Mortal Man Hotel

Stayed for a weekend in September and upon arrival was welcomed at reception desk with a goody bag for our dog, which was a nice touch. On route to our room on the landing was a book shelf you could help yourself to and also dog blankets and toys to take to your room if your wish. |We ate in the restaurant on the Friday night and was quite busy which was good to see. Food was really good and arrived in about 15 minutes. The homemade ‘proper pie’ minted lamb was a popular choice. Lots of local ales and guest ciders available from the friendly knowledgeable barman.|Continental breakfast was good with a designated table for your room and plenty of choice of cereals/ toast/crumpet/wafflles , to go with the meat and cheese selection.|On night 2. After a long day of walking we decided to eat in our room with a selection of picky bits we got on our visit to Windermere. The staff were happy to give us cutlery and plates and didn’t mind this at all. |Walking routes available from reception as well as other local gifts. |The room was made up nice and didn’t feel like it was a dog walkers hotel. Very clean and views towards Windermere from our room 8 were amazing.|We walked up and over Wansfell to Ambleside which took about an hour an half visiting stock ghyll waterfalls before landing in the pub.||Will 1000% return and recommend this place to anyone wanting either quiet getaway in the lakes. Or somewhere as base for your hiking with your dog.

Had a lovely stay at the mortal man! Very friendly and welcoming staff, gorgeous hotel in a lovely location at a reasonable price. Our room had a gorgeous view. The place has an old fashioned, family run feel to it with lovely cosy rooms and modern facilities. The pub and food were delicious and had an open fire! The many cute and friendly cats were also a bonus! Highly recommended, will definitely be back for a longer stay next time!

Have visited this pub several times over the years and always been good but based on several visits recently whilst staying in the village it’s doing very well since the takeover in 2023. The food we had was excellent with some interesting menu choices and backed up by a decent choice of draft beers too. The service was efficient but friendly and engaging at all times. Prices not cheap but then given the location and the nearby competition it compares well. Enjoying a drink in the garden with the sun shining and spectacular views takes some beating!

We ate and drank here on various occasions throughout the week as we stayed nearby. When our holiday ended we didn’t want to go home so we booked a last minute room cancellation at The Mortal Man.|Lucky for us the pub had a festival on and it sounded too good to miss! |All week and during our overnight stay we noticed the staff absolutely smash it every time with a welcoming smile, humour and kindness. |I have never seen a team pull together and work so hard before. They went above and beyond and when the bar was rammed they all seemed to keep a cool head. |Callum ⭐️ Patric (can’t remember the spelling sorry) Tana, Cara and Sam and others are a credit to the Mortal Man. |The food was fantastic and the room was so clean and comfortable. |We thought it was hillarious that the fire exit was through our bathroom 🤣 love all the quirks of this old inn. |The festival was awesome! Those guys worked non stop and still rocked up the next morning with a smile. |The music went on till very late but when we’d had enough of the crowds we watched and did some awful dancing at our window and embraced it! That’s why we stayed after all. We deffo had some fans 🤣🪩|🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕 I give it five pizzas!! 🤣

Loved our visit here. We arrived in the dark but what a view to wake up to the following morning! Nice clear day and could see for miles. Located in a real beauty spot in the heart of the lakes. Pefect place to relax and unwind or run, climb or cycle. Great location for visiting other areas of the lakes too!

Booked a table here for my birthday, what a great little find! Food was amazing, one of the best meals I have ever had (Chicken Supreme) really came together very well. Wife's steak was also amazing and too notch peppercorn sauce! The service is exceptional, very attentive staff make you feel very welcome! The view is also amazing overlooking the valley! We will definitely come back whenever we are in the lakes! Great job team, keep up the good work!

A fantastic place to have a drink and food. The pub is set amongst gorgeous scenery, that really makes you feel like you're in the middle of nowhere. The atmosphere inside is warm and cosy, which was needed during our visit as the weather outside was very wet! The staff were incredibly friendly, whilst the food was delicious. We visited twice, the first time having the venison pie which is highly recommended, and sausage and mash the second time which was also delicious. Very dog friendly, with at least half a dozen faithful friends inside when we visited - they also have a small group of gorgeous white and ginger cats roaming the area who are incredibly friendly. If you're looking for a great place to relax and get food, this is the place. My only advice, would be to make sure you have a torch or enough battery on your phone if you're walking there as the road in and out after sunset is pitch black with no road lighting.

We had an excellent meal here. Very welcoming pub, with 2 excellent men behind the bar, serving drinks and food. It was a busy night and they calmly went through the evening keeping everyone informed with a smile and a few jokes. Both children enjoyed their meals and the pie for adults was excellent. The barman talked me out of the more expensive steak to have the pie and I didn’t regret. Great place to visit for a meal.

What a lovely restaurant. Food was delicious. Great for kids. Beautiful scenary. We will definitely return here when we go back to the lake district.

Went here for lunch and the garden had a lovely view. I ordered the Ploughmans and beside the fact it was missing the advertised cheddar, it was very tasty. My husband said his fish and chips was very good. Finding it was our challenge as we did not realize how far down the country lane it would be after the last sign we saw. We stopped and asked and we had just not gone far enough, so when you see the last sign just keep on going and you will run in to it.

Though we only had a light lunch comprised of mostly starters and sides, everything we ordered was very well done. The service was warm and friendly, and we were very happy with our decision to visit the Mortal Man for lunch.

Ate in the restaurant a couple of times this week. Food is homemade and fairly good dog friendly and good service
