This place is a real gem,set within easy walking distance of both Winderemere and Bowness both of which are full of character.St Johns Lodge is a clean and very comfortable base for the many varied attractions and pursuits that the lake district has to offer,couple this with the amazing choice that is offered for breakfast,every dietry need seems to be catered for and the portions means that nobody leaves hungry!Finally the friendliness of Barry,Sue and their staff ensure that a stay at St Johns is a real pleasure and one that my wife and I hope to repeat in the future

This was a lovely place. I chose it because of its friendliness towards vegetarian visitors and i wasn't disappointed. What a choice of breakfasts and at no extra cost !

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 were clean and comfortable. Now the bathrooms are small, but they are just fine, my mother and I are quite big women and we had no problems so if those shower rooms were too small for you then you need to think about going on a diet, not going holiday.
The breakfasts were lovely and plenty big enough, we skipped lunch every day because we were full. There was a lot of choice and they were very tasty. The dining room is perhaps a little small as some people had to sit with other guests and sometimes they didnt seem to happy about it. The B+B is 10 mins slow walk down to bowness where the lake is, and about 10 mins up to windermere, we found a lot more choice of restaurants in Bowness, and we had some really lovely meals. Overall we had a lovely stay here and would come back again if ever in the area.

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.
