Plussat: We visit the lakes a lot and would definitely stay at St Johns Lodge again, it was a lovely guest house, very homely, lovely decor throughout, excellent location for both Bowness and Windermere and the hosts were just great, very warm and welcoming. The options for breakfast were plentiful and the food was the best I have ever had and I have stayed in many hotels and guest houses 4 & 5* and this really beats them. Gail & Colin

Knowing that this is our first time in Bowness-Windermere, they gave us good and useful infornation on food and places to visit. Julie made delicious breakfast. We enjoyed talking to Mark during breakfast time. Looked forward to breakfast every morning during our stay. The beds were comfortable and clean. We had a great view from the room.

Plussat: Host's, location, facilities and food

Plussat: Excellent place to stay and accessible to the local amenities. Excellent hosts with a hearty breakfast served each morning. Will stay again.

Plussat: The hosts were very welcoming, Lingwood Lodge was spotless, the breakfast was fresh, hot, sourced locally and probably one of the best breakfasts ever. I don't normally return to places due to trying somewhere new but I would not hesitate to book again at Lingwood.

Plussat: Everything. Comfy beds . Lovely welcome host Jackie was fabulous and made us welcome. Home from home.

Miinukset: Nothing

Miinukset: N/A

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: Just returned from an excellent weekend in the Lakes, at Jackie and Steve’s B&B. They are such a lovely and welcoming couple - we had a great time. The room was spacious and clean and was only a 5 minute walk into the centre. Breakfast was excellent (I would recommend the pancakes!). Will definitely be coming back and would recommend anyone stays there on their next trip. Thanks again!

Plussat: We loved everything about the property, our room was decorated lovely and it was completely spotless! The hosts were such lovely, genuine people and did everything they could to make our stay perfect! Breakfast was delicious and the homemade cakes were an extra special touch!

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: We had a lovely weekend break here. Great location, super friendly hosts and a really lovely room. Couldn't fault it.

Plussat: Andrew and Louise are fabulous hosts .the property is very homely and beautifuly decorated the food is amazing and its just the best place ever really enjoyed our stay its location is brilliant for both bowness and windermere

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Great accommodation, lovely hosts with fab hospitality, excellent breakfast and service all round.

Plussat: The bedroom was lovely. Great space and the bed was so comfortable. Bathroom was also nice and clean, all seemed pretty new which is great. Breakfast was so good and the lady who served us was so nice.

Plussat: lovely room and bathroom, decorated nice and modern. Great shower. Lovely friendly staff who made us feel so welcome. Breakfast was really nice too, well cooked and plenty of options.

Miinukset: Our only tiny complaint was that the mattress was a bit lumpy. You could feel the springs through it at points which was a bit uncomfortable. I’m sure a decent mattress topper would sort it. We just folded up blanket across the lumpy bits and that was totally fine.

Plussat: Nice clean room and good modern deco. It was in a great location, exactly between Windermere town & Bowness so we visited both places. Good breakfast selection, we had the full English (however no baked beans). Overall, lovely guesthouse and good value.

Miinukset: The room was quite small, therefore lack of wardrobes. There was metal hangers attached to the wall which wasn’t sufficient for 2 people. Parking spaces were also quite tight but for the location it’s understandable.

Plussat: Spacious but cosy rooms. Clean and modern bathrooms. Great breakfast. Staff were excellent. Good location. Would use again if stopping by.

Miinukset: Water in the shower took a little longer to heat up. Window in one of the bathrooms was difficult to ajar.

Plussat: Guest house owners were very friendly. Spacious room, soft furnishings were lovely and modern.

Miinukset: Bedroom was extremely cold

Plussat: Owners were really friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was brillant, plenty of it and no stinting on the toast etc. Room was cosy and bed really comfy - important to us as both bad back sufferers. 10 mins walk to Windemere and 15 mins to Bowness so really central and meant we could leave the car behind in the evenings.

