If there had been an option to give 10 start then we would have.
Everything about this lovely B&B was first class.
The staff were kind and helpful and the breakfast was the best we have ever had,
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The breakfast was absolutely delicious—fresh, tasty, and a wonderful way to start the day! The bedroom was also spotlessly clean, comfortable, and well looked after. We really enjoyed our stay and appreciated the excellent service.
Even the off-site swimming pool is worthy to go with a small amount taxi fee for a family. Highly recommended!
Absolute fantastic place to stay, highly recommended with nothing to dislike. Credit to Rich, Ada and the team, felt home from home and part of their family. Knowledgeably about places to visit, eating out, parking. Nothing was a problem and owners on hand regular if anything needed. Definitely will return. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
What wonderful hosts and fantastic B&B! Rich and team were super friendly, helpful and attentive hosts: nothing was too much trouble.
The house is tastefully decorated and immaculate throughout - you can see the care and attention that the owners have put into it! The location is great and parking is available.
The breakfast is fantastic, with a help yourself buffet of fresh fruit, yoghurt and cereals but also the choice of a range of lovely hot, freshly made dishes.
Highly recommended and we would very happily stay again!
Me and my partner stayed for 3 nights and it was amazing, the room was lovely and clean and the breakfast everyday was great. Ada looked after us and made our stay very relaxed and enjoyable. Perfect location, near 2 towns so lots of choices of restaurants, bars and walks! Would highly recommend :)
The location is great, halfway between Windermere railway station and Bowness pier. The room is very big, perfectly clean and comfortable. Even though we were on the ground floor, we had a very nice view of greenery. The bathroom is also very big and clean.
The owner is very nice and keen on making guests feel at home. We had excellent communication with him before and during our stay.
Perhaps the best thing about the hotel is the breakfast. There is a big array of options, everything is tasty, excellently cooked and comes in generous portions.
We had a great stay, everything went perfectly. We would gladly recommend the hotel.

Very welcoming and helpful. Very clean room and comfortable bed. Breakfast was excellent with lots of choice. Would recommend to family and friends.
We stayed at St John’s Lodge for 3 nights and had a lovely stop. The location is excellent as you’re in between Bowness & Windermere with plenty of options of evening meals and Rich is very knowledgeable to provide you with recommendations. The room was immaculate and the breakfast was, well… WOW! Incredible selection to choose from and incredibly delicious. I couldn’t recommend this hotel more. The off site spa and pool was brilliant too, we were lucky that we had the pool to ourselves the entire time we was there!
Great stay. Hosts very welcoming without being overbearing.
Great attention to detail in all respects. Well located for Windermere and Bowness whilst just a short distance from some excellent hill walking.
Really nice hotel positioned in the middle of Windermere and Bowness. Rooms were spacious and very comfortable. Breakfast was excellent, and Ada and Rich were always very helpful
