    Storrs Gate House is a lovely 19th Century, family-run, detached country house, nestling in its own secluded gardens. Situated opposite Lake Windermere in the heart of the beautiful Lake District National Park, the house is exclusively non-smoking and has ample parking.

    The Hawkshead Ferry is only a stone's-throw from the doorstep of Storrs Gate House, affording easy access to the far side of Lake Windermere and giving an ideal opportunity to explore areas such as Coniston Water, Tarn Hows and Grizedale Forest. The location, only half a mile from Bowness-on-Windermere, and accessible by a lakeshore stroll, makes it ideal for all local amenities, yet is still away from the hustle and bustle of the busy resort.


    There are 6 individually decorated bedrooms including three king-size four posters, two king-size double timber beds and one twin/super-king room. Each room has TV, hair dryer, central heating and tea/coffee making facilities. All are en-suite, some with large power showers.

    Two high quality bedrooms on the ground floor are suitable for the less mobile, a twin (or super-king if preferred), having a double-sized, flush to floor shower with grab rails, and an extremely spacious king-size Queen Anne four poster room with double-sized step-in shower, which opens onto a terraced garden. There is separate ramped, wheelchair access to these rooms, and portable shower chair and toilet surround frame can be provided if required. Both rooms have space in which to manoeuvre a wheelchair and are extremely well furnished.

    Guests can start the day with a choice of fayre - from a hearty, traditional Cumbrian breakfast, to a lighter or vegetarian alternative. Free-range farm eggs, Cumberland sausages, homemade muffins, jams, marmalades are a speciality.

    We offer an optional four course evening dinner and a small, select wine list. We pride ourselves on our excellent home cooked food, including homemade soups, pates and puddings, all made with local produce. (Evening dinner is by advance booking and may not always be offered at certain times, as please understand if we may need to take a break during busy (or quiet) periods.)

    Storrs Gate House is family owned and run by Vince and Shirley Byrne. We are friendly, "hands on" hosts and personally look after you during your stay with us.
