I had a fantastic stay at St John's Lodge, greeted warmly by Ada who made us feel right at home. The breakfast was absolutely really good, offering numerous options and a chance to pre-order hot meals for freshness. The location is perfect, just a short walk to both Windermere and Bowness. However, the room was a bit on the small side, which made moving around a bit tricky at times.
