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 :)

Excellent selection of hot and cold dishes for breakfast.
Rooms clean, tidy and well stocked.
Staff very attentive
We had a fabulous stay -- the room was very comfortable, the included breakfast was amazing, and the staff could not be nicer or more accommodating. Highly recommend!
Fab stay at St John’s lodge and will definitely look to return. Room was clean and had everything we needed. Ada was very welcoming and helpful. The breakfast variety was fantastic and the quality of the food was very good too. Easy walk to either Windermere or Bowness too with lots of options for food and drink.
Great hotel room and the best breakfast ever. Highly recommend the place.

Our stay couldn’t have been better. Right from arrival, we felt relaxed and welcomed, which set the tone for the entire visit. The level of hospitality was outstanding — Rich truly made a difference and went out of his way to ensure everything was perfect.
The accommodation was impeccably clean and very well cared for; it’s obvious a lot of thought and pride goes into maintaining the space. We also really appreciated the breakfast option — the quality was excellent and a great way to start the day.
If you’re planning a trip to the Lake, this is without a doubt the place to stay. We’ll be returning here every time we’re in the area and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone.
Had a wonderful 3 night stay at the Saint Johns lodge
We had a small double room which was very nice
Very clean with nice decor
The breakfast is amazing with good quality local produce
Rich the owner is very helpful and nothing is too much bother
I would definitely recommend this hotel
Very comfortable room we stayed in,lovely breakfast and a big choice on the menu,staff and Richard the owner where very pleasant and helpful, would highly recommend st johns lodge. Xxxx
This was our 3rd stay at St John's Lodge and yet again it did not disappoint.
Great location, great room (which was upgraded when we arrived, a welcome surprise), great breakfast and amazing service from the Hosts Rich & Ada. Having free access to the Local health club and spa is another fantastic bonus, popping in after a hike to utilise the jacuzzi is great!
We couldn't ask for more from St John's Lodge, Rich and Ada are excellent hosts and couldn't do more for us. We hope to return again next year!
Thanks again!

This place is just brilliant and we stay here now every time we come to Windermere. I recommend here to all my friends and colleagues who look for places to stay. Location is perfect, staff are fantastic, and a peaceful night sleep on offer with beautiful breakfast. What more could you want?
Lovely accommodation and great breakfast but the best thing about St. John's Lodge has to be the owners. Very welcoming and attentive throughout our stay.
