The welcome was good, and all the staff were friendly and helpful. The room had everything in it we needed, but was rather tired, and the bathroom needed some minor repairs. The water was hot whenever we needed it. The food was excellent.

Wonderful overnight stay. Free parking adjacent to property. Nice building with relaxed vibe. Even the background music was different and interesting. Evening meal very tasty and well presented. Ambiance very nice. Bedroom good size, comfortable large bed, and quiet. Breakfast (we had pancakes, back bacon and maple syrup with berries) was superb. Would definitely stay again. Highly recommended. .

For the cost of the room, I was bitterly disappointed with the standard of the room. The photographs on the website do not remotely represent the actual room we got. The room stank of dogs, the en-suite bathroom was particularly dirty and run Down, mouldy ceiling sink cupboard doors damaged beyond repair by water damage. The toilet was unclean, the fan was useless and unsuitable for getting rid of the built up steam and giving adequate ventilation but in general, the whole room was generally run down.

Return to a little bit of heaven
The check in was simple, with clear instructions provided in the room. Access to good quality WiFi was again simple. I ate in the pub for breakfast and dinner, it was easy to put my dinner bill and associated drinks on my bill. All the staff were friendly and relaxed, despite being a busy bank holiday weekend, which is a credit to them. All the food was fantastic, served hot and without too much of a wait. The staff were on it and keen to give you a good stay. I would definitely stay again!

Charming pub in stunning location.
A fantastic location. The views from the rooms were stunning. Generally peaceful (slight road noise, but nothing to worry about at night!). Breakfast was wonderful. Very tasty and good menu. The pub itself is very charming. Open fires, great food! Perfect location for a stay. Bus stop not far from pub with links to Keswick and Ambleside/Windermere. Footpath directly opposite. I feel the room was becoming a little tired but generally good quality. Grouting missing from floor tiles in bathroom, extractor fan seemed to not work. Could do with better places for bedside plugs for phone charging. Comfy bed. Slept very well.

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.
