We stayed at the Traveller's Rest Inn for one night recently, and were impressed with the friendliness of the staff, the location and the extremely high quality of the meals we were served. We ate in the restaurant for our evening meal, and were really impressed with the service, presentation and quality of the food. Our breakfast the following morning was equally as good, with a very substantial and tasty full Cumbrian. Our room was comfortable, with pleasant decor, but I would also say that maybe a little more attention to detail is required with the cleaning, as we did find a few grubby marks on the doors in our room. However, this did not spoil what was a very pleasant stay at the Traveller's Rest.

Just enjoyed a 2 night stay here. Very friendly & helpful staff, the room was clean, bed very comfy. The food was very nice & reasonably priced. Great location within 10-15 mins of Ambleside, Windermere & around 20 mins to Keswick. Will definitely come back.

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.

Great Experience would love to return
This was my first trip on my own since my partner died in September. I needed to bite the bullet and see if I could visit they Lakes on my own. I have to say it was a huge success. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was extremely clean and comfortable. In fact to my surprise, even though I was alone in a different place, I slept really well. My dinner was absolutely delicious, I opted for a venison burger and after that didn’t have room for afters. After dinner, I felt really comfortable and relaxed in the lounge reading with a drink. I pre-paid for breakfast and the menu was really nice. I decided to have porridge as my 'cooked' option and helped myself to a slice of toast and glass of orange juice from the buffet table. The hotel offers great value for money, and I would definitely recommend the hotel to others and I would definitely return again as a 'solo' traveller.

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

It is small enough where staff make you feel welcome. Lots of character. Some great walks nearby although a bit of a walk to centre of village.

Nice and comfy. Clean bathroom with good shower pressure. Nice location with a beautiful view to country side. Once downside is the room size, wish there was enough space for the languages.

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.
