Myself and my partner spent 3 nights here and enjoyed a lovely stay.
Andy and Lynne were very personable and friendly as people and very attentive and helpful as owners and we were made to feel welcome and comfortable right from the off. The room was immaculate and provided everything we needed for our short stay. The breakfast was also lovely and the dining room had a very pleasant, bright atmosphere that set a great tone for the day. The location is a stones throw away from the beach and a 10min walk away from the town. All in all we felt St Johns guesthouse provided the grounds for a great

Excellent hosts. Lovely attention to detail in the rooms with little extras. The refurbishment of the rooms and bathrooms are beautiful. Lovely taste in decor! We stayed in the Romsey Suite. A king bed and twin room separated by a Jack & Jill bathroom. Perfect for a family of four. Thank you both.

Fabulous B&B, with excellent COVID safe systems in place. We stayed for 4 nights and it was perfect, Lynn and Andy are perfect hosts. Room was beautiful, clean and comfortable followed by a superb breakfast every day. Parking was easy and the location great for the beach, harbour and local restaurants/site seeing. If we could give more stars we would. Next time I think we'll have to take a midweek break to try St John's 'afternoon tea'.
