The Mortal Man

The Mortal Man is a 17th century inn renowned for its spectacular views of the Troutbeck Valley. It enjoys a great reputation for good food and beer, but also offers accommodation.

12 bedrooms are available, each with an en-suite bathroom, TV, radio, telephone, trouser press, and hospitality tray. One boasts a 4-poster bed.

The unusual name derives from the verse on the inn’s sign ‘O mortal man that lives by bread what is it makes they nose so red? Thou silly fool, that look'st so pale,'Tis drinking Sally Birketts ale’.

Clean and comfortable. Lots of character. Food good. Staff friendly and helpful. Superb location. Enjoyed my stay immensely.

Thought the room was shabby, old fashioned and not overly clean. The bathroom was outdated and desperately in need of renovation. Room bears no relation to the picture on the website. Though the evening meal was good it was expensive and the breakfast was poor with no real vegetarian option. I think this is a hotel trying to be something that it is not.

I thought some of the earlier reviews might have been a bit too complimentary, but now I have to admit that they were spot on. I suppose they could do a bit of work on the rooms, but what do you expect from a 17th Century Inn. Totally recommended.

I love walking, beautiful scenery, good food and excellent beer. All the above were provided in abundance here and I was sad to leave after three days. Definitely high on my list for return visits.

Jonathan

Great views from either the rooms or the excellent beer garden with its fine choice of ales. Room could have done with a bit of attention, but we had everything we wanted and it was warm, comfortable and clean. Friendly and welcoming staff who provided excellent service.

There are breathtaking views of the Troutbeck valley from this 17th Century Inn. You can curl up in front of the log fire with your favourite pint of real ale. The breakfast was just the job for a day on the fells and the staff were all lovely.
