All the staff were very pleasant, friendly & efficient. Felt very COVID safe - exceptionally clean. Vegetarian Breakfast was delicious.
United KingdomThe facilities in our room, number 9, were excellent. Everything about The Fisherbeck is top quality, even the hairdryer. We'd booked a twin room only half an hour before turning up, however the bed was made up as a double when we arrived, Marissa was by herself in reception but she separated the bed for us when we went out to dinner. She was very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was freshly cooked and tasty. Must mention there is a whirlpool bath and 2 sinks in the bathroom. Plus we had a beautiful view from our window.

Property information
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. Gin, Vodka, Whisky & Beers made right here in Cumbria are all available in our bar. We are ideally situated for walks to the Lake and to the centre of Ambleside for a wide array of shops & restaurants.
Neighbourhood information
Ambleside is the perfect location for a visit to the English Lake District with fell walks & mountain bike trails right from the front door. Lake Windermere is just a few minutes stroll from our property for a wide range of water sports and a vast number of other outdoor activities are close by, including an indoor climbing wall. For the less active Ambleside is centrally located for easy access to a number of National Trust or English Heritage properties. Shops and restaurants abound in walking distance so there is no need to move the car once parked in our private car park.
