We stayed at the Storrs Gate for 4 days in June. Our hosts were very friendly people and were very helpful with places to see, things to do etc. The breakfast was excellent and very tasty with a good service. The room was spacious and clean with character. It was a short walk to Bowness. Very charming stay and would... more

Just returned from 2 nights at Storrs Gate, lovely hosts, lovely good sized room with everything you will need, good quality food, good location, very clean. 15 minute flat stroll to the bottom of Bowness. Yes its at the top end of the B&B price range but you get what you pay for and this is reflected in the level... more

After reading the reviews on Tripadvisor; we decided to stay here the week before Easter. Shirley made it very clear at the time of booking that some building work would be just finishing and decorating still going on. Their website is very informative and unlike some websites it shows you exactly what you get. We had a personal tour of... more

My wife and I stayed at Storrs Gate House last weekend and had a wonderful time there. We hadn't booked in advanced and so Vince and Shirley were not expecting us, but you would never have known that. The room was imacculately clean and they were both very friendly upon our arrival. Shirley is a fantastic cook and nothing was... more

A truely delightful and welcoming expereince. The house has the feel of a wonderful antique shop but without the accompanying musky smell. To say the guest house is spotless is not an understatement. The welcome was warm and unobtrusive. Ten minute walk into Bownesss along the banks of the lake. No problems with food and drink establishments and a taxi... more

I've been here with my wife a couple of times, it's a good place if you are after a quaint English B&B, however at £110 pn it is way overpriced and you can find othe accomodation of similar standard for £30 a night less so unless you really want that four poster bed, you shouldn't bother. The location is good,... more

Stayed at Storrs Gate House for the 2nd time in April, 2 new rooms were just being finished, the owners showed us round them, wow! Extremely impressive, one has it's own dressing room and the other has a private lounge area with fancy TV and dvd player, we booked the Jacobean with the lounge for our next visit. Complete luxury,... more

We stayed here for a long weekend and could not find fault. The room we stayed in (number 5 at the top) was uber clean, very comfortable and quiet. The room has a very good bathroom and shower. Vince and Shirley are wonderful guests and made you feel "at home" the moment you arrive. Breakfast will keep you going on... more
