Stayed for two nights, the room was small but spotless and newly decorated. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Parking is restricted but you can park opposite in a defunct bus stop. Breakfasts are exceptional, I ordered smoked salmon on a potato cake with poached eggs, it was beautiful. Not really any good if you have trouble walking as there are... More

St John's Lodge is a great place to stay and in a really good location, between Bowness and Windermere, so very convenient. The Lodge itself was lovely, the room we stayed in was a really nice size, with a gorgeous bathroom, I wanted to bring the bed home with me it was so comfortable. The breakfast was lovely, and there... More

A very warm welcome from Sue on our arrival, Room#1 small but comfortable, only 1 chair otherwise you could not fault anything. Barry was friendly and made you feel at ease, his BREAKFASTS are SUPERB, as a Coeliac, it was VERY reassuring that what you ordered you knew was Gluten Free, all the cereals, nuts, fruits etc were clearly identified....

We have just returned home after a lovely break in the Lakes. St John's Lodge was fantastic. We received a friendly welcome, our room & ensuite bathroom were spacious and the bed very comfortable. The whole place was spotlessly clean and throughout our stay everyone was very friendly and helpful. We had free Wifi and a tv in the room.... More

I had a lovely long weekend in the beautiful Lake District and St John's Lodge Hotel was so nice and friendly it made it very special. The breakfasts are great, especially for a 'veggie' like me as there is so much choice which most hotels don't give you. The staff are also really friendly and helpful with suggestions of places...

I was visiting Windemere last month. My friend recommended St.John's Lodge. It couldn't be a better choice! It is a very pleasant and relaxing place. The room, as well as the rest of the lodge, was in an excellent condition with lovely decor. Bathroom was clean and fresh. Most importantly the bed was very comfortable. All you need after a... More

Have stayed at a few B & B's on Lake Road and this place is without doubt the best. Great service, lovely owners and staff, super clean bedroom and of course the legendary breakfasts. Considering this is a three star B & B it offers 5 star service at a very reasonable price. Location is perfect for walking to either... More

Sorry for the late review. We stayed in this lodge for two nights last month. The people were friendly and the service was good. However the room service wasn't good enough. The napkins run out the first day, they didn't fill it up the following day. We had to use the toilet roll instead. The shower is not too good.... More

This is a great bed and breakfast conveniently situated between Bowness-on-Windermere and Windermere village. The owner was friendly and considerate to our needs (she brought us home made vegan shortbread and soya milk with our tea and coffee). There is a wide breakfast range- much more choice than the average B&B. Good vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options (as well... More
