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

My husband and I stayed here in November. Neither of us had been to the Lake District before so didn't know what to expect. We only booked Storrs Gate the night before we arrived and it looked the best of what was available. We're so glad we chose it as the room was lovely and the welcome fantastic. The owners... More

Room 4 is our king-size double en-suite with "sleigh" bed and the shower is, as with all our rooms a high quality power shower. Breakfast is personally cooked and we ensure the... More

Myself and my partner stayed here in the summer and had a great time. The guest house is incredibly weloming and the husband/ wife team attended to our every needs. I'd highly recommend this to others as a base when heading to the lakes for a weekend. More

I came to this B&B with my husband for a one night stay to escape the kids. On arrival we were taken to our four poster room (Tudor Room) which was beautifully decorated and very clean. It had a wonderful ensuite with powershower, tea and coffee tray, fridge and mini bar, sky tv and well upholstered 'tub chairs'. The hosts... More

Food- fault less. It's such good quality breakfast. Local produce and home made jam really does add a special touch Location: nice walk to the shops in Windermere or only £3 in a taxi. Go to the Italian called Villa Positano, on the cobble street but not Porto Fenio. The Sol bar is nice but the food isn't much special.... More
