Heated mirror has exposed electrical connections with brown insulation tape covering it, not correct IP rating for a sink/ bathroom.
Extractor fan going incorrect way flowing dust into bathroom.
White carpet not very white anymore (minor)
Walking distance to alot of good stuff nearby.
Beautiful clean room presented very well, ideal location for walks in the fells or just nipping into Ambleside town for a drink, would recommend this place to anybody
I booked this as a present for my son and his partner they said the place was lovely comfortable and clean check in was very easy and would definitely stay there again
We absolute loved our stay here. The Fisherbeck was lovely and our room was fantastic. So comfortable and cosi with fantastic views!
100% will book again!
Perfection location .
Check in was nice and easy, rooms were clean and spacious . Breakfast was delicious and well presented buffet .
Addition of couple of bottled water in the rooms can be a plus.
Beds are so comfy , had the best nights sleep . Close to walk into the town.
The owners of the little bar and restaurant were incredibly helpful and friendly , and the food was excellent .
We will be returning
This was a good two night stay in Ambleside. Located just outside the town centre it is an easy walk for meals and indeed not a bad base for a walk. The room was very good - bed was very comfortable. Not too sure about the Mountain View from our room but not an issue. The rest of the building is somewhat eclectic but this didn’t detract from a good stay.
Really nice room and extremely comfortable bed. Well located. Very different with no front desk service but everything well communicated. No issue getting parked either.
We stayed Monday to Friday. Situated a 10 minute walk from Ambleside so dramatically reduced the need to use the car. On site parking which was convenient. Self check-in was simple and smooth. Our room was so spacious, very clean, comfortable and very stylish, loved our separate lounge area! The onsite breakfast in the Casa restaurant was "ok" although fair to say there was lots of selection. Overall a pleasant, comfortable stay.
Perfect stay. Lovely room, modern, clean and very comfortable
Good communication. We had a minor enquiry and it was sorted within minutes even though there was no hotel reception on site. Very much appreciated.
Definitely recommend The Fisherbeck Hotel in Ambleside
It’s on the road to the lake, just outside Ambleside Our room was clean and well appointed. There are no reception staff - but very clear instructions regarding access to the property are sent to you before arrival and further information is provided in the room. We were here for one night and it was ideal for our short stay.
We had a lovely short break at Ambleside Suites and Rooms The Fisherbeck.
Our room was spotlessly clean and comfortable with a lovely big bathroom and all we needed during our stay.
The only negative was no reception which we were aware of before we arrived. We had no issues so didn't need to speak to anyone during our stay but still missed the personal touch of a welcome etc.

We were kept well informed on the details around our trip and the booking in and parking wrre very straightforward. Location is great, 3 min walk into town. Bed is very uncomfortable for our liking, far too soft, no support. Advertised as having NETFLIX etc, but yiu cant access this. Would us again, but only for a 1 night stop over.
We’ve been to the hotel previously. Obviously changed hands. Room is fantastic, but there is no longer a bar or breakfast service and no staff as there was previously. Communication was done through WhatsApp which is great but definitely more an Airbnb style now as opposed to a hotel.
Nice modern accommodation and good size rooms that have recently been renovated.
It is like self service and not a hotel which is fine if that is what you are after.
No water in room for example and no one on reception while I was on site or breakfast.
This was not a problem for me but maybe for others.
When I called the mobile number for service they were very good and even brought me a bottle of water.
