Troutbeck Inn

Troutbeck Inn - A dog-friendly country inn with panoramic mountain views, traditional cottages, and easy access to Lake District walks

Originally a railway hotel, Troutbeck Inn provides seven en-suite bedrooms in traditional country style, including single, twin, double, and deluxe double options with fell views. Three converted stable cottages offer self-catering accommodations with beamed ceilings and mountain vistas, accommodating 2-4 guests. Guests can dine in the bar and restaurant, where locally sourced ingredients are used, and a full English or continental breakfast is served daily in the dog-friendly bar area. The inn serves as a base for accessing Lake District walks like Blencathra and Helvellyn, with Rookin House Activity Centre offering outdoor pursuits 1.6 km away. Located 14.5 km from Keswick and Penrith, Troutbeck Inn is visible from the A66, with a bus stop 200 yards away. Larger double bedrooms feature countryside views, while Room 4 includes a king-size bed and bay window overlooking Great Mell Fell.
