We have just retuned from a two day well earned break. We stayed in the Victorian room which was very comfortable, clean and beautifully furnished. The owners, Shirley and Vince were very helpful and friendly. The hotel is a little walk out of town but it gave us a chance to walk of the excellent breakfast and take in the... More

Thank you for sharing your experience of your stay in our lovely Victorian king-size four poster suite - we're delighted to hear you were so pleased with the room. We are, as you say, a 10-15 minute walk from Bowness, and the lakeside path around Cockshott Point, which is reached within a few minutes, shouldn't be missed for the gorgeous... More

Me and my partner stayed here for our anniversary in March we had the Tudor Room which was fab! Shirley and Vince are excellent hosts, super friendly and as a couple makes yummy breakfast. It's a little bit outside the main part of the town which we didn't mind as we got to explore and leave the car behind. Friendly... More

I booked a room at the Storrsgate House for my girlfriends birthday. I had read the reviews on TripAdvisor so I thought I would give it a go. Booking: Initially I went for the King-size room, but was contacted shortly after completion of the booking by Shirley telling me that one of the days was not available due to a... More

Our stay at Storrs Gate was one of the most pleasurable and enjoyable experiences that we have had. The room was spacious, cozy, romantic and very tastefully done. There was attention to detail and small things like make up remover pads in the washroom was so thoughtful and personal. Shirley and Vince are such lovely hosts and gave personal attention... More

Having been delegated the task of booking 'somewhere nice' for an overnight break with friends, I spent considerable time surfing the net looking for a suitable hotel or guest house. A break without the kids is a rare treat so the pressure was on to get it right! Storrs Gate House certainly ticked all the boxes and the reviews on... More

I stayed at Storrs Gate House on the 22nd December, the day before the owners closed for a couple of days for Christmas. The break was perfect from start to finish. The owners were so friendly; we arrived fairly early and asked to drop our luggage off. We expected to be told to leave our luggage in a luggage room... More
