Lake view Staff
The staff were very polite and helpful creating a relaxed environment
Excellent venue with great staff. Food was excellent both Evening and breakfast! Grounds immaculate and beautiful views of the lake! Fantastic experience
Beautiful location next to the lake
We had an exceptional experience at Storrs Hall. The buildings and surrounding area were beautiful as was the room we were given. Set right on the lake it was such a great location. But the best part of the experience was the customer service. Every member of the team went out of their way to make us feel welcome and do everything they could to assist us. This was not your average hotel experience. Special thanks to Lucy who could not have done more for us and was amazing. Plus the breakfast was superb! Highly recommend this hotel in the Lakes.
Great location - good sized family room. With excellent on site restaurant. Staff were lovely, friendly and accommodating.
Amazing
We loved the hotel architecture, furniture, location, and friendly and welcoming staff. Great place to relax
What a beautiful place Storrs Hall is. And not just because of the wonderful historic building set in an incredible location, the high standard of furnishings and cleanliness, but also because of the high quality of service and attentiveness that every member of staff provides. From the check in experience, the bar, the Bistro and breakfast, everyone couldn’t have been more polite or helpful. And speaking of food, wow! We ate in the bistro, and the food was stunning, and very reasonably priced (IMO). Breakfast the next morning was also such a high quality treat. I have nothing but positive things to say about our stay at the hotel.
Beautiful hotel & setting. Staff are delightful.
This is the finest place I've stayed in the Lakes thus far. The hotel grounds are magnificent. The rooms are spacious and well-appointed. Every meal was exceptional, both breakfasts and dinners. For me, what truly sets Storrs Hall apart is the excellence of the entire staff. Everyone was so friendly and glad to assist. I've rarely, if ever, experienced such a warm welcome and genuine interaction. The hotel's location feels rather remote, and no public transportation (bus/boat/train) can be easily accessed by foot. That said, Bowness is a five-minute drive away. Car parks are plentiful there. Highly recommended for an idyllic getaway. I would be delighted to stay at Storrs Hall again.
One word - brilliant!!
A friendly welcome with great service throughout the checkin process. The hotel Itself is beautiful and it was nice to have access to lovely lounge areas, bar and stunning gardens. Particularly nice in the evening just as the sun was setting. The rooms were large and well appointed and the shower was amazing. Loved the TV in the bath, not that we used it but still novel for those wanting to truely unwind. The included breakfast was delicious with a range of options to meet all tastes.
We celebrated my husbands 70th birthday. The hotel and staff were amazing. We were very
View was incredible! Beautiful inside, however the building outside needs to be painted and cleaned. Great hotel!
Expensive drinks in the bar.
We have visited here many times over the last four years and we have never been disappointed. Everything about this venue is superb, especially the wonderful staff who never fail to make us feel at home. Nothing is too much trouble for them. The hotel is so comfortable with lots of rooms to sit and relax. The log fires add to the comfort. Breakfast is so enjoyable with lots of choice. You can dine in the Bistro or the Restaurant and the food is all lovely. There is also a bar menu if you just want a snack.
Really nice building and wonderful views around the place. All the staffs are top notch! Also both of the restaurants served five stars foods. Had a really nice experience there with my wife. Hopefully we can bring our kids there one day.
We absolutely love Storrs Hall Hotel. Staff are attentive, food is great and wine list is brill. It feels like a relaxed home. The location in the Lakes is brilliant.
Lovely stay gorgeous hotel and service
A beautiful old building. Stunning views. The staff were amazing every one of them, could not do enough for you, anticipated needs before we had them. The food was stunning although rich and fancy, be nice to have lighter options. Could have been warmer but the fires were on and all radiators all the time and it was in the minus numbers in a very old house so it’s forgiven.
We love it here. It’s so serene. The food and service is impeccable. Grounds and lake views are so lovely. We brought our adult son and his girlfriend and they loved it so much too. If there’s one thing to improve or would be to have the outside painted See you again soon hopefully
Positives: The grounds of the hotel are beautiful right on the lake. The food was really tasty (I ate in the bistro) and breakfast was especially special with lots of offerings and extras offered - all plate served not buffet style. The staff were all friendly and made me feel welcome. My room and bathroom were really clean - dressing gown and towel provided and a cloud 9 hairdryer is a bonus. Espresso machine and freebies included is a nice touch. Huge bed and smart TV. Cons: I paid £88 on Expedia only to find out when checking out that this was just a “deposit?” And was charged an additional £25 (was not expecting this). My bedroom door didn’t lock - I mentioned to someone on reception that it wasn’t auto locking when I left the room but they did not check for me and said I mustn’t be shutting it properly (the lock was not working and I slept with it unlocked all night) Had it have been inner city I would have felt unsafe but in the lakes I was ok with it.
