The property is situated in a enviable and private position with great views of windermere, and is within walking distance of Bo'ness. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the house was well equipped and comfortable. Maybe a welcome pack would have been nice.

Matthew

What a fantastic house and location. We loved our stay. Thank you.

Excellent location lovely large house however lacked comfort with sofas some beds and dining room chairs. Limited central heating made house cold at times.

George

This lodge is superb! ! The location quality of furniture bedding fixtures and fittings are all 1st class. The home was well heated and the kitchen had everything you could think of . Outdoor space is perfect . We had it for a family get together and were fortunate to meet the owner Joy a delightful lady of great character who ensured we had everything at our fingertips. Thanks !! If your planning an away break look no further ,Sykes are wise to have this classy listing theres 3 bedrooms all with their own private bathrooms absolutely excellent the whole area is beautiful go for it you wont be disappointed on the contrary you'll be thrilled!! Would highly recommend booking with Sykes we thought it would be good but exceeded all our expectations!! Fabulous!!!

Steffan

Would definitely recommend and come back again. The only negativity, in the true spirit of any feedback, is the slight overgrowth to the top left of the garden would be a nice spot to sit for a coffee. But we really enjoyed the summer house, size of the house and elevated position above the lake.

Amanda

Had a fabulous week away for Xmas with my parents, daughters and their partners. The views are amazing and we really didnt want to leave. Couldnt ask for a better location, the house was also decorated lovely for Xmas too.

Kimberley

We booked our stay from the Friday but due to work commitments we only arrived on the Saturday teatime, the lodge is in a great location with beautiful views especially from the bedroom balcony as you can see the lake and within the walking distance to bowness, however upon entering the lodge, it has a rather strange smell, the lodge inside could do with a good clean and freshen up, there are cobwebs and spiders in every room, the bedrooms are cluttered with ornaments and artificial flowers which is just overwhelming. There is an overwhelming amount of furniture in all of the rooms including the bedrooms and the main bedroom has a very strong smell which is rather unpleasant. I didnt particularly enjoy staying in the lodge as it just didnt feel clean. The kitchen is full of dinnerware and utensils, far too many if Im honest. We visit the lakes each year but as we were with family we decided to have a change and came across Storrs Lodge, unfortunately I couldnt wait to leave and we actually checked out a day earlier. Personally I wouldnt stay at Storrs Lodge again, which is a shame as the exterior is pretty.

Great property for 7 of us across three generations plus one pooch. The property was spacious and really comfortable with good parking for our three cars and for us was an excellent location with a 15 minute walk to the marina and a further 15 to 20 minutes into Bowness. The views are great and luckily the forecast rain didn't arrive so we able to sit out in the sun trap patio at the front of the house. Immediate area is quiet and peaceful car is essential. Just a couple of comments which are in the spirit of making the experience at Storrs even better. Towels a bit thin and small and not enough bath towels for all of us. General waste is collected every other week and outside bin was full when we arrived it would be good to have a collection dates listed in the property information. It would also be good to have a sketch of the garden that belongs to the property as we were unsure whether the lawned area behind the property's fenced rear garden could be used. These are not complaints but meant to be helpful. Overall a really great stay.

Colin William

The property was first class in a beautiful location with magnificent views. We were disappointed by lack of basic toiletries, only one main towel in each room for two people, very little toilet paper and soap. The only thing that we were unhappy about was we felt the owner was checking up on our family. She arrived just as we were moving in and used the excuse she needed to water a couple of plants which were in the garden although the gardener was there when we arrived.She was also there with a Gardener and the cleaner about 15 mins before the leaving time whilst we were packing our cars to leave the property.. It felt we were being inspected.

Joanne

Great location clean,well equipped, beautiful views lovely house. Highly recommended.
