we had a very pleasant stay. The staff were very helpful and attentive. we enjoyed our vegan breakfasts,and the options of fresh fruit with soya yoga. Our room was clean and tidy. It was useful having two basins in the bathroom. The long area was delightful to sit in and enjoy a drink. As the weather was excellent we also enjoyed coffee outside.

great location, bus stop outside with routes to lots of other lakes nearby. Excellent choice for breakfast, served nicely. Room was on 2nd floor, 4 flights of stairs to climb. Staff carried suitcase upstairs and back down again when we left. it was hot when we were there,bed had a thick duvet on,could have done with just a top sheet. stayed 2 nights, we left bedroom and bathroom windows open when we went out, but they had both been closed on our return. could have done with a fan in the room

An inside look at The Fisherbeck

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. Gin, Vodka, Whisky & Beers made right here in Cumbria are all available in our bar open 10am until 11pm daily, with a Lite Bite menu from 10am til 9pm. We are ideally situated for walks to the Lake and to the centre of Ambleside for a wide array of shops & restaurants. Three highly rated Holiday Cottages are also available sleeping between 4 & 6, all within Ambleside.

“Apart from the few negatives regarding our room, it was a very pleasant stay in a good location.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double Room
- • Stayed 7 nights
The room we stayed in was cramped. The en-suite was cramped with broken/loose floor tiles(needed towel to cover them to prevent injury). The floors were off-level by about 2 inches(bed needed propped up to make it level). It seems the rooms at the front of accommodation were bigger. On a Sunday morning at 5am, a lorry arrived just below our window at the back of the premises to collect/deliver laundry. This caused a racket for nearly 20 minutes resulting in not being able to get back to sleep. Car parking was very tight.
The staff were excellent and very obliging. Good choice of breakfast. Good location. Accommodation was very clean and in a good location.
