Pamper yourself at Storrs Hall, you won’t regret it!
Pros:

The property is beautiful and in an amazing location. Room was very comfortable, there was even a TV on the wall opposite the bath. Great for a soak.
Food was beautiful never had a menu with starter and main for breakfast and to enjoy it in the conservatory was delightful.
Staff were all bright and cheerful and nothing was a trouble. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you

Cons:

Only that we didn’t stay longer

Pros:

It has a perfect location which you could directly enjoy the beautiful view of the lake. See from the window, that’s another amazing scene which could directly take you to the Spring even inside the room. We came here at a perfect moment which could fully enjoy the sunshine. But seasons are different, and so are the views. Do believe that every moment in Storrs has its own beautifulness.
Also, me and my husband had a special moment here which we will definitely remember it for life. We have been travelling around and recording our journey so far for the wedding. And at here, we just had the best video for the beginning of the another journey in our lifetime. We saw there were many couples stayed here who seemed to been together for ages. Maybe one day when we are in their ages, we will be here again to memorise the starting point of new journey.
Also many thanks for all the stuff, they are so kind and helpful to help us with our left stuff and the whole stay!!
After all, Bon voyage to who will come to this place in the future. Enjoy the time here!!

Elegant Serenity on Windermere
Pros:

Peaceful, elegant, authentic, the views from bedroom, seating in bedroom window, gorgeous breakfast area and an option of full vegan breakfast.

One of the few hotel stays where the reality beautifully met the expectations!

Cons:

Only dairy milk in room - a couple of oat sachets for non dairy guests would be a nice touch.

Probably not a good look for staff when they loudly talk across rooms regarding a clients dietary request....especially when said guest is in hearing distance.
