    I did not like smell in the main room areas, rooms very dusty not very clean overall. Bedding tho was nice and clean. Facilities also good.

    Breakfast was amazing, restaurant grade. Delicious food, good portion. Unlimited coffee, cereals, juices etc. Dinner also just wow! I had calamari as a started and venison burger as main, my missus had soup and fish. All dishes amazing! Cocktails also served, ice cold.

    Traffic noise at night interrupted sleep. Little offered for diabetic consideration. (low fat spreads instead of butter)

    Good location and the staff were excellent in attentiveness and politeness. Great food. Good parking and close to Grasmere village.

    The room faced the road and it was quite loud with the cars driving by on the main road. But once I fell asleep it was fine and couldn’t hear it much.

    The room was nice, clean and a good size. Everyone who worked there was so lovely and friendly. Felt very welcome. The location was beautiful and convenient to catch the bus. The food at the restaurant was good too. Nice selection.

    Just one nitpick, it’s not an issue and did not affect our stay in the slightest but the shower head in Room 3 could do with replacing or repairing, the chrome part of the shower head just felt as if it could come off at any point, apart from this, everything was just perfect!

    I’m not often moved emotionally by a location, however the Travellers Rest really hit the spot for me! It was a long awaited catch up with my partner and we could not have found a better place, the staff are amazing, they genuinely make you feel so welcomed with a fantastic none judgemental attitude, we have found in the past being a male couple, some establishments act awkward or not very welcoming but not here, it was like coming home and being welcomed by family! The pub/restaurant is absolutely fantastic, could not fault the food, even though we arrived quite late on, they still accommodated us so we could have a good hearty meal! After our food, we where shown to the room (No3) what a beautiful, clean and comfortable room, I thought that we had been put in a much more expensive room but this is the standard that you can see they clearly strive for. Being out in the countryside, the hotel was amazingly quiet with just the occasional traffic noise, this did not bother us at all, we sleep with the window open so could not moan in the slightest, they have secondary glazing so I am confident that you would not hear the traffic noise! Breakfast was just superb, a great selection of cereals and drinks to get you started, the menu selection is also very good with plenty to choose from, we both had the full English breakfast, this set us both up for the day and a 6 hour walk! I would 110% come back here, especially knowing that they are dog friendly in certain rooms. If you do choose to stay here, I must suggest that you go outside when it’s dark and the bar has closed, the darkness and silence is almost spiritual, a genuinely perfect location! I hope to see the staff at The Traveller’s Rest very soon! Kindest Regards Joe & Ross

    Not having enough space to sit and have a drink in the pub everywhere was set or reserved for people to eat we ended up sitting in our room to have a drink so not impressed at all.

    The views were nice.
