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.

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.

Great location with beautiful views. It was nice to be staying out of the busy towns and felt a bit more relaxed because of it, and it was still easy enough to get to all the places we wanted to. The staff were very friendly and both the Sunday roast and the breakfast we had were delicious. For an older building the interior and our room have been kept well maintained and decorated. We had a lovely modern bathroom with a large shower and the room was light and clean with a comfortable and good size bed.

I thought it was a bit pricey, although it was the one of the most affordable options that I could find in the lake District at the time of booking. And seeing as though I don't have any complaints and the stay was lovely I can't really have too many reservations about what I paid.

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.

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.

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.

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!

A comfortable hotel with a very fine restaurant only 20 minutes walk from the centre of Grasmere. The bus to Keswick will also drop you at the door. It is a great location for walking the hills east of Grasmere. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was excellent, typical Lake District fare but some of the best I’ve tasted including lamb shank, steak and kidney pudding and sticky toffee pudding. The atmosphere was good with real fires and exposed beams - an old inn but feeling very comfortable

My only niggle was a kitchen fan which made the bedroom quite noisy between 5 and 9.30

Booking the hotel was a last-minute decision, but it turned out to be a hidden gem. A short walk from Grasmere village, it was peaceful yet convenient, and I could leave my car before heading off on my hike. The staff were wonderfully friendly, and my room was spotless, with a beautifully made bed and a little tea and coffee setup—perfect after a long day. The mattress was incredibly comfortable, and I slept like a dream. Though close to the road, the mountain views more than made up for it. A fantastic stay—sometimes, last-minute plans work out perfectly. I will definitely be back again!

Breakfast quality good and service excellent . Evening meals good but worth changing at least part of the menu every day even only if one item changed The staff were very attentive and welcoming . Excellent people , nothing too much trouble

If you choose porridge then it should be considered as an alternative to a cereal and not charged as an extra if you also have a cooked breakfast . Seems penny pinching and does not happen elsewhere Some minor Room 2 issues could be addressed - eg absence of hooks on doors for coats, mirror light not working, no shelves in bathroom or shower for toiletries, No glasses for water Worth installing an EV charging facility in the car park.

In my opinion it's a perfect location not too far from the centre of Grasmere. There are walks from the door enabling you to leave the car behind. It's a small but very friendly and comfortable place to stay. Really enjoyed the breakfast variations and also had an excellent choice on the dinner menu. Nice to come back after a long walk to find the fires have been lit which makes it warm and welcoming. Staff all very friendly and helpful and they do work very hard and it's all done with a smile too.

We had an amazing stay at the Travellers Rest, we were originally booked in for 4 nights and we loved it so much we stayed for an extra night. Perfectly located for walking in the fells, some great walks straight from the hotel. The breakfast each morning was lovely and filled us up for our long days walking. Every meal we had was 10/10, specially the fish and chips, the chips are amazing. The staff were all super friendly and welcoming and ensured our stay was as perfect as possible. Wish we didn’t have to leave!
