The Mortal Man Inn - A historic 17th-century pub with mountain views, traditional ales, and a terraced beer garden
Set in the Troutbeck valley since 1689, The Mortal Man Inn features 12 country-style rooms with tea/coffee facilities, flat-screen TVs, and views of the valley or Lake Windermere. The four-poster room offers double-aspect valley views. Guests can dine on pub classics like gammon steak or homemade burgers in the bar, which includes three sections with log fires, or sample local ales and whiskies. The star feature is the large grass-terraced beer garden with panoramic views toward Windermere. Wansfell Pike, a beginner-friendly Wainwright walk, is next door, while High Street and Helvellyn trails are accessible nearby. The Mortal Man Inn also provides free Wi-Fi and luggage storage.
Pros
The historic 17th-century building includes log fires and a rustic ambiance.
The terraced beer garden offers expansive views of Windermere and the valley.
Proximity to Wansfell Pike and other Lakeland walks makes it ideal for hikers.
Traditional pub fare and locally brewed ales are served onsite.
Cons
No on-site spa or fitness facilities.
Limited public transport options; a car is recommended for exploring the area.
“The property's setting is undeniably beautiful, especially from the beer garden, where the views complement excellent ales and food. Staff go above and beyond, showing genuine warmth and care. It's also a great base for walking, with the added perk of being remarkably dog-friendly.”