Excellence from start to finish in every respect. Attentive staff without being over bearing. Lovely ambience. Well appointed, spacious room (even though it was only the ‘standard’ level) Excellent breakfast in a great setting overlooking Lake Windermere followed by a stroll around the grounds with beautiful views of the Lake District National Park. Recommend without reservation
Beautiful property with friendly staff.
Beautiful room well appointed. The property is located right on the lake and it is spectacular.
We stayed for one night just for a break the hotel was lovely inside and out a very relaxing place to stay the staff we came across were friendly and especially Olivia on the reception desk from arriving to leaving nothing was too much even ringing us so we didn’t miss breakfast overall a very pleasant place to stay and would definitely stay again
Stunning property, wonderful location and views. Excellent staff of the highest caliber and super friendly.
A beautiful place to stay, scenes were stunning over the lake. The building its self was lovely. 10/10 from me and would without a doubt stay again, All of the staff were polite and always great with a hello and a smile. Thanks again.
Fabulous location, gorgeous rooms with great lake views, lovely staff, delicious breakfasts.
Lovely 4 star hotel on the lake. Room was spacious and clean. Food was excellent in the bistro and breakfast. One of the best cooked to order full English ever. Food Service was first rate. Lobby area and external of the building needed some TLC… the reception staff could been more friendly more like the bistro, breakfast and cleaning staff. Small last comment but first impressions count.
Did not know that the hotel did not have a lift. Had heavy suitcase to negotiate to the top floor (room32) and as my recent back operation was still healing I requested a ground floor room. The staff fully understood and moved me to room7 on the first floor. The view from room 7 was disgusting as green slime covered the wall about 5 feet from the window. When this dries it will give off spores and thus prevented me from opening the window. The staff were great
Incredible as always. Brilliant hideaway from the noise of the world
Outstanding stay. Lovely property and people. Such a delightful place- perfect for a respite or for setting off for an adventure. We’ll be back. We loved our room! #35 if you are lucky!
Worst hotel ever
Good
.
Another fabulous stay at Storrs Hall! With lawns sweeping down to the lake on two sides of the hotel, wonderful food, service and exceptional staff, this place is a little slice of heaven. Our stays here have always been so very relaxing and enjoyable - long may they continue. Thank you to all at Storrs Hall.
Characterful building , comfortable imaginatively decorated bedrooms some with fabulous lake views . Quiet peaceful location located directly on Lake Windermere .Extremely friendly helpful staff . Excellent food with choice of venues . Thoroughly enjoyable stay and intend staying again .
We had a lovely stay. The hotel is beautiful and so are the surroundings!
Good location, great service and helpful staff. Although it was a very short break, we were impressed by the overall experience.
Great staff, food and location. The room we have was a good size, well presented and overall a lovely experience.
This was our second visit to this truly splendid hotel and everything was wonderful.The location is perfect with beautiful views of the lake.All staff are friendly and helpful and both restaurants serve excellent food albeit with a different ambiance. The only problem is that it spoils you for staying anywhere else !!
Beautiful hotel, lake view room, with the all important AIR conditioning option. It didn’t cool as much as we would like for a wife that gets hot flashes & being used to keeping your body cool at night for best sleeps (we Americans love our AC.) had to open small upper corner windows at night, but they are behind closed blinds for privacy and difficult to get the cold air into the room. Beds were a little worn out but overall slept good. Staff was amazingly nice, gave advice on sights to see, and very accommodating at breakfast and front desk. Large tub was awesome. Room was very quiet.
Amazing hotel, fantastic location, but the staff make it such a wonderful experience. Our first visit but definitely not our last
A Beautiful hotel in an amazing setting . Friendly staff who really make you feel welcome . Food was amazing !! Will definitely be returning.
The stay was present and the dining was exceptional with excellent choice of food on the menu. Truly amazing place for our short break. Thank you.
Beautiful building, staff couldn’t have been nicer or more helpful and the breakfast was amazing - a very special weekend.
