Traveller's Rest in South Lakeland

We were staying in Grasmere and headed here on our first night. It was very expensive, the starters were tiny for the money and our mains were tasteless. To top it off they charged us 95p for a tiny slice of sourdough! Making the small starter £9! The pub did feel cosy but definitely wouldn’t recommend for food.

I’m leaving this review after a fantastic week in the lakes …. This was my only gripe of the week after everywhere we visited was very hospitable…. Called into this pub after hiking for a pint with my wife only to be spat at by the dark haired bar lady with a “No” we hadn’t even asked a question for dinner !!!! Completely embarrassing me in front of other customers. She was so rude that we walked out in a bit of shock yes I understand that it was busy half term Sunday but to be greeted in the first instance like that is very poor customer service. Suffice to say we will not be returning. Shame because the atmosphere seemed really nice.

Lovely stay! The bar area and restaurant are very nice and the service during our two night stay was great. We had a lovely meal. However, our room was uncomfortably warm and the bed not so comfortable.

Having just enjoyed a journey along the West Side of Thirlmere, we were in need of refreshment and recalled passing the Traveller's Rest man times on the A591 just West of Grasmere. We stopped for a drink and possible snack, but in entry were warmly greeted and invited to stop for Sunday lunch. Seemed a great idea and we agreed. They had a remarkable dining room and super food including a proper excellent Yorkshire Pudding. Excellent service, would stop again if passing and can recommend it to all passing hungry or thirsty travellers.

Fabulous little Inn with great ambience, superb food and excellent service from friendly staff. This is our third visit and no doubt we’ll be back again. I’d highly recommend the duck main course . Very reasonably priced too.

We have had 2 delicious meals. I had the duck which was perfectly cooked with a delicious sauce. My husband had the roast beef which he said was excellent. These meals lived up to our previous visit a few days before. The staff are so friendly and helpful. The atmosphere of the pub is lovely.

Excellent food in a lovely setting with great service. Much more than pub grub. Highly recommend for dinner. Kids menu available.

Stopped for refreshments , which consisted of a tea for one ,medium coffee for one and half a small glass of milk. Total cost was £9.95 what a rip off ! The coffee was also cold , I'll avoid this place in future .

Visited for a friends 50th birthday. Food and service was great. Good choice on the menu, friendly staff. A really enjoyable evening out.

The food here was amazing. We expected good pub food but found fine dining. Every mouthful was mouth watering. (The only problem was we ate too much!! ) We went for a special celebration meal and it certainly was special. The staff were very friendly and attentive making sure everything was perfect for us The whole experience was perfect Will definitely be back and definitely recommend.

Ottimo luogo. Bella atmosfera che mi ricorda i rifugi delle Dolomiti. Camere comode, ottima cena e abbondante colazione. Allan e il resto della squadra gentilissimo per risolvere problemi, piccoli e.... grandi!

Die Bedienung war sehr freundlich, ich hatte quasi freie Platzwahl, da es nicht allzu voll war. Entscheidung für die Ente mit Rote Bete-Püree und Rosmarin Kartoffeln. Für den stolzen Preis kamen dann drei Mini-Rote Bete, eine einzige Kartoffel in 3 drei Hälften frittiert und ohne Rosmarin, und ein winziges Stück Ente, mit nicht allzu krosser Haut. Dazu noch drei sehr kleine Stücke Brokkoli. Ich bin davon nicht satt geworden, habe der Bedienung mein Anliegen vorgetragen, und die Antwort bekommen, ich könnte noch Rosmarin nachkommen. Das habe ich natürlich abgelehnt. Nach den fulminanten Bewertungen, leider eine Enttäuschung. Der Pub ist gemütlich, liegt außerhalb von Ort und liegt an einer Landstraße.

Have holidayed in grasmere for the last 5 years but had never visited travellers rest. Had dinner here. Food delicious. Visited again for Sunday lunch which was the best meal of our holiday. Will definitely visit whenever in lake district.

