We have visited the Lake District on a number of occasions but were delighted to find this gem of a B&B conveniently located in Windermere and an ideal base for the surrounding area. First impressions count for everything and the hosts Barry and Sue made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived and every effort was made to make... more

Four friends and i have just returned from Windermere and a weekend stay at St Johns Lodge. Overall it was a positive experience; Sue and her staff were friendly and accommodating (we said we would arrive between 9 and 10pm and at 9.30 we had a telephone call to check on our progress!!). When we arrived we were shown to... more

Stayed for two nights and found this to be a great B&B. Does exactly what a B&B ought to - offers a decent bed and excellent breakfast. Fresh, clean bedroom, and a good shower. Situated between Windermere and Bowness means it's handy for both (a short walk either way). The breakfast menu was the most extensive I've seen in any... more

There are so many restaurants within easy walking... more

As it turns out the weather was great so we did plenty of outdoor... more

On arrival, we were shown to a room which had a strong, unpleasant smell of fresh paint. The manager insisted that the smell came from the new carpet, but after a short investigation (another conversation with other staff in the manager's office) it turned out that the room had indeed been repainted 2-3 days before (both the doors - with... more
