Excellent place to stay, fabulous hosts who had brilliant local knowledge, recommendations and very caring and accomodating. The breakfast and service was awesome, will certainly be coming back again.
Good location close to centre of Bowness.
Very friendly staff and the room was very comfortable with good facilities including white company soap and shampoo.
Excellent breakfast.
We can't recommend Storrs Gate House enough, such a good break away here. Susann and Glenn are amazing hosts, such friendly, lovely people. Breakfasts were incredible and definitely set you up for the day, we are missing those breakfasts!
The house is so beautiful, our room was perfect, plenty of space and beautifully decorated.
Our celebratory time away was made all the more special staying at Storrs Gate, we would definitely like to stay here again, thank you for such a lovely stay.
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.

Very attentive staff, lovely breakfast, short walk to all the shops and bars. Will definitely come back.
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.
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.
We had a great couple of days.
The room was very spacious and comfortable and the breakfast was excellent.
We were well looked after and would definitely stay here again the next time we visit the Lake District.
Wonderful stay in a lovely little B&B. Convenient location just half a mile from Bowness, close to the marina. Beautiful surroundings and the B&B is run by a lovely old couple. Perfect for a few days in the Lake District
We arrived to a warm welcome and the friendliness and kindness continued throughout our stay
Amazing breakfast cooked to perfection
Situated in a perfect place with everything accessible
Ample parking would highly recommend to anyone looking to stay in Bowness
Glenn and Susann were lovely hosts who showed us great hospitality. The bed was very comfortable, and breakfast was skillfully cooked to order, full of options and served with great attention. We enjoyed our stay at Storrs Gate House during our time in the Lake District.
Beautiful accommodation, Suzanne was very welcoming, helpful and looked after us during our stay. Room was so lovely, big French windows were so beautiful.
What a pleasure to stay at this beautiful property, with fantastic hosts. The quality of the breakfast is top draw and without a doubt the best egg and bacon sandwich I have ever tasted.
A short beautiful walk along the lake leads to bars and shops.
We will definitely be back.
We had a fabulous stay in the Storrs gate bed and breakfast. Everything was wonderful. Our room was lovely and the breakfast was very nice. It's just a short walk to lake Windermere and all amenities. Really lovely!
This is by far the best stay we have ever had as a couple visiting the Lake District very frequently. The house is absolutely beautiful and the owners Susan and Glenn were the most wonderful hosts. The rooms are absolutely stunning and the quality of the breakfast is 5 star.
This place was perfect. It was spotless. Lots of little extras that made it special. Breakfast was all local and delicious. Hosts were so friendly. Could not pick fault with anything.