Really good food, not too many options on the menu as all area home-cooked. The lamb hot-pot was fantastic, as was the fish and chips - as close to what I make at home as I've ever had. The venison burger, which wasn't quite as good as it could be (salty), is being replaced with their own beefburger soon so will be well worth ordering. Nice service, dog friendly, open reasonably late. Well worth travelling a little further to, we travelled about 10 miles to go here as far better than anywhere where we were staying, but only slightly more expensive - F&C was £18 I think, but bear in mind the Lake District isn't cheap generally.

Lovely staff, fabulous food, very dog friendly. Lovely surroundings for dinning. Both staff and locals very friendly. Magor (dog) would give 5 out of 5 woofs

We decided to book a dog friendly room in this beautiful place, the room was lovely, the view was great looking onto sheep/lambs along with mountains! We had sunday roast and we wouldnt fault it one bit! Very homely pub inn and lovely staff! The bed was very comfy! We both slept very well 10/10!

We did make a booking for lunch and it was good we did. Even though they are a little out of the village - people make the effort to come here with good reason. It is a charming authentic pub with very good food and friendly staff.

Worth going the pretty way between South Lakes & Scotland for the views and the grub. Avoiding peak times enables avoiding the M6 and enjoying the spectacular scenery around this unspoilt traditional pub. The food is excellent. For travellers brought up around British centres of curry excellence, the dhal platter had the perfect mix of elements & flavours. The fish & chips were for the connoisseur. Portions are proper Northern generous too.

Epic Sunday lunch! Great amount of varied vegetable accompaniments and Yorkshire puds the size of the plate. Beef cooked to absolute perfection. 7 of us ate and all absolutely loved our food. Service was friendly and efficient and would definitely recommend.

We chose the steak and kidney pudding and mash and green beans it was absolutely amazing. The food was piping hot decent portions after a day of walking. Followed by a sticky toffee pudding which was lush. Highly recommend and we will defo be back on our next trip to the lakes

The staff members were really friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious and the service excellent. The ales on tap were fabulous!

I have reviewed this pub before. Since that time a few minor changes have been applied. The overall experience is still very good. The menu has slid more to the Gastro than the pub aspect. Nonetheless well worth a visit if you want a good pint or a cider. We had the lamb hotpot and the Brisket filled steak and kidney pudding. The lamb hotpot (Just under £22) was rich, delicious and filling. The slow-cooked Brisket Beef and kidney pudding (Just under £18) was made with a fairly thick but not heavy suet case. Some may prefer a thinner casing but this worked well with the melting pieces of beef and chunks of kidney. I loved it. The chips were home made, chunky and fitted in with the puddig well alone or mopping up gravy! A couple of excellent pints of Wainwright washed it all down. Staff were charming and helpful from the phone booking till the reasonably priced bill. The venue itself is difficult to miss on Dunmail Raise LA229RR just on the hill outside Grasmere towards Keswick on the main road. Parking and outside tables. I shall return

My husband and I came to The travellers Rest with our 3 year old son on Saturday for Lunch, we have been in the past and enjoyed it. We are regulars to the area and had been meaning to pop back in for a while. The building is beautiful and the food was very tasty. The staff, both the man and woman serving us were lovely, and also engaged with my son which was really nice. We will definitely be back.

We went for dinner and the fish and chips was superb. We have eaten here many times over the years and we are never disappointed.

The staff are really friendly and helpful especially a young lady called kerris. I think that’s her name, she helped me with my bags to my room. I had my two year old toddler and she couldn’t of been more helpful if she tried. I did enjoy the stay but found the bed uncomfortable and didn’t sleep great. Food was nice and great value.

Really lovely stay on a Sunday night after hiking Helm Crag. Excellent location at Grasmere. Sunday lunch was still being served so we thoroughly enjoyed that. Breakfast the following morning was equally enjoyable. The room was very comfortable and a restful nights sleep was had. We would definitely stay again.

Came across this pub on our way into Windermere. We were seated straight away and service was quick. The food was amazing! we both ordered fish and chips and we were so glad we did. The food was fresh, homemade and hot. It’s a lovely little gem, we will be back if we ever find ourselves visiting the lake district again.

