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.

I booked this last minute and so glad I came across it. Booked King but got free upgrade to large King. Everything excellent, very comfortable, quiet, clean, plenty of extras in room including bottled milk in fridge, two bottles water, cotton wool and buds as well as the usual shower gel, shampoo, conditior soap, and an extra nice touch wine glasses in room. Host very friendly and informative, folder provided with lots of information on local area. Mini bar with honesty box available in lounge. Delicious breakfast with plenty of choice. Great location in quieter area inbetween busy bowness and windermere and we parked right outside front door, no charge. Could not fault it at all and would definitely stay here again :)

What a lovely place is St Johns Lodge, made all the better by being run by Rich and Ada, who were lovely, and couldn't do enough for us. The room was very tastefully decorated, very comfortable. The bathroom was large, and the shower easy to get into, and loads of lovely hot water. The breakfasts were the best we've had, and Rich and his team did everything to make it perfect, even managing to get coffee to my husbands liking (a very difficult feat!!). They provide a very useful folder that has places of interest to visit, restaurants and walks in the area. They were very easy to talk to and I cannot recommend this guest house highly enough.

Ada and Rich both very friendly and accommodating, amazing breakfast cooked fresh to how you want it (don’t get that in bigger hotels). Room was comfortable and the addition of access to the health club was a great touch.
