About
Traveller’s Rest Grasmere invites visitors to experience the quintessential Lakeland inn atmosphere.

The expansive beer‑garden offers panoramic lake views, while the interior ambience—oak beams, inglenooks and open fires—creates a warm, rustic charm perfect for a relaxed dining or holiday escape. The inn’s cuisine pairs traditional Lakeland dishes with contemporary twists, highlighted in its lunch (12:00‑15:00) and dinner (17:00‑21:00) menus. Patrons can also indulge in the festive Christmas stays, featuring a planned lunch from noon to 2 pm and a deli board from 5 pm‑8 pm, priced ranging from £239 to £313 per person for a three‑night stay.
