About Traveller’s Rest
Leave the noise of modern life behind and replace it with the gentle hum of moorland life at Traveller's Rest, perched just on the edge of Bodmin Moor. This peaceful spot offers proper countryside calm – think spacious pitches, friendly farm animals in adjacent fields, and sweeping views across the moor (stretching all the way to Dartmoor on clear days). Owner Andy, who grew up locally, and his welcoming team are always on hand with insider tips over a cuppa in the communal area.
Despite the rural seclusion, you're brilliantly positioned for exploring. The A30 sits just over a mile away, making both Cornwall coasts easily accessible, while Launceston is 15 minutes by car and the local pub a quarter-hour stroll. On-site facilities are thoughtfully done – hot showers, washing machine, communal fridge and freezer – though service can occasionally feel a touch inattentive during busier times. With grass pitches (electric and non-electric), dog-friendly policies year-round, and activities from climbing to watersports nearby, it's an ideal base for slowing down without missing out.

Went for Sunday Carvery, a warm welcome, plenty of places to sit. Food was brilliant, good thick slices of meat, very tasty, and as much veg as you can fit on the plate. Good value, great service, highly recommended. The apple and blackberry crumble was lovely too.

Just enjoyed a delicious pub meal here. The staff were all lovely and welcoming. My partner had steak and said it was nice to have a decent steak in a pub for a change! Portions sizes are really good. The burgers were big and filling. We were hoping for pudding but couldn't manage it in the end! Would definelty visit again!

We went last minute for lunch. They were very accomodating. They were more than happy to do our food order. The food was amazing and fresh. Our dog was offered a bowl of water, nothing was too much trouble. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Will definately be returning.
