With a position to die for right on the shores of Lake Windermere, Storrs Hall is like no other hotel in the area – a family owned and run country house that combines low-key intimacy with every contemporary comfort you could wish for. Situated in a beautiful Grade II-listed Georgian mansion, it has 35 rather special guest rooms, some of which are dog-friendly, a cosy bar and excellent restaurant and 17 partially wooded acres of lakeside grounds. It’s also just a five-minute drive from the tourist honeypot of Bowness-on-Windermere. Little wonder that it was featured as one of The Times’ Top 80 British Hotels a few years back.
The 28 rooms in the hotel’s main house range from cosy Classic rooms through to Superior and larger Deluxe rooms that come with or without lake views. Individually designed with a contemporary country feel, they’re furnished with king-size beds, tea-and coffee-making facilities, good wifi and recently fitted bathrooms. The main difference between the different categories – and rates – is mainly in the size of the rooms and bathrooms and whether they have a view of the lake. In addition there are six very contemporary (adults-only) glass-walled lakeside suites and a unique converted Boathouse for two, complete with lake-facing terrace, fire pit and hot tub.
The Lakeside suites are inspired by the classic Georgian style of the main house and the natural environment they nestle in, and they have incredible views of the lake. They’re somewhat Japanese in feel, open plan and spacious, with super-king-size beds, chaise-longues, free-standing baths, separate walk-in showers, Smart TVs and a private terrace with a Japanese cedar hot tub. To top off this luxury lakeside experience, you’re welcomed on arrival with complimentary wine and beer, jelly beans and biscuits, and the fridge will be replenished throughout your stay. It’s catered accommodation, so there is the option of a room service breakfast hamper, or you have short access to the main hotel facilities. Whether you laze on the terrace with a book, utilise the space for some forest bathing therapy crossed with yoga, or enjoy a hot coffee after a dip in the lake, they work a welcoming magic. There’s nothing else quite like them.
Service throughout the hotel is terrific, and the hotel has a properly enticing bar, the Tower Bar, so named for its ornate wooden bar which came from Blackpool Tower. They serve a menu of staples and classics between noon and 9pm while a more formal restaurant with gorgeous views of the lake serves a refined and locally sourced menu each evening and on Sunday lunchtime. They’ll also sort you out a packed lunch or picnic if you’re taking off for the day on a hike; for the less energetic, afternoon tea is served every day from 12.30pm to 4.30pm.
