 Latest Review :   "Having stayed here before we wanted somewhere special for my 60th birthday, and we were not to be disappointed. We could not fault anything about this amazing hotel. Hosts Caroline and Jonathan make you feel so very welcome, and nothing is too much trouble. We will most certainly be booking another return visit in the future. Set in in its own beautiful grounds which are immaculately maintained, it is so peaceful and quiet, although it’s only a short walk to the centre of Windermere."

 

 

Storrs Hall
Lakeside Hotel

 

Storrs Hall is a beautiful Lake District AA 4 Star hotel; a striking Grade II* listed Georgian Mansion house set right on the shoreline of Lake Windermere. It is unique in the Lake District. We have 36 bedrooms, 29 of which in the main house retain their original architecture so every room is different – a benefit of which is that we can accommodate families in larger rooms, or a combination of adjoining rooms. Due to the Grade II* listing we do not have a lift, but we are happy to help with your luggage.

 

 More Information :   "We have 2 dining options, the restaurant facing south over the lake, is where we serve breakfast and dinner. Head Chef Andy concentrates on cooking great, local and sustainably produced food. The Tower Bar is our cosy Public Bar, with a menu of classic pub food favourites, all cooked fresh in house and available from lunchtime. The bar menu and Afternoon Tea are also served on our beautiful lake view terrace on the south lawns, weather permitting. Afternoon tea is served in the restaurant."

 Latest Review :   "We have just returned from a fabulous couple of days at this amazing hotel. The staff are all excellent and take the time to make sure you are happy with everything , a special thank you to Marcus. The food in both the main resturant and the Tower bar is outstanding, as is the amazing breakfast which is served rather than help your self. We can highly recommend Storrs Hall hotel for that extra bit of luxury we can't wait to return."

 Latest Review :   "We have just returned from a 3 night stay at Hillthwaite Hotel. We stayed in Room 210 (Langdale) and our friends stayed in Room 15. We had an amazing time. The hotel is a little tricky to find so keep your eyes peeled for the driveway off Thornbarrow Road (although it is signposted). There were enough parking bays at the hotel, but the area is a little small, making it a bit tricky to manoeuvre in some spots. We were welcomed upon arrival and we had a cream tea prior to checking in (which we had prebooked)."

Absolutely lovely meal

We came across this pub on a drive the other day and decided to book in for lunch. Really cosy style pub with lovely log fires, different seating areas and a large car park. There are amazing views from the back of the pub. Extensive menu with something for everyone and the prices are decent also far too many pubs these days yet to make their menus posh and fancy but this one is great home cooked food and lots of choice.

Great place and superb location

Popped in for lunch. Warm welcome from the landlord and staff. Meal was freshly prepared and thoroughly enjoyable. We had a table overlooking the peninsula which was picture postcard. Very good prices.

Great Hospitality

Pulled up outside the and as soon as my friend, Claire,, unloaded my wheelchair 2 customers who were drinking outside nipped in the pub and came out with a ramp for me to enter, Nice friendly landlord and staff and a choice of 10 real ales, heaven on earth. There is also a roomy and well laid out disabled toilet with facilities for washing and changing babies. All this and the best yet to come, 4 hours of stunning Irish traditional music, some great songs and singing and great craic.

Never disappoints!!

Went for lunch again this week with my friend. She had the small Fish and chips which as usual was such good value and absolutely delicious and I decided on the Mushroom and tarragon Rissotto and it was one of the best Rissotto's I've ever tasted!! It was absolutely delicious. All staff very pleasant and always smiling. This has to be the best place for lunch in Cardiff without a doubt.

A lovely stay

Just back from a one night stay in this Pub with rooms and thoroughly enjoyed it. We stayed in The Barn conversion just up the road which was spacious, cosy and well appointed. Dinner was very good, as was the service. Breakfast was top quality and the lunch we had after a long walk up Malham Cove was also very good. Just a couple of words of advice. This venue is very dog friendly.

A wonderful experience!

Lovely warm welcome, lovely table with plenty of space and we noticed imm all tables were well spaced. Great specials menu plus a special sandwich menu for those who fancied a light lunch. Main menu was very impressive and finally we both went for the twice baked cheese soufflé. Divine. Then I went for the Hake Kiev which was delicious and something I’d never had before. My wife had the fish pie which she loved both very tasty and great value. Washed down with a few glasses of Rose.

A great trip

Exactly what we needed. The pub also does some sensational non traditional dishes. They where so lovely when I popped a party canon they laughed and joined our celebrations. The owner of the pub was so kind and gave us a donation towards our charity RASA whom we where doing the hike for. Would recommend and go back! Thanks so much, have a great rest of the year everyone.

Great village pub.

I’d heard very good things about the new management.The service was friendly, the food was absolutely brilliant. Good wholesome pub food. I had the steak pie which was lovely, with a lovely rich gravy. All plates cleared. We will definitely return, I think if this is the standard, the other pubs in the area should be worried. Thanks again. We will definitely return.
