Nothing we was happy

Lovely little break, they kindly welcomed our 2 doggos. The staff were lovely and friendly, room was comfortable and had everything we needed. Breakfast was yummy and it was great value for money.

Buffet breakfast was minimal (no fruit) and some traffic noise at night.

Lots of character, but with bright modern bedrooms. Engaging staff. Great views..

We had such a great stay at The Traveller’s Rest! From the moment we walked in, the staff were super friendly and welcoming. You could tell they actually enjoyed being there, which made the whole atmosphere feel really positive. They were also more than happy to make small adjustments to ensure our stay was just right—for example, they gladly swapped ham for bacon on a breakfast dish without hesitation. Big thanks to the whole team—you made our visit extra special! The location is spot on, especially if you’re into hiking. Gorgeous surroundings and a peaceful setting—it really doesn’t get much better. Absolute chef’s kiss!

Right on main road so traffic can be noisy if sleeping with windows open

Lovely clean rooms, friendly staff

Only a couple of very minor things! Rooms face out over the main road, so just be aware that there will be some noise from vehicles if you want the window open. Also the blind didn't go all the way down to the windowsill so there was some light coming in at night.

Small but comfortable room, nicely decorated and very clean. Lovely big shower! Delicious food, exceptional and friendly staff who made our stay as comfortable as possible. The breakfast is well worth it, they provide packed lunches if you need, and dinner was so tasty we ate there multiple times! It's in an ideal location - a 15 min walk from Grasmere with great walks starting right on your doorstep.

Great location, close to the fells. I stayed on two occasions and ended up in the same room, which was a nice size room with a great view of Stone Arthur. Staff very friendly and helpful.. highly recommend. Modern rooms, yet old charming interior downstairs in the bar area. A nice building and a great place to stay if you're visiting Grasmere.

Can't think of anything we didn't like. Maybe the door to the bathroom could be less noisy to shut in middle of the night?

Friendly staff, comfortable furnishings and bed. Great views and nice walk into Grasmere. Breakfast was good too. Free parking.

Good size room, 10 min walk into Grasmere with good parking. Very quiet considering it's a pub and resturant below. Bathroom was clean and excellent shower. They let dogs stay.

The stairs were a bit steep, but not insurmountable.

The staff were friendly and professional, and nothing was too much trouble. Everyone made a fuss of our dog, Pippa, which was nice for her. Our room was clean and tidy, and amenities acceptable. The bed was comfortable, and the shower was serviceable. The food was superb, and breakfast was tasty and well cooked and served. We will be returning to the Travellers Rest again.

The generator is a little noisy, however isn’t on during the night. The bed is very comfortable but squeaked a little. The hairdryer is useless, bring your own.

Love the building, the staff are lovely and friendly, the food is absolutely gorgeous. We stayed in room 8 which is clean, cozy, dog friendly, and has a view of the hills at the back of the property. Breakfast is served between 8:15 and 9:30, you can help yourself to cereal, toast, yoghurt etc, and there’s a variety of cooked options to choose from. The property is situated on a main road, with a substantial car park, a bus stop 1 minute away, and it’s a short walk into Grasmere. There’s a beer garden to the right, we sat with our morning coffee on the benches at the front of the property.

Everything was perfect

Perfect location and wonderful staff .

Room needed a little TLC with a few loose accessories in the bathroom etc. but nothing that ruined my stay.

Fantastic location for walking and traveling around the lakes with a large enough car park. Staff were great and bar/restaurant was very comfortable. Room was good and considering next to the road was surprisingly quiet. Food was exceptional

It is best if you choose to stay here to go to bed by 11pm & awaken by 7.30am, as the sound of local traffic can cause some a disruption to sleep, but between these times the noise reduces considerably & a restful night's sleep is guaranteed. My room was proficient for the length of time I stayed & was very comfortable & extremely comfortable & very clean. The bathroom was a little cramped but functional, but be mindful when taking a shower as the screen is designed for a larger shower unit & often the power of the water pressure would cause the water to spray the bathroom floor, maybe a shower mat or slip mat would be advisory. I enjoyed both nights eating in the restaurant & found the food to be delightful & extremely tasty. The bar provides plenty of local brews & spirits which I enjoyed on the settee by the environmental log fire, the staff are extremely friendly & helpful if or when you need to make choice decisions.(Please remember to tip generously) Breakfast was basic for a buffet choice, as the European pallet usually enjoys cheese & hams as well as fruits for their start in the morning, but as a national choice is very suitable for this in the UK, hot breakfast choices where more than acceptable & very filling for a days venture or walks.

The staff were lovely, and the evening meal food was great! They have a couple of fab fireplaces to sit next to, great for when it's cold outside. Parking was free next door so you didn't have to go far. The shower was also brilliant - didn't know when to get out :)