Lovely weekend away! We have been to this hotel a few times over the years and it’s always the same. We had dinner in the new Bistro such a great addition to the hotel. Relaxed atmosphere. Thanks for a great stay as always!
Storrs Hall is such a wonderful place to stay. Everything is just wonderful. The amazing caring Staff who can't do enough for you, the absolutely excellent food, the warm comfortable rooms with all their amenities, the views of the Lake, the surrounding walk. I could go on and on. It's expensive but so well worth the money.
Just a great hotel in a lovely location. Staff were attentive and friendly. Loved our stay.
Stayed with friends for a big birthday and cannot fault it. We were looked after like kings. We will be back and can highly recommend it, very special place
Truly amazing weekend away in the lakes. Was a surprise from my partner and I definitely made the right choice & we are already planning our return. One thing I cannot express enough is how amazing the staff were. All were so helpful, so friendly, and couldn’t do enough for you. They truly made the stay for us.
Stayed for 2 nights couldn’t fault it, rooms great and spacious, staff at breakfast very friendly and good choice of food , cereal, pastries, grounds of the hotel well kept and nice for a walk
We had an amazing two night stay at Storrs Hall. We couldn't fault anything at all. Food was to die for and all the staff were so eager and happy to help. Our room was lovely and the bed was very comfortable. The grounds around the hotel were just beautiful to walk around and the view of the Lake was the icing on the cake. We will definitely return in the very near future.
Great stay Great staff Lovely Hotel David Julie
Staff were amazing
A great place that I enjoyed many times. A bit pricey on rooms price but if you want an amazing view of the most serene picturesque landscape in Windermere it is worth it.
An excellent hotel in superb surroundings. You receive quality but it is not cheap
Amazing stay at this beautiful hotel. Location is stunning, room was perfect with everything we needed. Staff all friendly and helpful. Couldn’t have asked for more.
Excellent hotel, brilliant staff and wonderful surroundings
We have stayed here several times and always get a nice welcome. The staff remember us too which is a nice touch in the restaurant and bar for example. Great service and good food choice in the restaurant. Lovely view over the lake
Storrs Hall is a delight to visit. It was our second visit and everything was just as perfect as last time. We were given the same room. It's luxurious, functional and exceptionally clean. The bed is so comfortable and the bathroom amazing. We hope to return. The staff are so accommodating, nothing is too much trouble. Cocktails although expensive are delicious 😋
Fantastic location set in beautiful grounds. Staff were all very helpful and friendly and the food was to die for. 100% we would return
Beautiful building and location. Visit made by excellent staff
This is an expensive hotel and worth every penny. A very pleasant place to relax in beautiful surroundings. A wonderful building that retains all of the charm of it's period. The room was nicely decorated with a very modern bathroom plus (in our room) a bath arranged so that you could look out across the grounds to the lake whilst bathing. Nice. A good restaurant, a cosy bar, a quiet study and a comfortable drawing room and well tended gardens complete the picture.
Fantastic location & accommodation. Every member of staff we encountered had a smile & always had time to chat. The food was excellent & a good variety of choice. Not within walking distance of alternative places to eat but we were there for 4 days celebrating our 49th wedding anniversary so were happy to spoil ourselves & have a special meal every evening!
Loved the view during breakfast.
Lovely hotel in a beautiful location. fabulous food, exceptional staff.
Exceeded my expectations. Really great. Clean, lovely rooms, great location and the staff were so friendly and great. Will definitely be back
Super clean, modern bathroom, great food and bar. Highly recommend this hotel!!!
This is are second stay in the hotel and it was absolutely fantastic and the staff were very friendly and helpful .
Lovely place and great location. Food and service was excellent.
This hotel is certainly 5star standard. The attention to detail, location, building, history and staff make this place. We can't wait to return and try the restaurant!
Great service and surrounding by the lake. Must take lake view room
this is a stunning hotel in a stunning location. We couldn't fault anything about it the room was great the staff were fantastic and the food was excellent.
Fantastic stay, so comfortable and relaxing. All members of staff were so helpful and friendly. Well worth a visit. Thank you for making our stay so wonderful. We will be back.
The hotel never disappoints and the staff are always efficient and extremely friendly and accommodating
It was amazing the views and location. It was are 12th year anniversary and to celebrate it there was just beautiful. We have been going for a few years now. My wife loved it and enjoyed it so much she " she has never been so relaxed as she was that weekend. And the staff were so welcoming and friendly. We will be back again. Thank you for a great weekend.
