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.

Overall, we were very pleased with our 2-night stay. Excellent location. We mostly walked to sites that were nearby. The room was comfortable and clean and we slept well. There is parking onsite as well as down the road--this was somewhat stressful when we first arrived, as it was quite difficult to get into the one remaining space on site--it requires some maneuvering and the location is right by a low-visibility bend in the road with cars zipping by and lots of pedestrians as well. Would not have been an issue with one of the other two spots, however; we did not try the other parking down the road, but that would not have been very convenient given we had a lot of luggage. One minor complaint: there is a lit sign that appeared to be on all night and brought some ambient light into our room (which was close to the sign); I didn't complain about it, but the owners might consider turning the sign light off at night (at least late in the night). The owners were friendly and responsive and did a load of laundry for us at a very reasonable rate. Where this place really shines is the breakfast: they have many options and really go above and beyond. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.

My partner and I stayed here as a last minute getaway from home before we got started with christmas. The accomodation was perfect, the location was about 10 minute walk into Bowness itself, the hosts were perfect polite, professional and informative. The food was beautiful with a good broad selection. The double bed en suite room was very clean and tidy with a good variety of tea / chocolate. The bed was comfortable and spacious. We would definatley stay here again
