10/10 Excellent

We spent three nights at St John's lodge and were glad that we had. The establishment is professionally run but with a very homely and friendly feel. It is located within easy walking distance of restaurants and the lake foreshore but is far enough away to ensure a great night's rest. Real value for money.
