Welcome to Ambleside Rooms & Suites
A fresh take on elegant accommodation in the heart of the Lake District
Set within a beautifully preserved 200-year-old former farmhouse—originally gifted as a marriage present—Ambleside Rooms & Suites stands proudly on the historic site of the former Fisherbeck Hotel. Today, it offers a thoughtfully reimagined stay for adults seeking comfort, independence, and simplicity.
Perfectly positioned, it’s just a 5-minute walk to the left to reach Lake Windermere, and a 5-minute walk to the right to arrive in the heart of Ambleside village, with its cosy cafés, shops, and welcoming atmosphere. With numerous walking routes starting right from the doorstep, and proximity to several Michelin-starred and award-winning restaurants, it’s an ideal base for both outdoor adventures and exceptional dining.
