We arrived to a warm welcome and the friendliness and kindness continued throughout our stay
Amazing breakfast cooked to perfection
Situated in a perfect place with everything accessible
Ample parking would highly recommend to anyone looking to stay in Bowness
Storrs Gate House is beautiful and smells devine! We had the warmest welcome on arrival from the hosts Susann & Glenn who couldn’t do enough for us throughout our stay. Breakfast was generous, setting us up for the day, so much so we never lunched the whole weekend as we were too full from breakfast! The room was very clean and well decorated. You know there is a touch of class when you see The White Company toiletries offered as standard. Cannot wait to visit Lake Windermere again and for sure we’ll book Storrs Gate House as location and everything about the house and hosts was simply perfect. Highly recommended.
This was a spontaneous stay, and we were very pleased we chose this hotel. The owners and staff were lovely and welcoming. Our room was great. Would stay again.
Beautiful property amazing hosts who cant do enough for you. Suzanne greeted us at the property and made sure to recommend local restaurants for our evening meals. The breakfast fruit starter is amazing and Glen cooks a mean breakfast with high quality produce. Rooms are spacious clean and individual. Highly recommended would definately stay again.
This B and B is a short walk from Bowness-on-Windermere. The owners were very welcoming and helpful. This property is immaculate and well maintained. The full English breakfast was outstanding. Enjoyed a free upgrade to a better room on arrival. Thank you
Susan is very friendly. She greeted us warmly. We really liked the room, which was very cozy. Susan introduced us to nearby tourist attractions and routes and gave us many tips on saving money and budget-friendly travel options. We enjoyed the breakfast at the place very much. The breakfast was very abundant and fresh, prepared by the chef on the same day. Please confirm your check-in time, as the chef needs to wake up early in the morning to prepare breakfast for each guest, so they need to go to bed early. Please make sure to check in before 9 PM to ensure their schedule is maintained.
Fabulous B & B great location short walk to lakeside and town. Accommodation spotless, beautifully done out and very comfortable. Owners and staff so friendly and helpful . Garden is gorgeous with lots of places to sit and relax. Excellent breakfast too .Highly recommended *****
Perfect location for travelling around the lake and for going out in the local area. Delicious and ample breakfast, tailored to your needs with plenty of tasty options which set us up right for a long walk. Super comfy bed, warm, little nice things like milk and good advice on walks and local sights. They also gave us biscuits to keep us trucking on our walk on our way out the door.
what an outstanding property! This was certainly in the highest class of a B&B, more like a luxury hotel. The ambience was excellent, the rooms and living areas so tastefully decorated. The owners are a lovely middle aged couple, friendly and always happy to advise on things to see and do. It was a pleasure staying here
Absolutely beautiful property. Amazing hosts, so welcoming and very informative . Stunning decor, spotlessly clean. Hosts had thought of everything to make our stay a thoroughly enjoyable experience . Would highly recommend - do not miss this gem of a place
Stunning. Loved it
