The location of the b&b manages to combine peacefulness and tranquility whilst being a stones throw from the centre of Bowness. 3 of us stayed, in 2 rooms, both of which were beautifully furnished. The owners were very friendly and knowledgable about the area with good advice about local amenities and attractions. We will definitely be coming here again. Top... More

My partner and I stayed at The Storr Gate House for two nights in the Queen Anne Suite (Room 7). The location was very good, ignoring the junction, it's a 10 minute walk from the hustle and bustle which meant you could avoid tourist zones if you wanted to. Our room has lovely and big with a fantastic King sized... More
