“Stunning new rooms”

Preston, Lancashire
21 Apr 2008

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, and I loved the addition of White Company complimentary toiletries.
They've built a huge new dining room, the perfect setting for eating their fabulous breakfasts. Plenty of room for all, I certainly won't be knocking elbows with the next table, unlike a few other places I've stayed in the lakes! Also, they said that they should have sky installed in time for our next visit. Perfect location and great value for money, highly recommended.

“B&B Perfection”

Storrs Gate House

14 Apr 2008

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 even the longest of fell walks. Short walk to Bowness. Probably one of the best B&B's I have stayed at in a long time.

“A lovely B&B”

Storrs Gate House

31 Mar 2008

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.

“Loved Storrs Gate House!”

Storrs Gate House

19 Mar 2008

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
