United KingdomThe location was fine, just an 8 minute walk from Ambleside. The breakfast was superb. I had a full english breakfast first day, minus hash brown. cooked to perfection. Next day I had smoked Kipper which was very nice, I asked for an egg [they gave me two] the waitress askes how I wanted the poached egg soft, medium or hard - said medium and they were perfect. The main breakfast was preceded with cereal and fruit of all sorts, and you could have whatever you wanted. Extra toast and coffee or tea was freely offered - and accepted.
United KingdomRoom was lovely, clean and modern. Free parking on site. Breakfast was fantastic. Staff were extremely friendly, polite and attentive.

Property info
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 open 10am until 11pm daily. We are ideally situated for walks to the Lake and to the centre of Ambleside for a wide array of shops & restaurants.
Neighborhood info
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.
