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 burgandy. Although not located right in town, it is a short walk away which makes it more peaceful. Easy to see why this property has received so much praise.

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 put together and created a comfortable yet luxurious feel.
Vince is a lovely host but does not intrude on your stay so that you can come and go as you please. Shirley is an excellent cook and the breakfasts are worth getting up early for, especially the sausages that we were told are locally produced!
Bowness is also a good base if you want to travel around or just have a quiet time around the town.
All in all we really felt like we had 'got away from it all' and look forward to a return trip!

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 was perfect, peaceful but still close enough to all the attractions, shops and resturants. We will be going back for sure. Thanks Caroline and David

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 in the Victorian room (I forget the name) on the first floor. It was very cosy, with a nice comfy four poster bed & en-suite bathroom.
At breakfast, we had a lovely table overlooking the garden, where we were entertained by the different birds feeding outside. The food was delicious.
Vince gave us lots of helpful advice about where to visit & directions.
We really felt that they went out of their way to ensure that we had a good time, & that nothing was too much bother.
Do try & stay here if you are in the area, it's well worth it!
