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 or something, but instead we were made cery welcome and shown to our room. The room was large and bright, with a huge bathroom with big walk in shower - one of the most powerful I have used! Every attention had been paid to the detail, with gorgeous bathing products (the White Company), tea, coffee, horlicks, hot chocolate etc and milk in the fridge, together with a mini-bar at extra but reasonable cost. The linen was gorgeous, and the bed so comfortable and very quiet at night to aid a good nights sleep. The owners seemed to take a real interest in you and when we got there advised us where would be nice to walk and called a taxi for us to take us into town in the evening. The town centre is very walkable, but if you are going at night in high heels probably not advisable as there are some muddy parts.

Finally the breakfast was outstanding! Home-made bread, jam, marmalade and yoghurt, together with with little touches such as home soaked prunes in alcohol!! All locally sourced ingredients too, with a good choice including smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, full english or continental.

Sorry its taken me so long to put this review on, but I really wanted to make sure that people go here - its great value and outstanding quality. Thank you for a lovely break, we will definitely recommend and come back.

From arrival to departure an excellent stay .We are regular visitors to the Lakes all year round and use all levels of accommodation from a tent to a 5* hotel.
Storrs gate is definitely up there with the best. We stayed in the Victorian suite for 2 nights which was very quite and snug.The standard of furnishings , facilities and even the reasonably priced mini bar were all of a very high standard and well presented.The bed was comfortable with plenty of bedding. The bathroom & dressing area was spacious clean and well equipped (to the extent we copied and went out and bought a similar rain shower head the next week!)
The owners were friendly and welcoming, efficient without being OTT.Happy to give guidance based on local knowledge regarding restaurants attractions and the area in general.
The breakfast was very good and always plenty on offer. Our only slightly negative observation, not a criticism, is that for a weekend it is served quite early over a short time scale that may not suit everyone.
The location is on a road junction but it is neither intrusive nor problematic for entry/exit for the well laid out car park (we have a large 4x4 which was accommodated with ease). It is ideally suited for getting into Windermere/Bowness on foot. The general area of course being well located for access to the west coast as well as the remainder of the Lakes.
Storrs Gate is not the cheapest B&B in the area and can be matched for cost by some reasonable hotels. However the overall quality and hospitality of the place at least matches them and makes it superb value for money.
Overall, recommended without reservation.

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 were happy to recommend places to see and eat. The walk into Bowness was a bit dark but we were offered torches and taxi numbers!
We stayed in Room 4 and it was lovely. The shower was fab and the towels were lovely and big.
Breakfast was worth every penny. Each night we were asked to order our breakfast from a long list of delights. The scrambled eggs and salmon was devine as was the full English. The home made marmalade was gorgeous - The only problem with staying 3 nights is that you don't get to try everything on the menu!
We tried the Brown Horse pub at Winster one night (on recommendation) and it was well worth the 5 minute drive.
I'd love to return to Storrs Gate as it is perfectly placed for Bowness, the ferry and the marina.
Thank you for a lovely stay.

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.
