The At Storrs Hall - South Lakeland

We visited Storrs Hall for my birthday and stayed for a couple of nights. The restaurant served excellent food, the room was very pleasant, the grounds were peaceful to walk around, and the staff were very welcoming. We will definitely visit again in the future.

We started our evening with drinks in the beautifully situated gazebo with a view of the lake. We then moved into the restaurant where we were greeted by friendly and efficient staff who seated us at a table overlooking the lake. All four of us in our group were impressed with the excellent service and the high quality of all the starters, mains, and desserts. We felt like the restaurant staff was very skilled and competent. The only small drawback was that the portion size of the lamb main dish was a bit small, although it was still very good.

We were delighted to end our last day in the lakes with afternoon tea at Storrs. As soon as we walked into the hotel, we were greeted by friendly and smiling staff. The sunny weather made our experience even better as we enjoyed a delicious afternoon tea overlooking the garden area. Everything was perfect and we couldn't find fault with anything. It was truly lovely and we will definitely be returning for dinner next time.

We booked dinner to celebrate our friends anniversary and were not disappointed . The three course dinner was excellent. The food was beautifully presented, expertly cooked and delicious. The cheese platter was thoughtfully put together with tasting notes and with the mildest cheese first and the strongest last so as not to distort the palate. Sarah the front of house manager was friendly , professional and extremely knowledgeable. She knew her products and was able to recommend beer based on our husbands tastes and was happy to explain how the delicious whipped butter is made which is served with the bread rolls. All the staff were extremely friendly, helpful and professional. We were lucky enough to be able to moor up on the hotels jetty and were able to enjoy breakfast in the hotel to celebrate our friends birthday the following day. Again the food was excellent and everyone went out of their way to make our friends birthday special. Thank you Andy (General Manager) and Sarah,looking forward to returning soon.

It started off really well: they were very friendly and flexible at the reception. We could sit wherever we wanted and order from whatever menu we wanted (bar or restaurant). But then it got weird. Only after quite some time we were asked what we wanted to eat. Well, actually we wanted to drink something so we ordered a glass of prosecco. About 2 minutes after we got our drinks the starters also came to the table. Not what one would expect from a high end restaurant. The starters were ok. There were about 7 people in service for 6 tables including ours, but still it seemed impossible to get anybody 's attention to order more drinks. When our mains arrived we asked for a glass of wine. I couldn 't eat slower if I tried but I just didn 't manage to not finish my mediocre main before the wine made it to the table (15 minutes). We decided to have a drink in the bar to wash down this weird experience. But guess what. Although the bar was close to empty, nobody seemed to notice us and nobody asked us what we needed. I guess we must be invisible
