St John's Lodge is an ideal place for your stay in the Lakes. My partner and I stayed for 2 nights. We chose this accommodation for its range of vegan breakfasts, the complementary use of a local leisure club (pool, sauna etc) and free Wi-Fi access. As it turns out the weather was great so we did plenty of outdoor... more

On arrival, we were shown to a room which had a strong, unpleasant smell of fresh paint. The manager insisted that the smell came from the new carpet, but after a short investigation (another conversation with other staff in the manager's office) it turned out that the room had indeed been repainted 2-3 days before (both the doors - with... more

Thank you for letting our future guests know that St John’s Lodge is freshly decorated and re-carpeted throughout. I make no apologies for providing my customers with spotlessly clean newly refurbished rooms. Regarding this guests concerns over his personal health due to the supposed inhalation of toxic fumes, I have contacted ICI paints and they have assured me that Dulux...

this MUST be the best small hotel in the lake district I've stayed there many times and would not consider moving anywhere else when on holiday in the lake district Very friendly service top quality rooms, well appointed and exceptional breakfasts great situation, easy walking into both windermere and bowness very underpriced for the quality of residence and food YOu... more

Thanks for your informative review. I think this is the sort of information potential guest require. As you have pointed out we are ideally situated midway between the villages of Windermere and Bowness (about 10 minutes walk). The lake, boats etc are accessed in Bowness Bay whereas the train/bus station is located in Windermere. We always try to offer good...

My husband and I recently enjoyed a weekend at St John's Lodge. We found the room to be spotlessly clean and very comfortable although the shower room was a little small. The breakfast menu was so fabulous that we will have to go back to try the other choices. more

We actually offer four grades of room: Premium, Standard plus, standard and economy. We try to appeal to all budgets. I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay and in particular the breakfasts. I look forward to...

Thank you for your comments. The villages of Windermere and Bowness are indeed full of character. Bowness is probably the busier of the two with more restaurants, tearooms and shops. You can also hire boats or take an organised boat tour from Bowness Bay. Fortunately St John’s Lodge is ideally situated about ten minutes walk from either village so we...

This is a lovely hotel and when we got there Sue was very friendly and welcoming. We were a little wary of a few things because of some of the bad comments on this site but these people must be so uptight and picky. The room we stayed in (twin) was just the right size for a short stay, they... more

The room was clean and tidy. The breakfast was fantastic, lots and lots of choice. The location is very good for Bowness, 5-10 min walk to the lake and the restaurants. Its also a short 5-10 minute walk to Windermere. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again if up that way. more
