The Fisherbeck, Ambleside is an 18 bedroom property situated in the one of the most beautiful areas of the English Lake District and overlooking Loughrigg Fell and the Langdale Pikes in the distance. Private parking is available. A warm welcome awaits; individually designed bedrooms beckon; comfortable lounges for sipping local beers, glass of wine or barista coffee and a hearty breakfast are our aim. We are dedicated to sourcing as much local fare as we can with award winning Fell Bred sausages, eggs direct from the farm, bacon from a village just along the road and Lancashire black pudding. Smoked Haddock & smoked salmon come from the finest smoke houses local to us. We make our own granola, rum butter, breakfast muffins, scones, desserts and much more.

Was cobwebs and felt like I was showering in a cupboard, room was not good enough considering I paid extra for premium, it didn’t feel premium, bathroom was squeezed in and room felt like a standard room rather than one I would pay extra for. I definitely would not pay that price for that room again, could get a very nice hotel room for the same price for a night which would feel more luxery and like I’m away
Breakfast was really nice as were staff, very helpful

Breakfast was delicious. All staff were extremely attentive, nothing was any trouble. We were grateful for the late breakfast on Saturday after our run. Special on day 2, pancakes with syrup bacon and sausage were delicious and the spare pancake went down well on our 10 mile hike.
