We had an amazing stay at St Johns Lodge. Great value for money! Rooms very comfortable with loads of lovely details tea/coffee/hot choc/toiletries/hairdryer etc. Towels changed for us during our stay and the bed made/tea and coffee replaced. Breakfast was truly incredible - so so much choice (3 pages) - both hot and cold options. Walkable to town/restaurants/bars etc. in Windermere. Lots of free parking available (3 spaces outside, 3-4 across the road and more street parking round the corner) Rich was lovely and welcoming, recommended loads of activities for us. Free/unlimited access to spa/leisure centre off site via access code - very good facilities for a leisure centre. Big jacuzzi/steam room/sauna and medium sized pool. Very quiet in the day, slightly busier in the evenings we found.

Rich kindly offers free padlocks to borrow for the leisure centre (remember to take this as its 2.50 to rent from the leisure centre otherwise)

It was super clean the most relaxing place ever great atmosphere and fantastic facilities the hosts were so welcoming and the breakfast was delicious also ideally situated we would definitely stay again.

Nothing

The breakfasts were excellent with the widest choice of food I have ever experienced. They were well worth the Award they had received. There was an abundance of fresh fruit which was very much appreciated in the cold month of January. The staff and host were very friendly, obliging and the service was prompt. The Guest House including the bedrooms were spotless. The communal for guests on the ground floor was an added extra which was also appreciated. The location was ideal for walking and travelling by car to see everything the Lake District has to offer.The location of the Guest House itself was very central with easy access to Windermere and Bowness.

The size of the bedrooms, although well-appointed, was a little disappointing particularly when our room and that of our family were described as "superior". "

The location was very handy being right between Windermere village and Bowness.We both had the full English breakfast on the first morning which was delicious and different breakfasts on the second morning which were just as good and there was plenty of it! A big well done to whoever was responsible for the room decor-that purple chesterfield is the sofa of my dreams!! The bed was enormous and very comfortable,best nights sleep I’ve had in ages-even the gang of noisy lads in the hot tub outside didn’t keep us awake!

It would have been nice if there’d been a bath as we don’t have one at home but not a major issue.

Pros: Property is quite nice. We had a large room. Rich is an amazing host. Excellent breakfast options. Amazing central location and small back garden. Access to health club is a nice touch. Beautiful location and amazing views and hikes Close by. Rich ad. Ada are amazing hosts and guides to rhe region. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Recommended for sure. Good cancellation policy. Cons: Health club is a nice touch but it's a 10 Min drive so you maynot end up using it much. Happened to me but I enjoyed my hikes instead. Pricing is a bit higher than similar opns, but given it's rating, breakfast and health club access kind of justified if you use the health club facilities.

Nothing specific but some cons mentioned above.

10-15 minutes walk to Windermere and Bowness-on Windermere. Plenty of bars and restaurants at walking distance. Rooms are comfortable and clean. Great WiFi. Fridge in your room. Leisure club available but off site. Towels and locks are provided by the lodge owner. Breakfast was an absolute feast.

Sauna, gym off site- you need to pay for parking, either with cash or using and (yet another) parking app. No under 16s allowed in the gym or sauna.

St John’s Lodge offers a perfect stay for couples in the heart of Windermere. Our host Rich was incredibly welcoming and hospitable. He actually welcomed us in at very short notice as we were caught up in the snow that happened at the start of December and meant we were unable to reach our intended destination - so we made a quick booking of two nights in St John’s Lodge! We ended up having a great time! The location is perfect for Windermere and Bowness. The breakfast is the best I have ever had at a B&B, and even better than most cafes I’ve been to (all included in the price!). There is a full 3-4 page menu to pick a hot breakfast from and it’s made with quality ingredients, alongside cold, continental style breakfast items! The effort and love that goes into the minor details at this place is evident and makes all the difference. I had a great, restful night sleep both nights. The bed was extremely comfy and the room was cosy and clean. Despite the B&B being full during our stay there was no noise or disturbance ever! Would recommend to anyone!

There was nothing I didn’t like, nor would I change a thing!

Fantastic breakfast and very tasty. The room was comfortable and clean. The room is set up like a honey moon suite. It was a perfect retreat for relaxation and enjoying the natural beauty of the area. The hotel is at a great location to and from the train station and walkable to Lake District National Park.

I felt a sense of a rush to eat my breakfast as the room is not too big and other guests will be having their breakfast too.

Richard is a lovely host. Very helpful & informative. Very good breakfast, nice room, compact but functional with nice on-suite. All very clean. Parking just outside the hotel was also very convenient.

You do get a little Road noise at the front of the property, and the room was a little bit on the small side, so we struggled with space for two small suitcases. But these were minor issues.

The breakfasts were exceptional. The warm and personable welcome from Rich and Ada made us feel right at home. A lot of attention to detail, e.g. fridge and safe in room, laundry services, garden area, shared lounge, and amazing breakfasts! Although we didn't get chance to make use of the off-site leisure club, it was good to know it was available. Immaculately clean! Oh, and did we mention the fantastic breakfasts! Highly recommended

Limited parking on-site, but additional parking across the road. we were able to park in one or other location for our whole stay. Nothing else, to say. All was fantastic