Miinukset: Only a very small niggle really - perhaps the owners could think about changing the grab handles in the shower in our room as they were rusty and spoiled the general lovely look of the room and ensuite.

Plussat: The owners where extremely pleasant and helpfull

Plussat: A very nice family hotel with friendly hosts. The location was convenient and food was good. Also, floooowers all around! :-)

Miinukset: There was no internet connection. However, there are some internet cafes nearby and you can also pick up one of nearby wireless networks.

Plussat: The friendliness of the owners, nothing was to much trouble for them and they provided a lot of local information.

Plussat: Basic, but satisfied need. Staff pleasant.

Miinukset: Nothing. All fantastic.

Plussat: Super enthusiastic and welcoming landlady, very cozy rooms, nice shower, comfy beds, and really the BEST breakfast ever! A super first day of our Lakes District + Scotland trip. Fantastic experience.

Plussat: Great location Excellent hosts, very nice breakfast Room immaculately clean Parking straight outside Can't recommend enough

Plussat: Extremely friendly service and immaculate room. Although we didn't originally book to have breakfast we were offered it on arrival and it was delicious. I thoroughly recommend Beckmead House.

Plussat: Staff were excellent room was lovely , breakfast excellent

Miinukset: Dinning room chairs , slightly uncomfortable to sit on , maybe re upholstered might help

Plussat: Excellent & comfortable thought my bathroom was a little small

Miinukset: Thought my bathroom was a little small

Plussat: Great welcome by Richard, one of the owners. As it was 6pm when we got there we had missed 'tea and cakes' so they left cake in our room which was a lovely touch. The room (room 5) was very clean, comfy and warm. The location was excellent, just a few minutes walk into Windermere and a 1 mile walk to Bowness. The breakfast was lovely too, all home cooked and the best poached eggs I have had! Would highly recommend.

Plussat: The service at breakfast was great. The bathroom was a good size with separate tub and shower. The location was brilliant in Windemere close to walks and a few bars and pubs.

Plussat: The whole experience was fantastic. Beautiful and comfortable accommodation and the service is second to none! Every review I read prior to booking talked about the amazing breakfast and I must say... it did not disappoint!! I couldn’t recommend this place enough! Thank you for an amazing stay!

Miinukset: Not applicable - absolutely fantastic place.

Plussat: Off road way and quiet location, lovely staff and breakfast was good

Miinukset: We paid for a superior double at nearly 40 pounds extra but the room was not a great deal different for the price of a normal room. Unfortunately you could hear the room next door and above which was not great. However the hotel is away from the road and we enjoyed our stay and the hospitality. Maybe a little over priced for the room and the noise issue.

Plussat: The property was in a fabulous location. Staff were absolutely amazing and nothing was to much trouble. Would recommend this property 100%. This stay was for my husbands birthday and he had a great time.

Plussat: The location is perfect because your in between Windermere and Bowness, the room was beautiful and there was always a lovely fresh smell when you entered the house, I loved all the little goodies they left out for you and that they use glass bottles for water

Plussat: An exceptional B&B well located. Spotlessly clean and serving probably the best breakfast in the Lakes. Also free goodies in the room, Cookies and Apple wine. Brilliant !!

Plussat: Hospitality of host, breakfast choice brilliant and very nice. Comfortable rooms. Rooms well equipped for a home from home stay.

Miinukset: Nothing unliked

Plussat: Standard of cleanliness.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Clean, great owners, amazing breakfast, great value

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Everything was better than I expected I wish there was more hotels like this one.

Plussat: The host gave us an extra parking permit - Extremely helpful!

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: We had to change at the last minute. A single room to a double room. No problem. Very happy , no negatives. Car parking was also arranged. Good.

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: Everything was especially good here. Wendy was a very thoughtful host. A real home from home. Nothing was too much trouble. I look forward to another stay here. Dont hesitate to book your break here.

Miinukset: There was nothing I did not like! A real home from home! Delighted to give 10 out of 10.

