We recently stayed here for our belated honeymoon. The hotel was exceptional, food was some of the best we've tasted, the room was so comfortable and quiet, and the location, well it overlooks lake Windermere, it's gorgeous. By far the best thing was the staff, they are amazing, so professional but friendly & relaxed at the same time, in particular the Scottish bar manager. His knowledge of all the spirits in the bar was incredible. We will definitely come back, thank you for an amazing three nights.

I booked a room, evening meal and breakfast for my partner. She arrived before I did and met me in our room. From the moment I walked in until the moment I left the staff were the friendliest of any other place I've stayed. Our room was exceptional with a view over Lake Windermere. Food and the service was fantastic. We will definitely be booking further dates in the future.

I booked an afternoon tea for my partner and I to enjoy on our first weekend away together in the lakes. I struggled to find somewhere around Windemere but after some searching and comparing i came across Storrs hall. The photos and opinions of previous visitors sounded very reassuring and i booked us in for afternoon tea for two. They were actually running a festive edition of their afternoon tea which was absolutely brilliant. Well presented and a nice balance of everything, we couldn't finish it all either so we took a few remaining treats away with us. The whole team were very professional

Blow away by everything. 5* location, decor, service, food. The staff really went above and beyond. The suites overlooking the lake were stunning with underfloor heated bathroom, undercover hot tub overlooking woodland and the lake. Draw dropping views, every comfort you could need. We stayed in December and the Christmas decorations were beautiful, fires well tended for, music choice so relaxing. Highly recommended and we will be back.

Unique experience. The manor house was no doubt the standout aspect. "Old school" everything. Fine dining was especally good. If your looking for a modern hotel with modern features and furniture however, this is not for you.
