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

Had a wonderful stay here from 20 Aug 2007 - 27 Aug 2007. Fantastic breakfast, especially the homemade jam! Lovely people that made you feel you were not intruding on their fabulous home! Ideally situated as a base for exploring the Lake District as it was our first visit to the area. Loved the tips that they gave us on... more

My wife and I visited the Lake District and stayed at Storrs Gate House the evenings of July 13-15, 2007. What can one say about this place? It's lovely and charming, and the hosts, Vince and Shirley Byrne, are accommodating and as pleasant as can be. The place is well deserving of its awards. (See the inn's web site (www.storrsgatehouse.co.uk)... more

The hotel is very clean and the owners Vince and Shirley are very friendly. Its a few minutes away from the town center where you will find quite a few bars and restaurants. We stayed in room five which is on the second floor and has a nice view over the garden. The room was en-suite and very comfortable. The... more

We arrived on Mon 28th May (Bank holiday). The weather was little dull but OK. Bowness was very busy as expected. Vince and Shirley welcomed us upon arrival, then took us through what we needed to know about breakfast, meals etc... They then asked us what we had planned for our stay and helped us with advice and local knowledge... more

An excellent place to stay. My fiancé and I recently stayed in the Queen Anne Room for four nights. It's a great room with a lovely four poster bed. Outside is a charming patio which is great, especially when the sun shines. The owners are very helpful without being pushy - for example they served dinner at night, but were... more