Booked a table for Sunday lunch. Wonderful meal and friendly staff. called in a couple of days later for an evening meal. The server remembered it had bee my wifes birthday on Sunday and brought a her desert with a candle in. Looking forward to eating there again

Friendly and accommodating, especially as we dropped in without a reservation and with two dogs. Lovely atmosphere with real fires and a great Sunday roast - the veg in particular was well above the average and not a bad price. Will definitely return the next time we are in the lakes.

Been visiting here for many many years Never fails. Friendly staff in a traditional surround. Great Sunday dinner. Best first miles around.

What a fantastic trip away. Gorgeous place to stay. Can't fault it. We stayed in a beautiful room with our dogs. Views were stunning of the fells. Food was delicious. Breakfast was great and we dined there 2 nights as we were so impressed. Brilliant location for exploring the Lakes. Service was wonderful. Brendan was very helpful. We will definitely be staying again!!

We had an evening meal here after a big days walk in the fells, and it was excellent! Good choice of ales, lovely menu and really tasty food. Welcoming staff and friendly ambience. Would recommend!

Pop in for dinner as the hotel we where at couldn’t cater for Gluten Free. We both had lamb Henry was beautiful and rise puddings to follow had a few drinks Staff work perfect looked after us That’s what you want when you go to the lakes. Will return next time we will stay at the travellers rest.

We had a massive steak and kidney pudding . Was very good , I couldn't finish mine but husband did . Proper food , lovely staff . A relaxed and friendly atmosphere , cosy . Good to have home cooked food .

Both service and food were excellent. Well above what would expect from a pub. The steak and kidney pudding was truly to die for, a real suet pudding stuffed with plenty of meat, sitting on a bed of mash, accompanied with peas and a delicious rich dark gravy! You won’t have room for a dessert if you choose this main course! Excellent value for money as well. Brilliant.

Superb food, plentiful and flavoursome! We both had the Steak & Kidney Pudding, which was huge and simply superb!! Rice Pudding to follow, again lovely, served with a jug of cream. Staff were friendly and efficient Very reasonable price

Lovely meal, booked at short notice and they were very accommodating, great service and very nice food.

I visited for the first time recently. It is in a very picturesque location and a good old-fashioned inn. It is expensive however and I thought the menu was quite limited. The rice pudding with damson jam was amazing! I had steak and chips, and...

Lovely traditional pub but with restaurant quality food. A little bit out of Grasmere but worth making the trip for a relaxed eating experience. The staff are all very attentive without imposing too much. All the food had been thought through very carefully. So good...

My sister and I stayed 2 nights at The Traveller's Rest with my little dog and loved it. The staff were so welcoming and friendly. Wonderfully dog friendly. A joy to stay in such a happy place. Thank you especially to Gareth and Chris.

14 family members gathered for lunch. Food was pre-booked. Everything was tasty,large portions and good service. Only let down pool table from years ago no longer there! A really enjoyable meal.

Had the pleasure of dining here on a recent trip to The Lakes and enjoyed it so much, we booked to eat the following evening. Excellent service from both the young gentleman behind the bar (apologies for not remembering his name) and Fernando, our waiter who was friendly, approachable and attentive. The food was a cut above traditional pub fayre. Good size portions and very tasty (the steak and kidney pudding was delicious!). Will definitely be back soon and hopefully book accommodation too!

Fish and chips very overcooked, mainly batter rather then fish, chips more crunch than taste. Overpriced for quality served. Will not visit again.

We booked this place for 2 nights as was convenient for a local bike ride . Warm welcome , lovely room , great shower . Left extra coffee , tea , toiletries on the door handle the next day . Food was beautiful, staff very polite . Very clean . I would recommend, and we will be staying again .

Had high hopes for this place... But we were ignored for 10 min when we arrived. Food OK a bit bland. Weird Spanish guiter music playing... Very odd. Unless your desperate... Go somewhere else.

