Fabulous stay from start to finish
Absolutely fabulous stay from start to finish. Room and whole ambience were great. The owners both so hospitable and lovely. Met on arrival with a glass of port and a mince pie which was a lovely touch. The rooms were also lovely with extra touches which went above and beyond the usual. Lovely toiletries in the bathroom. And what can I say about the breakfast. Probably the best one we have ever had in a hotel before. Location is handy too, being perhaps a 10 to 15 minute walk from the centre of Bowness, the only thing to bear in mind was the last few hundred yards to the hotel there was no street lights and so was incredibly dark. But with a torch is no problem and shouldn't put you off booking this stunning little hotel. We would not hesitate to rebook if we were in the area in the future .

Storrs Gate House is beautiful and smells devine! We had the warmest welcome on arrival from the hosts Susann & Glenn who couldn’t do enough for us throughout our stay. Breakfast was generous, setting us up for the day, so much so we never lunched the whole weekend as we were too full from breakfast! The room was very clean and well decorated. You know there is a touch of class when you see The White Company toiletries offered as standard. Cannot wait to visit Lake Windermere again and for sure we’ll book Storrs Gate House as location and everything about the house and hosts was simply perfect. Highly recommended.

Susan is very friendly. She greeted us warmly. We really liked the room, which was very cozy. Susan introduced us to nearby tourist attractions and routes and gave us many tips on saving money and budget-friendly travel options. We enjoyed the breakfast at the place very much. The breakfast was very abundant and fresh, prepared by the chef on the same day. Please confirm your check-in time, as the chef needs to wake up early in the morning to prepare breakfast for each guest, so they need to go to bed early. Please make sure to check in before 9 PM to ensure their schedule is maintained.

Overall lovely stay - highly recommend
Perfect location for travelling around the lake and for going out in the local area. Delicious and ample breakfast, tailored to your needs with plenty of tasty options which set us up right for a long walk. Super comfy bed, warm, little nice things like milk and good advice on walks and local sights. They also gave us biscuits to keep us trucking on our walk on our way out the door.

what an outstanding property! This was certainly in the highest class of a B&B, more like a luxury hotel. The ambience was excellent, the rooms and living areas so tastefully decorated. The owners are a lovely middle aged couple, friendly and always happy to advise on things to see and do. It was a pleasure staying here
