Fantastic, needs no more words.
For the the very beginning to the end, our stay at St Johns Lodge was amazing. We were welcomed in an extremely friendly way, with personal service from the very go. We had been given a free uograde to the supreme king room and what ablively room it is, clean, comfy bed, good sized tv and very nice bathroom. The bed was so comfy my wife fell asleep at 930pm( the walking and wine may also have contributed to this!!!) Breakfast was gorgeous, i had full english and the wife bacon, eggs and has browns, all washed down with as much fruit juice or tea and coffee as you wanted. There was also a cold buffet of fruit, cereals and yogurts. This place is perfect for a nice walk up to Windermere or a stroll down to Bowness and all the restaurants, pubs and activitelies. All in all a fantastic stay and will defo book here again.

Lovely stay - would return
This little B&B in Windermere has standards of comfort and service which could rival a 5* international hotel. Before we arrived I received a call from Rich to confirm our arrival time. The room was clean, comfortable and appointed to a very high standard. The Breakfast selection was second to none, with lots of freshly cooked options - and all dietary requirements catered for. I would have no hesitation in recommending this B&B for an upmarket stay. It is within easy walking distance of Windermere centre with dining and transport options. I used the off-site health club which was about a 5 minute drive away.

Overall, we were very pleased with our 2-night stay. Excellent location. We mostly walked to sites that were nearby. The room was comfortable and clean and we slept well. There is parking onsite as well as down the road--this was somewhat stressful when we first arrived, as it was quite difficult to get into the one remaining space on site--it requires some maneuvering and the location is right by a low-visibility bend in the road with cars zipping by and lots of pedestrians as well. Would not have been an issue with one of the other two spots, however; we did not try the other parking down the road, but that would not have been very convenient given we had a lot of luggage. One minor complaint: there is a lit sign that appeared to be on all night and brought some ambient light into our room (which was close to the sign); I didn't complain about it, but the owners might consider turning the sign light off at night (at least late in the night). The owners were friendly and responsive and did a load of laundry for us at a very reasonable rate. Where this place really shines is the breakfast: they have many options and really go above and beyond. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.