We had a lovely meal here on Thursday night. The food was great, the barman and waiter were friendly, and the pub is beautiful. The waiter was happy show us around the other parts of the pub and restaurant once we'd finished eating. Come here for good, well-priced beers and classic pub food in a historic traveller's inn.

We stayed for 3 nights, the staff couldn’t be more friendly and helpful, the breakfast was lovely. We had dinner on one night, which was also very nice and they were able to cater for my dietary requirements without any prior notice.

Had a wonderful 2 night stay here. Room was comfortable and well appointed. Food was delicious, had the fish and chips and the rump of lamb special, and the waiter serving us was fantastic (also Jennings beer was lovely). Breakfast was also very good with a large selection to choose from. All in all a great trip to the Lakes and would highly recommend this inn

Booked Sunday lunch, lovely staff and got our drinks straight away, got sat down to sticky tables, but not to bothered about that, waited 45 minutes for our food which i didnt mind but then it arrived, omg i have never complained about food ever but i have never seen or tasted anything so bad, gave our dog the red tough beef, could not cut into the 3 rock hard roast potatoes, the tiny amount of peas and carrots and 1 tiny parsnip tasted funny, had one bite of the only thing left, the yorkshire pudding and it tasted of gone off fat, my husband ate few mouthfuls of it because he was starving and they did knock some money off the bill when we complained.

We checked their website, it’s meds updating. They are serving food in the evening. Brilliant. Good cooked to order food. Fish and chips was huge. The burger was good. The service was pleasant and they were very hospitable.

I use to eat here monthly when visiting family My last meal was shocking and I will not be returning I’m not sure who running the kitchen now but needs some training you can tell it’s not to the standards it use to be I’ve asked the staff and they said the head chef had walked out over how he was treated in the buisness It’s such a shame as he was holding this place up So wouldn’t recommend this place anymore

Called in on spec for a meal after 8.00pm. The establishment did appear to be all that busy on arrival.Covid structures were very good and we did feel comfortable.Beautiful building and environment.Ordered two meals and drinks, the drinks arrived approx 10 minutes later. Another 10 minutes and the cutlery etc arrived. At this point we were thinking the meal would be presented momentarily, nope! Having asked on two occasions, where the food was, we were given complementary drinks, in all we waited an hour for the food and were about to leave when it finally arrived.Whilst this was quite frustrating, the food was absolutely delicious, hats off to the chef, Fortunately this made good the unexplained delay in its arrival.Having said that, not sure I would return for fear of another long long wait for the food..,

Visited the Travelers Rest as we always do when in Grasmere and unfortunately a lot has changed and not for the better. As you will see from previous reviews, we have always enjoyed eating here but this was like a different restaurant in feel, look and overall experience. Not sure if this is due to them being bought by a chain as I noticed new branding on the bottom of the menu which had also changed beyond recognition. Suffice to say, food OK, tables sticky and service apologetic but terrible. We only ordered main courses which took nearly an hour to arrive. We had to ask three times where our drinks were which eventually arrived 25 minutes after we ordered then. We had actually booked for two meals but on the basis of the Saturday experience cancelled our Weds booking. A real shame as the Travelers Rest used to be one of the culinary highlights of our trips to Grasmere.

My daughter and I booked two nights in July 2021 for a tour of the lakes, never been before. We were greeted by Gareth a fabulous manager, very friendly and professional, he gave us lots of information and was courteous and attentive at all times. Our room was lovely, great view and nice and clean. However it was boiling hot all night! We had dinner in the restaurant and again Gareth was fabulous however the older gentleman serving didn’t crack a smile once and I felt like I was bothering him when I asked for a drink! We were the only ones eating in the restaurant that evening, the food was excellent but the tables were sticky and the menus could also do with a wipe! I went for the moules which were hot and tasty. Then I went for the pork belly as a special with black pudding bon bons (a bit deep fried) but very good. I felt that the only time the older gent smiled was when I was paying the bill (almost as if he was waiting for his tip) he didn’t get a tip instead Gareth got the tip! Our twin room was lovely, a bit cramped but that’s ok it was clean and comfy but just so boiling and no fans around. Breakfast was again superb. Poor Sam was on his own tending to us all and did a very good job looking after us, he apologised there was a slight delay and that really didn’t bother us at all. He again was informative about local sights and things to do which we took on board. Many thanks! Overall a lovely stay but I must say the second evening we cancelled dinner and opted for a different pub for our meal which had a lot more atmosphere and more diners. I wouldn’t say it was great value for money. We paid £288 Quite pricey for two nights with brekkie which was a fair bit more than our next hotel stay which was cooler, cleaner and included breakfast.

