Located in Windermere, The Penn is a recently renovated accommodation, 2 km from World of Beatrix Potter and 36 km from Derwentwater Lake.

Lovely place! Really loved the thoughtful gifts out, with prosecco for my partners birthday and a cake for our dog. The whole place was really clean and the bed was so comfy. Think my dog found his bed comfy too.

St John's Lodge is an award-winning guest house situated between Windermere village and the Lake at Bowness Bay.

The location was perfect being between Bowness-On-Windermere and Windermere itself. Easy walk to both. Beautiful room that was spotlessly clean. If there’s a better breakfast anywhere I haven’t had it! The selection and quality were outstanding. Thoroughly delicious and beautifully served by Ada.
