Perfectly positioned on the edge of Ambleside, the picturesque stone dwelling of Fisherbeck Cottage presents a delightful base for families or groups of four who seek an action-packed adventure in the Lake District with their lovable canine companion. Step inside this homely abode and be greeted by a quaint yet well-equipped kitchen, beautifully-appointed with cream shaker-style cabinets and an abundance of handy appliances such as an electric double oven and a spacious fridge/freezer. Take two steps down to a restful sitting/dining room and discover two bright red sofas, a multi-fuel stove and a sleek TV with both a DVD player and Freeview, together providing the perfect space to rest and recuperate following an action-packed adventure exploring your incredible surroundings. Delight in many meals at the pretty oak dining table, or venture out onto the patio for alfresco dining and embrace the fresh countryside air as you crack open a bottle of bubbly and raise a glass to quality time with your loved ones. Back inside, guests can enjoy a refreshing rinse in the ground-floor shower room, or venture upstairs to the spacious family bathroom and indulge in a long evening soak in the bathtub. The first floor also benefits from three lovely bedrooms made up of a double and two singles, each complete with calming neutral hues and charming country-style furnishings. Set about your day with a relaxing stroll into the centre of Ambleside, where you can grab breakfast at one of the friendly cafés and see the striking 17th century dwelling of The Bridge House that sits proudly over a babbling Stock Beck River. Spot the enchanting waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force and uncover the remains of the ancient Ambleside Roman Fort, lying just a stone’s throw away. Make the most of your time in the Lake District with days spent hiking through Green Gable, or challenging yourself to scale one of the many mountain peaks such as Wansfell Pike and Black Fell. Take a tour of the imposing 19th century National Trust owned Wray Castle, or visit the neighbouring village of Rydall to learn of the life of the famous English poet, William Wordsworth, at his former family home Rydal Mount & Gardens and the museum of Wordsworth Grasmere. No trip to the Lake District is complete without a visit to the idyllic town of Bowness-on-Windermere, home to the popular The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction and fantastic river cruises, as well as a wide selection of quirky local stores and bustling bars, cafés, and restaurants! Escape to the wonderful landscapes of the Lake District National Park with an unforgettable stay at Fisherbeck Cottage.

Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside makes a superb base for touring the central Lakes, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. There is plenty to do here - cruises, boat trips and watersports on Lake Windermere itself and numerous shops, restaurants and pubs in the village to suit all tastes. On the lakeside at Waterhead, the parkland offers lovely views down the lake and a short stretch of beach, whilst a walk in the other direction, following Stock Ghyll through woodland, will bring you to the entrancing waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force. Along with the Lake and the great walking on offer, Ambleside is also famous for its annual rushbearing ceremony and the diminutive 17th century “Bridge House” - one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District and now the National Trust Information Centre.
