St John’s Lodge Windermere.
We stayed here for two nights. The room was clean and couldn’t be faulted. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choices. Rich and his team were very friendly and nothing was to much trouble. We would highly recommend staying here.

Great place to stay!
Lovely and clean, great location - a tiny bit loud noise from the road but this could’ve been because it was Halloween :)

Amazing!
My 8 year old daughter and I loved our stay at St John’s Lodge. Nothing was too much trouble. Our room was cosy and well maintained. The games in the guest lounge along with the honesty fridge were a great touch. The breakfast was amazing. Kept us going alll day. We will be back.

Schrödinger’s lounge - is it there or not?
A curious though adequate place, at times we felt as though we were a bit of an inconvenience - we got stuck in traffic so a couple of hours later than predicted - greeted with ‘oh, you were meant to be here earlier but we’ll take your breakfast order anyway’ (must be in before 6pm, it was nearer 7). We were told and show. The lounch with honesty bar. We weren’t told it’s locked - yes locked - at 10. We arrived back from dinner at 3 minutes past to find this out. The following night it was closed by 9.55pm. Breakfast was good but it really lacked the ambience or conviviality which would have improved the stay

The breakfast was amazing
The hotel is short distance from the ferries, so is well situated. The check-in was friendly, quick and efficient. Cleanliness was good, towels were changed second night and bin empty every day. The breakfast was amazing, lots to choose from. Price for what we paid and overall experience, well worth it. Recommend the place.

The attention to detail was second to none. The hosts were very attentive with prepared routes and even bus maps ready to help us plan our days out.
We used the included health club located 5 mins drive away, it was perfect after our long walks.
Would highly recommend.
