Take Slippers! Shoes are removed at the door & from that point you feel like you’ve been welcomed into their home. The room was immaculate, breakfast is pretty much anything you fancy, Glen & Susann were very welcoming and super friendly.

Wasn’t what we thought we’d booked tbh. The marina & the lake are not visible from the house. Not sure about ‘balcony rooms’ either, It’s very convenient for walking into Bowness (about 10 mins) which makes the parking invaluable.

Lovely stay with very welcoming and friendly hosts. Good to have parking and was an easyish walk into town via the marina. We were lucky that it was dry and warm whilst we were there !
Had a beautiful room which was nicely furnished with a great bed, large bathroom and a decent powerful shower. Breakfast ordered the night before and it was top notch. Lovely fresh fruit with yoghurt and a full English with Eggs cooked to perfection. No faults or complaints and would 100% recommend.

Came for a 5-night break in the Lake District, this B & B did not disappoint. The owners Susann & Glenn were very welcoming. Shoes are left at the door, so do bring slippers. The rooms are bright, spotlessly clean, well furnished with tea, coffee & biscuits plus a small fridge, all thoughtfully and immaculately presented.
Breakfast was amazing, fresh fruit with yoghurt & granola, followed by a full cooked breakfast. fruit juices, toast and preserves. The staff are helpful and friendly.
There is a lakeside walk into Bowness, which is lovely and takes a 10-minute leisurely stroll. Nothing was too much trouble, we would happily stay again.
Parking is on site.

We only stayed at Storrs Gate House for one night to break a long journey to Scotland but we would have no hesitation in returning for longer to explore the area properly. The accommodation was supremely comfortable, the breakfast was superb and the hosts were wonderfully welcoming. Storrs Gate House is only a short and pleasant stroll from the centre of Bowness but far enough away to be quiet and tranquil. Altogether top notch. Highly recommended.

Good location, clean rooms. Good breakfast. The gardens are lovely as well, although we were there in inclement weather. Would be lovely in the summer. We would make one suggestion - the host asked us to leave our shoes at the front door which is fine, as obviously that keeps the property very clean, but it would have been good to know before we arrived as then we could have taken slippers, but this didn’t detract from our stay.

The place and rooms were nice but the experience was overshadowed by the bad behaviour of the hostess. We were 15 minites late in checking out coz i had bumped my head. She never offered to help while my forehead was swelling up, refused to give ice or anything to help and just wanted us out of the room.
She closed the door to the living room area when we came down the stairs and made us wait for our taxi out in the cold..

What a little gem of a guest house this is, just yards from the shore of Lake Windermere opposite the marina and just a 20 minute walk from Bowness ( or a couple of minutes max by car ! ) Owners Susanne and Glenn are lovely warm friendly hosts and are very welcoming and more than happy to give you any help needed with info on the local area. The guest house is bright and beautifully clean with a slightly 'chintzy' decor, but at least it has character rather than the sterile corporate identikit look of many hotels. Breakfast choice is excellent, fresh berries, granola, cereals etc etc, all the usual, and the cooked food is delicious and freshly prepared for you when you go down to breakfast. Our bed was on the firm side but nontheless was very comfortable and lovely and warm and the pillows were excellent. All in all with the guest house very good EXCEPT the road noise was awful ! The windows were of the sash design which do not seal well even when closed so we got the roar of every car, bike, van etc that went past in our room, usually falling quiet around 1.00am. For me, this made sleeping difficult and was the only real negative to our stay.

Fabulous stay from start to finish

Absolutely fabulous stay from start to finish. Room and whole ambience were great. The owners both so hospitable and lovely. Met on arrival with a glass of port and a mince pie which was a lovely touch. The rooms were also lovely with extra touches which went above and beyond the usual. Lovely toiletries in the bathroom. And what can I say about the breakfast. Probably the best one we have ever had in a hotel before. Location is handy too, being perhaps a 10 to 15 minute walk from the centre of Bowness, the only thing to bear in mind was the last few hundred yards to the hotel there was no street lights and so was incredibly dark. But with a torch is no problem and shouldn't put you off booking this stunning little hotel. We would not hesitate to rebook if we were in the area in the future .

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.

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.

Excellent hosts but room too small for comfort

The breakfasts and hosts for local advice were excellent but the room was way too small for international travellers. I booked a room for my wife and I one up from standard which was called a \"Luxury Double Room\" for 5 nights at an increase of 53 pounds per night higher than our 5 night stay at Oakridge Lynch in the Cotswolds. Both places were booked through Hotels.com about 6 weeks before arrival. The room at the Cotswolds was clearly superior, either the Lakes District is far more expensive than Cotswolds or Storrs Gate House is over priced, I think the later is probably more true. On a 4 week UK/Europe stay we have 2 full size bags & 2 airline hand size bags. The 4 poster bed basically filled the whole room. We had 1 luggage rack for one case, the small triangular wardrobe just fitted in one small hand luggage bag on its end, than luckily there was enough room under the bed for the full size and other hand luggage bag. Otherwise would of have to have put these two cases on top of the bed. The bathroom was no better with sloping roof cutting off space on toilet side and a small quarter circle shower where by the end of the shower always stood in at least an inch of water. It drained in a couple of minutes but still you don't expect this in any priced accommodation. My advice for Lakes District trip is that the lower area is fun to visit but if you have a car there appears to be better value around not too far away Ambleside.

Had to change rooms as the TV didn't work in first room (which was very small - I had booked a king). All very clean. Staff accommodating. Thought it unsual that all the windows, in both bedrooms, were painted shut! The 2nd room smelled of cooked fish, very odd. Only window I managed to open was the one in the bathroom.
