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)

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". "

We got a very friendly welcome and throughout the stay all the staff were friendly , efficient and helpful. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious. The whole place was spotless and although our room was described as small double it was still a good size.
The only issue we had was some light pollution from both the fridge and the bright digital clock, which made the room quite bright when trying to sleep at night.

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.

Ideal location, midway between local shops bars and restaurants 10-minute walk, and 12 - 15 minute walk down to the Lakeside. Rich and the team are very welcoming and eager to please , nothing seems to be too much trouble..Attention to detail is exceptional. The room is spacious, very clean, and comfortable. The mini fridge was really useful, and fresh milk was an added bonus. Breakfast was excellent. There was plenty of choice and cooked to perfection.

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.

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.

The location was brilliant bang in the middle of Windermere and Bowness. Managed to park outside the property for the full duration of our stay. The whole property was well kept and very clean. The choice for breakfast and the quality of the food was fantastic. Both Rich and Ada very friendly and approachable, nothing was too much bother.
Finding it very difficult to find any negatives

The location was between Bowness and Windermere so within easy walking distance. There was a lovely walk just across the road via a woodlands into town eventually. Breakfast was amazing, so many choices. Train station was nearby. I had a car and had parking most days (3 parking spaces in front) and nearby off road spaces available.
The weather but not their fault