Plussat: Lovely hosts and room. Plus a delicious breakfast. What more could you want!

Plussat: Near to town centre, Friendly owners Nice breakfast

Miinukset: It is on a steep hill which might be an issue for some but not for us

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Notting

Plussat: It was. Lovely and clean , we have stayed there three times and love it ! Very friendly and a good breakfast and found it of a high standard

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Paul and Jayne were very kind and the hard work they put in everyday certainly shows! The room was very clean, tastefully decorated and comfortable. Breakfast was very good and personally cooked by the 2 of them!!!

Miinukset: We should have stayed more than 1 night! The Lake District is absolutely gorgeous and we could have spent more time in Windermere. There isn't a thing I would have them change or that I would complain about!

Plussat: The property was really close to the Bowness Bay. All the shops, restaurants, cafes were very close. The room was very cute and very clean. I loved the smell of the towels though as I never felt such so clean towels. The hairdryer was working very well. Also the breakfast was delicious. We preorder the breakfast we wanted from the previous day. The quality of the products were very good and the portions were really satisfied.

Miinukset: The only problem that we had was that during the shower the hot water stopped coming and instead cold water started running. It took about 5 minutes before the hot water was back.

Plussat: Very close to both Bowness-on-Windermere and Windermere itself. Both within walking distance. The people that owned the property were fantastic. Made us feel very welcome

Miinukset: No complaints!

Plussat: Lovely B&B in a fabulous location, situated in walking distance of both Bowness & Windermere. Paul & Jane were great hosts & helped us with their knowledge of the local area. The breakfast was excellent.

Plussat: Lovely breakfast,hosts very welcoming and they couldn't do enough for us.

Plussat: It’s a very nice room on the top floor and Jane&Paul were super friendly and helpful. It’s located in the middle of bowness and Windermere- so not close to train station and not close to the lake as well - both 10 mins walk. The breakfast was fantastic

Plussat: Hosts were very informative about the area and very welcoming. Breakfast was fabulous and enjoyable.

Miinukset: Nothing not too like except the bed and pillows could be more comfortable. But nowhere is ever the same as your own bed.

Plussat: Great location very clean and very comfortable close to all the cafe and pubs and only a short walk from the lake

Plussat: Excellent and very homely feel, lovely owners!

Plussat: Lovely hosts, great place, very clean. Free passes to the gym/sauna were included. Good breakfast.

Miinukset: -

Plussat: Very clean, very pleasant staff and excellent location.

Plussat: Everything was perfect. One of the cleanest coziest places I stayed in.oved the well cooked delicious hot breakfast and the house made jams, especially the marmalade.

Miinukset: Check out is 10:30, a bit early for us.

Plussat: The breakfast choice system worked well and was very efficient. Owners were very friendly and the stay very comfortable. I also loved the little touch of a home made flapjack with our tea and coffee in our room! The location was an easy walking distance between Windermere and Bowness. I would happily recommend this hotel.

Miinukset: The only thing I would want to point out to other potential guests is that the bed was quite soft; which I found very comfortable but my husband struggled with as he sometimes is prone to getting a bad back. This is obviously not the fault of the owners but I thought needed pointing out to others who may potentially struggle in a similar way.

Plussat: Although I booked room only, it was really easy to add on the breakfast which was great value for money. Exceptionally friendly welcome and a very relaxed place to stay. Great location.

Plussat: Good cooked breakfast friendly staff

Miinukset: Couldnt fault the place

Plussat: The hotel & decor was lovely. The owner was friendly and very informative. The position of the hotel sponsored a 15 -20 minute walk down to the lake.

