Travellers Rest, Grasmereback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Very pleasant rural pub and restaurant. Real ales are the usual Jennings fayre, but very well kept. Sneck Lifter was excellent. Food is a little pricey but very good quality, would certainly visit again.

We have stayed at this place a few times and really love it. Yes, it's Jennings, but all beers I tried (in fact all of the range) were very good. Food is ok too. Rooms lovely with great views. The staff are probably the most polite people I've ever met and can't do enough for you. Worth staying here, walking into Grasmere (on the back roads) to Tweedies Bar, then coming back here to finish off.

This is a very good pub in a very attractive rural location which can be visited without having to pay for parking. As the previous reviewer says, the views from the windows are stunning.
It offers the usual selection of Jenning�s brews � the Cocker Hoop was pretty good, as was our food which took a while to be served but was obviously freshly cooked to order and good VFM.
The Traveller�s Rest will certainly be on our itinerary for our next visit to the Lakes � unlike many of the other pubs that we tried during our recent visit.

Nice country pub situated just north of Grasmere on the main road north to Keswick. The views from the windows are stunning. Nice welcoming interior with roaring open fire. As I remember, there were 3-4 Jennings ales from handpull. If stopping here, I recommend continuing into Grasmere itself to visit Tweedies Bar in the Dale Lodge Hotel for 7 real ales and a perry. I'll write a review as soon as I can get it added!

What could be a lovely old inn was spoilt for us during our brief visit by a chronic lack of staff. One harassed young lady seemed to be pulling pints, serving food and receiving hotel guests. Perhaps we just caught it on a bad day.

Quite a selection of Jennings Ales - All kept very well.
This place is more of a resturant and B & B, than a pub. The food is good, served efficiently, and, contrary to the comment by drtimthornton, reasonably priced. A result of the current economic climate, maybe?
As an inn, it is very comfortable. We will stay here again.

Situated just outside Grasmere on the A591 heading up to Dunmail Raise, the Travellers Rest is a really fine pub. It's a long narrow building with an entry in the middle opposite a small bar and with a fire. There's only space for 2 or 3 people to sit here who have to contend with people coming in but it's a great spot to grab. To the left is another room with a pool table and, beyond, a fire and where recently smoking was allowed. But, for my tastes, now it is banned throughout the pub this second room, when the fire is lit, is also a great place for a pint. Rooms to the right become progressively more dining orientated. The beer is a range from Jennings, generally well served. Food is good but too expensive and perhaps too ambitious (the gammon, for example, was good but not �11 good on my last visit; the fish better but very modest). Still it is one of my favourite pubs in the Lakes.
