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

As soon as you walk in, you know that the owners of Storrs Gate House take pride in what they do. Both Shirely and Vince are friendly and helpful. When things are not right, they take immediate action to correct it. The rooms are nicely decorated and very cozy. We stayed in Room 1, which is lovely, richly decorated in... more

We have recently had a mid week break to Storrs Gate House. We cannot rate our stay highly enough. As soon as you arrive you are greeted warmly and notice the lovely furnishings and tapestries, which we believe have been made by Shirley and her mother Jean. The standard of our room was fantastic! It seemed to have been carefully... more

We visited for our little honeymoon holiday and could not have picked a better place. Even though we took our 3 year old little girl it was still very romantic and it was the guest house that made it feel like this. The rooms were very tidy and clean and the breakfasts were excellent, catering for individual choice. The setting... more

We stayed here for the weekend in July 2007, & were very impressed. We had an awful drive up to the Lakes, & had been stuck in traffic jams which meant we arrived later than we would have liked. However, Vince was very welcoming, & even offered us a drink when it must have been passed his bedtime! We stayed... more

I stayed with Vince and Shirley Byrne for three nights, and was made to feel completely at home. My ensuite double room was more than comfortable and well appointed, and I found myself looking forward to breakfast every morning! I couldn't resist the full English breakfast, although the muffins and croissants were very tempting. Vince drove me into town every... more

My girlfriend and I stayed at Storrs Gate House for two nights last weekend and we both thought it was brilliant. We stayed in room 5 which is on a floor to itself. At first I thought the room looked a bit small but my opinion changed during the stay as we found the room to be easily big enough... more

Well what can we say?....... we stayed in the Queen Ann four poster bed for 2 nights and well the room was more than beautiful. Vince & Shirley Byrne who are the proprietors of the Storrsgate House keep a very warm, pleasant and welcoming house. The breakfast was second to none although we were told by our friend to try... more
