We stayed for one night in Mid-May and wished we'd booked for longer. The hotel is small and friendly and has a really nice feel about it - it also has alot of history having been an inn for centuries. We arrived pretty wet as we'd been on the hills in hail - the hotel has excellant drying facilites if... More

We called in for a lunch stop on our walk from Ambleside over Wansfell to Troutback. It's been a while since we've been in this pub as the last few times it's been so busy we've had to go to the Queens Head down the road instead, however, this time we got there just after 12 and managed to get...

We stayed here a few months ago, it's a dog friendly place which is great for us! We had a meal in the cosy, open fire bar area which was lovely, and the breakfast was good. It's in a great location for getting to Windermere, and really relaxing. I think for the price the rooms (bathroom especially) could do with... More

We stayed at The Mortal Man on Friday 26th April 2013. We were very impressed with the location & the room was nice with lovely views. We headed to the bar, loved the open fires. Ordered 2 gin & tonics & a pint of Loweswater Gold. The beer was very cloudy & obviously off & the tonics were both flat.... More

Our bar staff pointed out to you that your Loweswater Gold was slightly opaque, this was rectified for you automatically. We then had thought your subsequent complaint -about 3 of your 5 Gin & Tonics- had been dealt with by our bar manager who spoke to you at the time. We are sorry to read that it wasn’t handled in...

We have just returned from our first stay at the Mortal Man Hotel and it certainly did not disappoint. This clean, well mainted hotel is in a beautiful location, has a nice, cosy bar and serves excellent food, it is also dog friendly which was our main reason for booking. It is not a 5 star luxurious hotel but this... More

We wanted a good base from which to go walking and a comfortable room to return to in the evenings and this was what we got. The pub has a great setting and our room had lovely views of the valley. It was clean and had all that we wanted. (TV reception was poor but we didn't mind this and... More

A couple of weeks ago there were mixed views on this place but recently everyone is raving about it. Likewise, I really liked it too. I stayed for a few days before Easter weekend and actually stayed for another night. Room 6 was lovely. Great views and a nice bed. After a walk (even a short one) the bar is... More
