What guests are saying
Beautiful house and gardens, very tidy, good facilities, highly recommend this property
Storrs lodge is a beautiful property in a perfect elevated location with lake views.
It is walking distance to the marina and lake. We had a great week in this property, its a great size and accommodates 8 people easily. Plenty of parking, we had 4 cars there with no problems. The outdoor sitting area was a great added bonus because the weather was glorious all week but we really could have done with a parasol as some days it was to hot to be sat out in the sun. There was a stand but we couldn't find a parasol. The down side of the property, It wasn't as clean as we would have liked. We had to wash all cookware, flatware and cutlery before we could use them. This may be the fault of previous guests who may not have cleaned them before putting them away but I feel this should be checked before next check in. There is a lovely big rage cooker but only one of the 2 ovens worked. This made cooking for a large group a challenge. The fridge wasn't working very well and was struggling to keep our food and drinks cool. If we changed the temp on it then the items at the back froze so couldn't really win with it. Also there was a shelf missing from the door where milk and bottles would usually go, so all these items had to be put on the main shelf limiting space in the fridge. Again when you have a large party that is a problem. There is a lovely big lounge with plenty of seating. Unfortunately the 2 big cream sofas are very uncomfortable and could really do with replacing. As we sat outside most evenings this didn't effect us too much. Some of the rooms are a bit cluttered and all the furniture is not required and could be removed for a more spacious feel. 2 of the bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms and the other 2 bedrooms share a bathroom so plenty for everyone. The garden is vast but very over grown and un passable in some areas. Our dog loved it but previous guests hadn't cleaned up after their animals so we had to spend a good 30 mins checking the grounds and cleaning up. The outside toilet was a nice surprise and a god send for my Dad who has some mobility issues. There is a security camera on the outside of the property that looks straight down on to the seating area. This did make us feel a little like we were being watched. Non of the above would prevent me from booking again but some improvements could be made.
The house is in a fantastic location, within an easy walk to Bowness on Windermere.
The Marina with a superb restaurant is at the bottom of the hil (5 mins). The House is well equipped and everything you would need is there. The configuration of the rooms worked perfectly for us the the little outside toilet was a real bonus, particularly on BBQ night. All in a fantastic stay in a lovely house with views over the lake that were amazing.
