"Having only made a last minute decision to eat out, we phoned on Grill Night and a very pleasant gentleman booked us a table.All I can say is that the evening was perfect! The pub itself is very aesthetically pleasing, the food was lovely (particularly desert which we weren't going to have until we saw how good it looked at another table! , the staff were smiley and attentive, but also the pub seems to have got the perfect balance of being covid secure whilst retaining an atmosphere.Highly recommended...We'll definitely be back again soon!"

Spent a very enjoyable week in Jasmine Cottage next door lovely cottage, tastefully decorated and very comfortable. My Partner and I enjoyed five evening meals from the Travellers Rest. Generous portions, well cooked, friendly staff and really good value. Thoroughly recommended.

Ate here as quite local to us. Covid measures were excellent and felt safe. Staff were great. No Track and Trace code though.Ordered 2 steak pies and home cooked chips. The pie came as a slice, chips looked like they were out of a bag, ready gravy. Presented well but very average food. Don’t think we will return, better food elsewhere.

We've just enjoyed a family lunch time visit. Its the first time we've eaten out since March due to Covid. We felt safe and the staff were very mindful of all the rules regulations as well as being friendly and helpful. The food was amazing. Delicious fresh produce of an excellent quality. We would highly recommended the Travelers Rest. Thank you and well be back again very soon.

We arrived at Travellers Rest with a warm greeting from staff. We sat on the front with a fantastic view of the city and the staff were more than helpful. The food was impeccable, staff checked on us to see if the food was OK, it was delicious. The desserts were catered to perfection especially the chocolate brownie. We felt so relaxed and at home we didn't want to leave. 5* rating all round.

We have just returned from our second stay with family at Steve's fabulous cottages. Weather was truly awful for May but the friendly welcome from Steve, his team and the locals was as usual second to none. Lots of nearby venues closed for outside dining but unlike the weather The food and hospitality at The Travellers Rest did not let us down. The cottages are so clean, modern and cosy with excellent covid safety measures in place. Thank you all so much, we will be back again...soon !

"Our room faced the front of the hotel, and while the village was quiet with only two pubs and a small corner store, it seemed to be a shortcut for heavy vehicles speeding downhill at night, with headlights constantly illuminating our room. We also found out that the hotel closes in the evening if it's not busy, and the front door may be locked as early as 10 PM, requiring a code for re-entry. The internet service was poor; even standing just outside the front door, I had no reception and couldn't call the emergency numbers posted there. It appears that the quality of the rooms varies significantly, with some having been upgraded while others are less desirable, including our own. When we questioned our bill because we didn't think the room was worth £140, we were told that since we had booked through Charming Escapes, we should take it up with them, as the hotel receives only a fraction of what we paid. This made us feel like second-class guests, especially since it seemed we were stuck in a low-quality room. The standard rate for a double room is £90, and if I were to rate our experience like on the TV show "Four in a Bed," I would say £50 a night would have been generous. Previous reviews also mentioned an issue with the door handle and the ability to lock the room, which had not been fixed. If you’re just looking for a place to dry off your hiking boots, this hotel might suffice, but I wouldn't recommend staying here again. It has a lot of potential, and thankfully, we had a wonderful evening at The Devonshire Arms just across the street—it felt like a whole different experience. It seems the staff at Charles Cotton have simply given up."
