We stayed one night at Storrs Gate House in room 7. On arrival we were made very welcome by Shirley and Vince. The four poster en-suite room has been finished to a very high standard, and was very comfortable. Did not experience any traffic "swishing" noise. Breakfast in the newish extension was excellent and plentiful, also great fun to watch... more

Highly rated on tripadvisor and advertised as being winner of B & B of the year in the local tourism awards 2009 so I booked without checking its exact location. The brochure says that the property is "nestling in its own quiet and secluded gardens", however it is on the corner of an A road and a B road. Even... more

There’s nothing like an unhappy review to bring you back down to earth! Still proud of our achievement as winners of Bed and Breakfast of the Year 2009, and twice “Mystery Shopped” (in respect of both the Cumbria Tourism Awards and the North West Tourism Awards) with results of 97% and 95% respectively, we feel we must respond in our...

This was our first stay at Storrs Gatehouse and I am sure we will be back. We stayed in room 2 which was beautifully furnished with its own lounge and comfortable four poster bed. The facilities in the bathroom were excellent especially the shower which was powerful and very welcome after our long walks. Without being obtrusive, Vince and Shirley... more

We stayed at Storrs Gate House for 5 nights at the End of September. We had room #7. A very comfortable room, with a 4-poster bed and an extra bathroom. It is lovely decorated and very cosy, with lots of space. Everything matches the description on the webside. The room was absolutely well looked after and clean. Shirley and Vince... more

Great B&B and winner of the Cumbria Best B&B award. I booked because the reviews were good plus being voted best in area was a good indication. Excellent location about 10 mins easy walk from the main town (lake a few mins walk the other side of the road). The town is busy and fairly full so not easy parking... more

Vince and Shirley created a sense of welcome right from the beginning. We stayed in Room 2 which was comfortable, spacious, with its own sitting room, and a great 4 post bed. Vince and Shirley were so attentive and helpful but still respected your personal space and quiet. They let us borrow some DVD's from their extensive collection which at... more

We stayed at Storrs Gate House for three nights at the end of August. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel very welcome by the owners. The hotel has a convenient location, 10-15 minutes walk from Bowness town centre, and close to the Hawkshead ferry. The hotel is tastefully decorated in a traditional style, but still manages... more

Excellent accommodation, very comfortable, very clean room with a lovely four poster bed and everything you could ask for. Toiletries were from the White Company - nice touch. The breakfast was superb - even had home made yogurt and jams etc. Superb hosts with a lovely warm welcome - cup of tea in their beautiful gardens on arrival. Short walk... more

On arrival I made to feel very welcome and Shirley and Vince offered tea and bisquits in their lounge. I met a lovely couple and they welcomed me for my 4 days stay in the Lake District in the best weather I ever had there, only sunshine! They were friendly and very helpful. My room, Nr. 4, was big, spotless... more