Miinukset: 2 things unfortunately made the stay less than perfect. 1. The smell - Immediately upon arrival we were greeted by the smell of fat, (from the breakfast I imagine) which seemed to penetrate the bedrooms. The smell lingered and intensified at breakfast the morning after. Not sure if the kitchen requires additional extraction but the kitchen door is left wide open throughout cooking. Unfortunately, also leaving full view of the staff members who were eating their breakfast as guests passed by. 2. The heating- lack of it on arrival. It was minus 2 when we landed and the radiators were stone cold in the rooms so not comfortable to be in at all. Noisy heating - when it did eventually kick in, early morning it woke us all from sleep. Attention to detail could be better. Toilets seat lid had not been cleaned thoroughly. Plastic cups in the bathroom in an adult only hotel? Water glasses had debris in them. Would I stay again? .. unfortunately no.

Plussat: Everything was perfect, just as expected. Would definitely recommend and come back myself!

Plussat: The beds was very comforable and the room was very relaxing with everything you need. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay again and certainly recommend to friends.

Miinukset: Nothing at all

Plussat: Breakfast was lovely

Plussat: The Headboard lol i want it everything was great clean comfortable food was hot great and Susie was fantastic will def be going back.

Miinukset: Need a lift to room 7 god i was unfit lol.

Plussat: The house cleanliness and atmosphere were very impressive. The staffs there were so kind and friendly. Breakfast was nice and well prepared where you would experience real English breakfast here. If you are someone who like to be solitude, this is the place for you as it is far from the tourist area but still in walking distance for your to hit the lake area within 10 minute walk. House decoration with quality furniture made you feel English style of living. Highly recommended for a couple day (at least 2-3 nights) visit for Lake District exploration.

Miinukset: Apart from my short stay only 1 night at the crazy cold and rainy night. The rooms is a bit compacted with steeply staircase that might get you sweaty to carry the big luggage up to the room. Showering area is so tiny where I cannot imagine how big men would be able to fit in as a small Asian lady like myself had a bit difficulty turning around while showering. Otherwise, this place is just lovely and worth money for a longer visit.

Plussat: very friendly & welcoming

Plussat: The whole experiance,a very warm welcome,excellent accomodation,and contary to what other people have said the shower was excellent,food was great and plentiful ,and the waitress always had a big smile on her face which made sure every day started off great no matter what the weather was like.

Miinukset: Nothing everything was great.I would definatley go back and reccomend the chestnuts to anybody wanting to visit the lakes and want value for money accomodation

Plussat: Extremely welcoming and comfortable guest house. Nice size room, very clean and nice little extra touches like chocolates on the pillows and a cute bear on the bed! The owners were very hospitable and were fine with us arriving a little later than their normal arrival times. Breakfast was delicious.

Plussat: Adequate accomodation, very clean, comfortable bed, nice, helpful people, lovely breakfasts. Within walking distance of both Windermere and Bowness.

Miinukset: Decor was in need of an update and the bathroom was quite poor, particularly the shower, very small cubicle and sporadic water-flow. We understood the present owners only recently took over so they may well make changes in the near future.

Plussat: The friendliness and excellent value for food.

Miinukset: No

Plussat: The Hotel was very clean and well looked after and our room felt lovely and fresh. The staff were very friendly and cooked an excellent breakfast!

Miinukset: There was nothing I did not like although our shower wasn't the best however it did work just not alot of pressure.

Plussat: Wonderful building, lovely rooms, great welcome from authentic and friendly owners. Smashing breakfast and a great location. This place has everything really and is a really authentic slice of England.

Miinukset: Nothing could have been better. It is easy to find. Great location. Amazing shower and bath. Loved the place and it is a great price considering how authentic and English it is.

Plussat: The owners, Susan and Glen, were extremely friendly from the moment we arrived to the minute we left. They offered us a glass of port and mince pie when we arrived which was a welcome treat. They were always on hand with advice as to where to visit and information about the area.

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: The owners are lovely people very friendly. The room was amazing the freakfast fab

Plussat: You got a real Christmas feeling, the minute you walked in. The smell of candles and Christmas lights made it feel wonderful and homely. Lovely greeting, being offered Port and would have had a mince pie had the latest batch not burnt in the oven. Room was fantastic and just a short walk into Bowness.