I saw a bad review a week ago and felt the need to give another perspective because we had such an enjoyable visit last Tuesday we booked again for Saturday. There was only one chef on the first time and as a result our meal took a long time to arrive but hey - the staff were great keeping us informed, offered us extras to compensate and when the fish and chips finally arrived they were incredibly good!! None of the timing problems on the second visit but friendly good- humoured service, good food and generous portion sizes. To be honest although we stay around here a lot we hadn’t been for a few years but we’ll be going more regularly in future!

First night of our 'staycation' in The Lakes. Tried the Travellers Rest, despite some reservations from reading reviews, it was our nearest pub so thought we would give it a try! Can't be that bad, can it? WRONG!The signs were there early on - tried to sign in on the Covid log - No Pen! Tried to sanitise our hands - Empty! We had made a reservation so gave our name only to be told, 'someone has given your table away'! 'Just sit there', (points towards a table in bar). This was 7pm - by 7:30 we still didn't have a drink or food. Eventually, we got drinks - order was wrong. Eventually we got food, which was ok although not very warm. Asked for bill, got the wrong bill. Exit stage left asap never to darken its doors again. We were not the only one's to suffer I witnessed nearby tables waiting a long time for drinks/food and being brought wrong orders etc.As a footnote: The hospitality industry has whined on throughout the pandemic about how they are struggling with only being allowed to have up to 40% capacity - on tonight's performance this place couldn't handle 100% capacity. They should be ashamed to call themselves a 'hospitality' venue.A quick word on our server who (bless him) was working so hard and constantly apologising to everyone. We felt sorry for him, it looked like he was covering the bar, the restaurant and outside too all by himelf.

We have stayed at the Travelers Rest on a number of occasions The welcome from the staff is genuine.The rooms are always clean and comfortable The menu offers a good variety of dishes which are very delicious.Great breakfast Relaxing atmosphere.Look forward to our next visit.

We spent a very pleasant evening at the Travellers Rest eating one of our first ‘indoor’ meals. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful, professional and friendly. The food, hubby had the steak and kidney pudding, I had the chicken wrapped in Parma ham was both delicious and very well presented. The sticky toffee pudding, is to die for. We had a lovely evening and would highly recommend it.

After stopping by for a coffee after a walk, we pulled into the car park and parked up. There was a sign saying to wait until served however nobody arrived to serve us so we sat down in an available table. A staff member then walked past without a greeting or a look of acknowledgement. The staff member then came round and rudely asked us to move our car. This was absolutely no problem however the staff member then talked loudly and rudely about me next to my partner as I went to move the car. The staff member then continued to be unbelievably rude and obnoxious throughout. Our drinks order of a coffee and coke was taken but took an absolute age to arrive as the staff member was more interested in telling the outside area his life story. I would not attend again and I would not recommend.

Had a lovely meal, Steak was amazing. Staff very professional and courteous. Highly recommended this place for food. A+

The Inn was easy to find we had booked 2 dog rooms, we arrived early and was met by a staff member who told us to wait as he had to go to one of the holiday let’s down the the road. He came back after 15mins as we were early we ordered dinner which was good. We were told one room was ready and the other was having some painting done and would be ready for 3pm as we had arrived early. We returned at 3pm checked in given the keys, on entering our room well we were gob smacked the bed had been left pulled away from the wall dust everywhere from the rubbing down so we set about cleaning up as not to cause a fuss. The room was small room 9 especially as we had 2 dogs. The rest of the place and our other room 7 was great everything you could want, the staff were excellent (Gareth/Vicky) especially. The food was first class could not fault it we ate there every day it was that good even Christmas dinner although a bit rushed between courses. The Inn was full all over Christmas mainly with dog lovers which was nice. Apart from a little hiccup at the start it was brill.

