did not stay in the accommodation but our party of four stopped for lunch. It was cold and rainy outside but the bar and restaurant was warm and cosy, very inviting. Wonderful young man behind the bar, very polite and helpful. We all had delicious home made soup for starters and 3 steaks and 1 pork chop, all cooked... More

The wife and I (plus dog) were in the area to climb Helm Crag so called into the Travellers Rest first for lunch and a drink. They were happy for the dog to come into the bar area which was great. The food arrived quickly and was very good and the beer excellent, The staff were very friendly and were... More

Had a nice stay for 2 nights with friends. very welcoming open fire , friendly and helpful staff and good beer! Rooms have been updated and now very nice apart from a few little things like kettle lead not reaching plugs but they were nothing major. Had very nice meal and excellent breakfasts with great service. Shame the pool table... More

Excellent stay, staff very welcoming and attentive. Evening meal very good with no pressure to upswell which is great these days. Breakfast was superb and set us up for a good 10 mile walk with no need to re fuel. I would not think twice about recommending to friends or family. This was our second visit to the travellers rest... More

Having arrived here after staying in a similar priced hotel in Fort William I was very disappointed. Rooms were pokey but shower good and bed comfortable. Food was nothing to write home about. Service at breakfast poor, poached eggs were like bullets (there was a party of 8 of us and we all received same) and we were told that... More
