We booked a family room for 2 nights during October half term. We had our 11 year old and our 18mth old with us. The location of the hotel is excellent, easy walking distance in either direction to nice eateries and bars. Ambleside is a nice village in a stunning part of the country. The Fisherbeck has clearly had some... More

A truly wonderful hotel - so much more than a B&B - with lovely rooms, extremely comfortable beds, and mouthwatering breakfasts. We travelled in a large group and had 6 rooms between us. All the rooms were different and very well decorated with fabulous en-suite bathrooms. Ours had a balcony overlooking the front which had lovely views. Our friends had... More

The normal hotel facilities were available in the room i.e. kettle, tea and coffee making facilities, hair dryer. The bathroom featured a spa bath,... More

We really enjoyed our stay at the Fisherbeck. Our room (7) was large, clean and comfortable with a good-sized bathroom and a great view (which we had paid extra for). The breakfasts were delicious with great quality produce, all served efficiently. It was good to be able to park onsite, and the hotel is in a good location a few... More

Stayed for two nights. Room adequate but no internet in the room, need to go down to the lobby. Breakfast excellent, staff very attentive (looks stressed). Vey clean, good location and ample parking. Narrow stairs, carrying suitcases will be fun. More

This was an anniversary surprise arranged by husband and I was handed the hotel information on the way to Ambleside, so expected the room on the confirmation (a bright yellow decorated room) to be the one we would be allocated. Check-in was friendly and we were shown to a room on the 2nd floor (Room 7) which was not the... More

We spent two enjoyable days at The Fisherbeck, we were in one of the rooms due for refurbishment this winter but apart from the lack of pressure in the shower thought it was OK ~ spotlessly clean and the beds were comfortable. The two flights of stairs were more of a problem ~ my husband is disabled and trying to... More

The Fisherbeck breakfast was amazing - old-fashioned service, a fantastic choice of food - it felt like we were on holiday in a different era. However, the hotel itself made us feel the same. No major criticisms and if it had called itself a b and b it would have been very good in this category. But for a hotel... More
