Storrs Gate House

Hidden in Windermere / Bowness-on-Windermere, this 5-star, family-run bed and breakfast sits opposite Windermere Marina village and a short walk along the lake to Bowness. You're a 4-minute stroll from Lake Windermere and close to Bowness Pier, Blackwell (The Arts & Crafts House), the Windermere Ferry and the World of Beatrix Potter.

Just seven cozy guestrooms keep things quiet and personal. Rooms range from four-poster to king-size beds and include Select Comfort mattresses, flat-screen TVs and private bathrooms with hot power showers. Expect White Company or designer toiletries, daily housekeeping and neat lake or garden views — simple, stylish and intimate. Note: no pets and children under 12 are not accepted.

Wake up to lake-breeze mornings on the terrace or take a stroll through the garden. On-site highlights include complimentary Wi‑Fi, free resident/self parking and striking proximity to the marina and lakeside walks. Small-house service with standout touches rather than flashy extras.

Complimentary wireless internet is available throughout. The front desk is staffed during limited hours and free self-parking is provided onsite.

A complimentary full English breakfast is served daily (8:30–9:00), featuring local and home-made produce with Full English, vegetarian and vegan options. Rooms also include coffee and tea makers for a quiet cuppa anytime.
