“Cottage was fantastic.”

Very spacious with everything we needed and a massive outdoor space and two parking spots which is always a bonus . Cottage was very tastefully decorated with quality furniture and fittings . Had a fantastic stay and thanks to HoftheL for sorting out our high chair . I always like to think I leave a cottage as tidy as when I arrive so you need to get a better Hoover

“The cottage is fabulous and we will definitely book again.”

Generally everything is to a high specification but there are a few items I’ve listed below which would improve the comfort and all round general experience which we thought you might like to consider………. Generally there is not enough kitchen worktop space and we were reluctant to use the glass top table for obvious reasons. Not enough microwave containers. The base for the steamers was missing. No large casserole for a family sized meal. Not enough storage space in bathrooms to store toiletries. Dressing table needed in main bedroom. Mirrors needed within hairdryer reach of power sockets in all bedrooms. Not enough Utility room hanging space or shelving for walking gear. Shower door in 2nd double room wouldn’t fold in - makes it difficult to run a bath without getting in the bath first. Only one hook on family bathroom door - 2 is useful for a bathroom that’s not en suite No hand towel for the kitchen No wooden spoons in kitchen

“Beautiful property, very comfortable.”

I would have expected to see a welcome pack of some description

“This is the second time we have stayed here, we love the location of the cottage, being able to walk into Ambleside easily and it’s very spacious.”

Just a couple of things for improvement are:- there are no facilities for recycling and a shortage of wine glasses, there are only three!!

- Sarah, February 2022

Thank you for the feedback. I will ensure that the missing wine glasses are replaced ASAP Property Owner

“An excellent cottage in a great location.”

Short walk to the centre of Ambleside, or some great walks to Skelgarth in the other direction. High end facilities throughout, lots of space and a TV for everyone! Perfect.

“Another great stay at this cottage, we stayed in June and enjoyed it so much we booked again for November.”

It's a great house in a great location

- Debbie, November 2021

Glad to welcome you back and look forward to seeing you again (hopefully when it isn't quite as wet outside). Thanks for the great feedback Property Owner

“The property was beautiful with exceptionally comfortable furnishings.”

Situated in a superb spot for walking and shopping alike. Every detail was thought of. We would love to revisit. The only thing I would mention is that the en suite shower drain was very slow, turned shower off whilst it drained the water away. We noticed a few cobwebs but realise that certain jobs are done at different periods over time.

- Dianne, November 2021

Thanks for your feedback. Really glad that you enjoyed your stay. I was up at the property last week putting Xmas decorations up, resolved the shower drain (clogged with hair), and did a deep clean. I also noticed some scuffed paintwork that will be re-paintex straight after New Year. Property Owner

“We really enjoyed our stay at Fisherbank, it was warm and great facilities and proximity to Ambleside!”

The only downside was not being able to recycle anything .

- Sarah, November 2021

The contract waste company who remove the rubbish do recycle they just dont have separate bins. They sort the waste after they collect it. Property Owner

“Fantastic stay at Fisherbeck Farm Cottage.”

The property is fitted to a high standard and offers everything you need for a great holiday. Only thing was the Sky TV wasn’t working properly so we had to use the freeview. We would love to return next year but feel that £2516 for a week (compared to £1200) is for the same week is a little steep!

“House was brilliant and had everything we needed.”

One suggested improvement to make it even better would be to enclose the patio/garden so dogs and small children don’t need to be constantly supervised. An electric car charging point would have been icing on the cake. One public charger in Ambleside, and this was broken for most of the time we were there.

“We had a wonderful week, the cottage was lovely, spacious light and airey with modern design throughout, the photo's don't do it justice.”

The BBQ was great, wished the website had mentioned this as we took our portable. The garden furniture was fabulous and the lazy susan came in handy. it is in an excellent location only a short walk into town one way or to the lake the other way we will definately book this cottage again on our next visit to Ambleside which i hope will be very soon

“Although we were pleased with the cottage there are three improvements which could be made.”

Cleaning facilities for the BBQ. Glass tables are not ideal for holiday accomodation. Every member of the party managed to bump into the coffee table. A property for use by children and dogs should really have a totally enclosed garden. In this instance that could be achieved with a gate near the front door, a small fence at the top of the lawn and a gate at the top of the back steps.

“Third time staying in this cottage.”

Always a lovely home from home. Weather has been great for a stroll into town - walking distance.

The property

Fisherbeck Farm Cottage is a stunning property completely refurbished by the owner in early 2020 creating a luxurious retreat. It offers a traditional Lakeland house, with contemporary modern living in the heart of the Lake District. Located midway between Ambleside village centre and beautiful Lake Windermere at Waterhead, it is an easy short stroll to either and is well located for all the village amenities. This charming detached character cottage is tucked away from the hustle and bustle making it an enjoyable holiday location. Set in its own garden, Fisherbeck Farm Cottage can trace its history back over two hundred and fifty years and retains several original features including exposed oak beams and traditional (updated, draft free) Lakeland Sash windows. Guests can relax and enjoy the numerous walks in the area, cruise on the lake from Waterhead, and with Ambleside's many restaurants, cafes and shops there is little need to use the car. Walks from the door include Wansfell, Troutbeck via Jenkins Crag, Todd Crag and Loughrigg Fell as well as the popular ramble to Rydal under Loughrigg or for the more adventurous, Fairfield Horseshoe. Accommodation From the moment you step inside into the spacious hallway, the owner's attention to detail is evident. The entire property is furnished to reflect the style and offers high quality throughout. The property offers a lounge with smart TV and Sky Q, seating for six and patio doors leading to the outside space. The spacious kitchen with dining area features built-in Neff appliances, another large smart TV also with Sky Q, dining table and an additional reclining sofa to relax on.

A wide staircase leads to the first floor where the three bedrooms are located. Choose from: a master bedroom with king-sized double, en-suite shower room and views to Loughrigg and Wansfell, a king-sized double with views of Loughrigg and the Langdale Valley or a twin room with views towards the Langdales. All bedrooms have smart TV’s with FreeSat. There is a modern Villeroy and Boch family bathroom with bath, shower over, wash basin and WC.

About the location

AMBLESIDE

Windermere 4 miles; Grasmere 4 mile; Keswick 15 miles.

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.