Nice and quiet Friday night. Amazing food. Great tables. Service a little slow at the end. Good price.

Fui aquí para el almuerzo del domingo hoy. Llamamos por teléfono unos 30 minutos antes para ver si podían acomodarnos. No fue un problema que nos contrataron de inmediato. Todos comimos rosbif con todos los adornos. Algunas de las verduras se sirven en tazones separados. Cena realmente sabrosa. Personal amable y servicial.

Booked a table for two here, on arrival was shown to a table but had to wait 15mins for staff to come to take our drinks order and then the food, waited a further 10 mins for drinks to arrive followed by a further 5mins before the first course. ( as there were only two staff front of house we may have caught them at a bad time 8-00pm )Food was generally good , and the draught bitter was extremely drinkable.Very safe and Covid19 secure.Visit spoiled by the poor service but happy to give "the Travellers" another go when next we visit

EL BUENOMuy buena comida a precios razonables.NECESITA MEJORARLas mesas y sillas que nos asignaron eran muy incómodas. Sillas grandes con respaldo alto y una mesa muy alta, pero luego normal. Así que sus piernas quedan aplastadas entre la silla y las mesas en un espacio reducido.Hacía mucho frío si estaba cerca de la salida.Parecía un poco desorganizado, lleva la comida equivocada a las mesas equivocadas repetidamente.

¡Debo admitir que fue una sorpresa muy agradable! Aparte del entorno encantador, el ambiente de una antigua posada (pato al entrar) y la agradable bienvenida del atento personal, ¡la comida era absolutamente maravillosa! Siempre me siento animado cuando una copa de NZ Savignon Blanc llega bien fría y mi esposo disfrutó de su pinta de Cumberland amarga de barril. Nuestros entrantes de mozzarella, aguacate y tomate, con una pequeña cucharada de pesto, estaban deliciosos y bien presentados. Mi esposo luego comió el "Chicken Supreme", pechuga de pollo envuelta en tocino y rellena con tomates secados al sol, espinacas y queso feta. Yo tenía los filetes de lubina, con patatas nuevas trituradas. Ambos venían con una deliciosa selección de verduras perfectamente cocidas y nuestros platos estaban casi limpios. La jarra de agua con hielo, limón, lima y rodajas de pomelo fue un toque agradable que solo ayuda con la delicadeza general del servicio. Traveller's Rest sin duda regresará a la lista y también analizaremos sus opciones de alojamiento. Gracias TR, tuvimos una velada encantadora, incluso en estos tiempos de covid.

Good pub food in a Covid safe environment. Plastic screens to segregate patrons and one way system. Sticky toffee pudding was excellent

Ate here during the pandemic. Everything was well organised and felt safe. Its dog friendly. Food was good (scampi and chips) and its a good alternative if you are visiting Grasmere as its away from the village.

Fácil de encontrar en la carretera principal a Keswick, a las afueras de Grasmere. Buen pub de estilo antiguo con un personal amable que sirve comida de pub espléndida. Como es habitual, lo mejor es llamar y reservar con antelación. Selección de cervezas bien conservadas y sidra Kingstone Press en el bar. Lista de vinos justa, bien pensada. Los entrantes incluyen una sopa del día, excelentes hígados de pollo y un vegetariano de tomate mozzarella y aguacate.Los platos principales consisten en un plato del día de rabadilla de cordero frita que llegó perfectamente cocida al rosado y caramelizada externamente para que quede crujiente y deliciosa. (Wordsworth Hotel, tome nota.) Magnífico.La hamburguesa casera, cubierta de queso cheddar y baco crujiente era deliciosa y se servía con ensalada, condimento y trozos de patatas fritas dobles.Eglefino rebozado con cerveza y una opción vegetal con berenjena, tomate y parmesano vegetal.PostresTabla de quesos, caramelo salado y olla de amaretto o pudín de caramelo pegajoso. Todo encantador.Este es el mejor lugar para comer y beber en Grasmere en la actualidad.Reserve, disfrute y camine a casa si es necesario. La cerveza merece la pena. Creo que las habitaciones también son buenas.Gracias a todo el equipo.