Miinukset: Would have liked the option of baked beans with the Breakfast, not being a fan of mushrooms.

Plussat: The room we stayed in had a beautiful 4 poster bed with seperate dressing area and shower. The bed was very comfortable. Facilities in the room were great with lots of little extras. Breakfast was excellent - best fried egg ever!! But the best thing about this place is the hosts Susan and Glenn. You could not meet 2 nicer people anywhere. So helpful and cheerful. This was our first visit but definitley not the last

Miinukset: Nothing - it was perfect

Plussat: Everything was spot on. Room decorated to a very high standard and very comfortable. Breakfast was extremely well cooked and delicious. The owners are 2 very lovely people and we would love to stay again.

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: Very friendly hosts. Short walk into town. Quiet even though near the road. Fabulous breakfast. Free upgrade to a four poster larger room which was superb.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The location is perfect for access to Bowness-on-Windermere and the lake itself. The room was beautifully decorated, very comfortable and very clean. The hosts were wonderful people, bringing us a warm mince pie and a glass of port as we settled in. Susan is a lovely lady with time for everyone and plenty of local knowledge to help you to plan your day. I’d definitely stay here again.

Miinukset: We liked everything!

Plussat: Owners very helpful. Breakfast a wee bit limited choice but good. Room very comfy linen , towels and showers good. Location a bit out of Bowness centre but nice walk if weather good. Free Car Parking at site.

Miinukset: Needs a real fire in the lounge sitting area? Some Road noise but acceptable to us and quiet at night.

Plussat: Location, room, breakfast....everything is good. The host is really kind and provides lots useful information about Lake District.

Miinukset: Nope

Plussat: well decorated room with lovely view. Plenty of choice at breakfast. Hosts were very welcoming and had a real family feel to the place.

Miinukset: Breakfast was served until 9.30 and 10 would be better over New year

Plussat: The owners, Richard and Christine were lovely, very helpful and attended to any need we had. The breakfast was delicious and the views amazing. It is close to Bowness and many walks in the country. A few nice touches like board games and dvds to borrow.

Miinukset: It was clean enough, but could have been cleaner. It also lacked a few facilities that would have been nice, fridge, electric shower for example.

Plussat: Breakfast was lovely with lots of choice. Very comfortable bed, warm room, lovely quiet Guest House.

Miinukset: Would have liked the option of having a take away but understand the reasons why they are not allowed.

Plussat: Made to feel very welcome. If we had any queries, Richard and Christine would take time to help us. Wonderful view from our room.

Miinukset: Couldn't fault it.

Plussat: Christine made us very welcome and the bedroom had lovely views of the lake and was very comfortable, breakfast was excellent cannot fault anything.

Plussat: Good sized room with nice views. Super breakfast it’s lots of choice. We were made welcome.

Miinukset: Nothing at all

Plussat: Large room, very clean. Lovely staff. Old historic building. Loved the old windows in our bedroom(room 6) Great area for dogs, and easy to walk them around the hotel.

Miinukset: Bar food/ snack menu could have more choice and quality. The restaurant food looked superb but never got the chance to dine.

Plussat: The old school/modern decor was nice, the bed was comfortable, the location/views was very nice

Miinukset: The bathroom was so small it was a struggle to go the toilet, the walls were paper thin you could hear everything happening from either room next door or the landing, which also meant the noise from the bar downstairs was very loud at night. No fridge

Plussat: Large bed, spacious room

Miinukset: Dogs barking in room next door

Plussat: Our room was spacious and overall beautifully presented. The view over lake Windermere was spectacular.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The hotel is at a beautiful location you can`t ask for more. The staff is very friendly and can`t do enough for you. Our two waiters Ian and Joel have been ever so nice . The atmosphere is the house was very relaxing . I can only recommend this place and we will come back to this beautiful place in the Lake District.