Really enjoyed the comfort and friendly, helpful staff. There was a slight smell of drains on entry to our room.
I stayed in this fantastic manor house for Autumn's weekend away with my partner. Storr Hall has incredible views of Windermere lake and offers many walks around. You will experience an excellent breakfast, very comfy rooms and enjoy a cosy drawing room with a wood fireplace and a beautiful and comfortable bar with a good selection of drinks. The perfect starting place for walks around Lakes. The only weak point is wifi coverage through the building is not great... enjoy your time offline!
We have stayed in this hotel before and were not disappointed with our stay. Unfortunately, no lift for me, but they gave us a room near the stairs which was lovely. Staff were very accommodating and the service from the bar staff (James) was far and beyond. Also, one waitress who went beyond for us was Jasmine, her attitude to the job was superb and her manner was great. She was very willing to talk and help whenever possible. Between the 2 of them they helped make our stay. One member of staff that we found quite gruff was the foreign short haired waitress in the dining room. She came across quite abrupt and was not very pleasant at times when asked questions. I got bad vibes from her. Other than the fact that it rained all week, it did not spoil our stay and we will be back.
Staff were brilliant, extremely friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely be going back in the spring.
This is an old style hotel with model amenities and smashing staff highly recommend trying
Beautiful hotel in a fantastic position on the lakeside. Attentive staff throughout especially in the restaurant where we had a memorable dinner overlooking the gardens down to lake Windermere. The room was spacious and nicely decorated with a quality en-suite. I would highly recommend this hotel you won’t be disappointed.
Beautiful weekend. Everything was perfect even the weather.
Superior luxury in a world class location, super friendly staff, beautiful beds/bedding. Wonderful room.
Spectacular setting. Wonderful staff. Great Food.
Initially we had a lakeside view room...fantastic room.then we were put in room 27...!!! which is exactly over the kitchen delivery area...at 6am you get lorries unloading veg & kitchen supplies....not nice at all.KEEP AWAY FROM Rm 27...!!! Otherwise service and food was excellent
Beautiful, picturesque location and staff are very friendly and helpful. Big shout out to Jasmin and Ben. A great asset to this hotel. However, the main hotel rooms are dated although the bedroom is large and our bathroom was lovely and modern with separate shower and bath. This hotel is also very clean. The food was nice (very good breakfast). We booked for one evening meal and found the portions to be small. We still felt hungry afterwards. In my opinion it was expensive for what it was and they appear to be presenting the food as nouvelle cuisine style, but it lacks the intense flavours of that type of tasting food. We were disappointed that there was no spa facilities for the price we paid, especially in comparison to other lake district hotels that do have spa facilities. However, we did enjoy our short stay there, but would maybe return in future if the hotel is modernised and included spa facilities.
We had a wonderful stay. There are beautiful grounds, the evening meal and breakfast were excellent. The staff were also great. The only negative was I didn’t like the decor in our newly decorated suite. Obviously expensively done but the fabrics and wallpaper were unattractive. A real shame.
A lovely hotel in a beautiful setting. Friendly welcome and the room overlooking the lane was fantastic and comfortable, wonderful bathroom. Ate in the restaurant on the first night, nice romantic table for 2 in the conservatory which was tucked away and beautiful views over the lake. Breakfasts were excellent and service throughout our stay was friendly and helpful
Outstanding hotel for location, service, food and everything really.
Been visiting Lake District for over 30 years. Most professional and friendly ever. Felt at home. Location, food choice brilliant. Food service outstanding. OK as get older a lift might be needed.
Beautiful building and a lot of thought has gone into the interior design . Stylish country house hotel ambience , modern facilities .
So peaceful and stunning view of the lake. Staff friendly and helpful.
Delightful stay at this wonderful hotel. Beautifully furnished and decorated in a stunning lakeside location. All staff very friendly, helpful and efficient.
Amazing hotel , location , room, dining all fabulous
In all aspects (staff, food, ambiance, cleanliness, comfort) very, very good. Not often you can say ‘ no complaints whatsoever’. A standard that every hotel should be looking to match or possibly exceed.
Amazing anniversary stay!!! Staff fabulous and couldn’t do enough for us. Setting, hotel and food wonderful, would definitely be returning.