Nos alojamos aquí en agosto por algunas noches en una de las habitaciones que admiten mascotas. En primer lugar, la habitación era muy pequeña y tenía suficiente espacio para deslizar la caja entre la cama y el armario como ningún otro lugar para ella. Así que tuve que cruzar la cama. El baño es aún más pequeño y la otra mitad que mide casi 6 pies no podía pararse en la ducha debido al techo inclinado. También tuvimos que alimentar al perro en el baño, ya que literalmente no había espacio. La habitación también era muy cálida y tenía una pequeña ventana de guillotina que estaba abierta cuando llegamos y permaneció abierta durante toda nuestra estancia. También está en la parte de atrás de la cocina, por lo que podría ser ruidoso. Cuando nos registramos, nos preguntaron qué queríamos para el desayuno a la mañana siguiente y eso parecía ser todo para la estancia, independientemente de si le apetecía un cambio o no.El servicio de desayuno era extremadamente lento con normalmente un miembro del personal para 8 o 9 habitaciones. La primera mañana se sentó en una mesa y podía sentir un goteo al mirar hacia arriba y el agua goteando del techo. Era un problema obvio en curso, ya que podía ver dónde se habían hecho anteriormente intentos para solucionarlo. Así que tuve que sentarme al lado de mi esposo, no es algo malo, podría agregar. En promedio, tomó 40 minutos incluso para hacer un brindis, por lo que una buena hora o media para el servicio de desayuno. El hombre que servía pasó la mayor parte de su tiempo disculpándose con la gente, lo que seguramente no es bueno para los negocios y caminando hacia adelante y hacia atrás. Te trajeron tostadas y luego te preguntaron si querías mermelada o mermelada para que él regresara y luego apareciera diez minutos con lo mismo con las salsas una vez que se sirvió el desayuno. No había una urgencia real sobre él y daba la impresión de que realmente no le importaba. Sé que estaba solo, así que debería tener más personal. ¿No ahorraría tiempo y esfuerzo tenerlos ya sobre la mesa?La comida de la noche era buena, aunque el menú nunca cambiaba. Hubiera sido bueno ver un par de ofertas especiales. Aprecio que estuvo ocupado, pero nuevamente los tiempos de espera pueden ser largos.Al otro lado de la calle hay un sendero ideal para llevar a su amigo de cuatro patas a dar un paseo rápido.Era nuestra primera vez en Lake's and the Travellers Rest y no puedo decir que me apresure a regresar pronto.

Estancia encantadora como siempre comida y servicio excelente. He sido un visitante habitual de los viajeros durante 20 años y continuará siéndolo. pero le falta esa cálida bienvenida y el rostro sonriente de mihaela, cuya ética de trabajo es insuperable. Me encantaría entrar por la puerta principal y ser recibido por esta maravillosa mujer trabajadora como lo he sido muchas veces en el pasado. entonces obtendría una merecida calificación de 5 estrellas debido a los altos estándares de esta especial para damas.

We had a fantastic time at Travellers Rest. It was our last night in Grasmere and it ended our holiday perfectly. All the food was delicious and the staff were very attentive. We would 100% go back again.

I visited with my wife and 2 primary aged children had a great meal and excellent service. Well COVID managed and staff were great with children's wit and humour. Thanks for a good evening!

We had called earlier in the week for a drink and found the staff to be very friendly along with a great selection of beers and gin (what more could you ask for!) so decided to book for an evening meal.The food and service at the Travellers Rest this evening was excellent, A good choice of perfectly cooked food and the staff, although being very busy kept us informed and were very professional. We certainly wouldn't hesitate to eat here again.
