Storrs Hall
A Grade II* listed Georgian mansion right on the shore of Lake Windermere, set in seventeen acres of private grounds with several licensed ceremony spots, including a lakeside folly.
Storrs Hall is one of the Lake District's most romantic houses, an AA four star hotel in an elegant Georgian mansion that sits directly on England's largest lake. Taken for exclusive use, the house and grounds become yours, which suits a couple who want an intimate, scenic celebration rather than a vast guest list.
What sets it apart is the choice of licensed ceremony spaces, from lake view rooms inside to a Victorian garden pavilion and the iconic lakeside Temple of the Heroes folly out in the grounds. The trade off is scale, since the house is sized for a warm gathering rather than a grand crowd, and the Lakeland weather asks for a sensible indoor plan.
Storrs Hall is a Grade II* listed Georgian mansion on the shore of Lake Windermere at Bowness, available for exclusive use weddings across seventeen acres of grounds. It holds up to around 80 guests for the ceremony and the wedding breakfast and up to 110 for an evening reception, with six licensed ceremony spaces. Exclusive use is indicatively from around 13,295 pounds in 2026, including accommodation, a three course wedding breakfast and a drinks package. Confirm the current rate, capacity and dates directly with the hotel.
A Georgian house, seventeen acres and a lakeside folly.
Style and setting
Storrs Hall is a Grade II* listed Georgian mansion set in seventeen acres of landscaped grounds that run to the edge of Lake Windermere. The house is elegant and historic, with lake views from its principal rooms, while the grounds hold a Victorian garden pavilion framed in ornate ironwork and the celebrated Temple of the Heroes, a lakeside folly that makes a memorable ceremony spot.
Capacity
The house suits an intimate to mid sized celebration, holding up to around 80 guests for the ceremony and the seated wedding breakfast and up to 110 for an evening reception.

Ceremony spaces
Six licensed spaces give real flexibility, from an elopement just for two to a full exclusive use celebration. Couples can marry inside in a lake view room, in the Victorian garden pavilion, at the Temple of the Heroes folly by the water or on the boathouse terrace, so the ceremony can be tailored to the day and the weather.
