We have just returned from a 4 night stay at the OGH to celebrate our Civil Partnership ceremony which was held the day before we flew out. We experienced a really warm welcome from Emily which set the tone for the coming days. The room was spacious, quiet (as requested) and spotlessly clean. The breakfasts were delicious, with a great choice and the daily delivery of a 'sweet treat' were appreciated. All the staff we came into contact with were very friendly and efficient which contributed to an extremely enjoyable and memorable stay.

Guernsey only 5 star hotel lived up to its 5 stars, lovely welcome, nothing to much trouble, rooms finished to a very high standard with options of pillows you would like, separate large bathroom with bath and shower spotless. The hotels rooms and fabulously decorated as you would expect from the old governors house. Breakfasts are good in the conservatory not rushed and freshly cooked. The gardens lovely great place for a G&T ( or 2) on a sunny afternoon, there is even a small pool. The location is bang in the middle with many bars and restaurants surrounding it if you want to venture out, cannot praise the staff enough professionalism but friendly, we even got an Easter egg on departing ( being Easter Sunday). A first class establishment we hope to return.

This is a very smart, traditional, dog-friendly hotel. When I made the booking for one plus my Norfolk Terrier (for my stopover, travelling from Jersey to Sark), I blanched at the room cost: £260.10 for one night with breakfast in April (room with balcony). However it was worth every penny as this is a really good hotel, with fantastic service. The room was stunning, in an old school way - draped curtains, monogrammed bed linen, little chocolate treat/snack. Breakfast was delicious and as it was a bright day I sat outside near the fountain - incredibly relaxing. I liked this so much that when I was on my way back from Sark, with time to spare in St Peter Port, I came here for a coffee - perfect if you are with a well-behaved dog and want a quiet break. I would definitely go back as I don't get that much time to relax - quality time out is at a premium - and so you have to grab it with both hands. The beautiful Candie Gardens (terrific views) are just across the road: handy for walking the dog. Looks like a great place to have a posh tea to celebrate a special occasion, or to come for a smart breakfast with newspapers at a weekend. Do dress up a bit (jeans are fine, but definitely "clean jeans") and come to have some peaceful time out. Great location if you are visiting St Peter Port in Guernsey.

Boutiquesque hotel, charming in parts, but the rooms are small, so there is noise from the corridor. The bathroom was modern and neat, but very compact and how a shower was fitted in way a surprise as it was the tightest shower I have ever been in measuring just 2ft by 2ft. It’s a good job I am slim!
Worst part was the incessant alarm from an unoccupied room at 6:15 on a Saturday morning which required a call to the front desk to sort out – 10 minutes later.

St Pierre Park is another good example of a hand picked hotel. Great for families.
It is disappointing that the only rooms that can accommodate a third child's bed are on the top floor with the tiniest of balconies only suitable for 1 person. These rooms get very hot and no air conditioning. The health club facilities are excellent, the treatments we had in the spa very good. The very friendly team are trying hard but improvements are needed to reach another star. Housekeeping fell short and some confusions at breakfast time. We only had breakfasts which were very good.The courtesy bus is an excellent option into Town, but not always available if the hotel has functions,so guest needs not always put first which is disappointing. None of this things would prevent us from staying at this hotel again.

I recently had a short break at the St Pierre Park. Our room was clean and comfortable and the staff all very friendly and helpful. There were a number of events on during our stay, including a wedding party but this did not affect our enjoyment in staying here. We stayed on a B&B basis and the breakfast food was high quality. We had dinner on one evening and the food was also of a high standard; especially recommend the scallops. I didn't have time to try out the pool or spa but will certainly do that on a return visit. Well done St Pierre Park manager and team.

We have just returned from a weeks family holiday and had a really enjoyable time we stayed on a bed and breakfast holiday. The staff were very friendly and there to help you ,the pool was very nice and clean although it would be nice if the children could use the pool a bit later than 9.30 in the morning then it is from 3.30 till 6 o'clock.
The children's play area is very good and the crazy golf is fun the grounds are kept very clean and tidy. We arranged for the hotel mini bus to take us to the harbour for our trip to Sark and then they picked us up from our return.
Well done Ronnie all credit to staff and we will be back.

good parts, room was spacious with great views, bar staff were excellent. Spa and pool area brand new.
Bad parts, for a hotel of this standing, waiting in line to be seated for 20 minutes with people lining up down the hall for breakfast was disappointing, They appeared to not have enough staff but this happened throughout the two weeks, weekends and week days.the Junior concierge was extremely defensive rather than helpful when I just explained my paper was not delivered. Minor things but adds to the memories...

We have just come back from a three night stay at this wonderful hotel. From the moment we stepped into the spacious well appointed reception area we knew we had chosen a great place to stay. From the very start the reception staff were warm and welcoming especially the dutch lady (apologies I cannot remember her name) and continued to be throughout our stay. We had paid a small surcharge to have a garden facing room and this was worth every penny extra, our room was on the ground floor looking out to the tennis courts each room on this level has a terrace with seating perfect for relaxing after a days sight seeing or shopping! The room was spacious comfortable very clean and the bed was gorgeous! The breakfast was good plenty of choice, again the waiting staff are very warm and helpful. We chose to eat at the terrace bar each evening as there is plenty of choice and to sit on the terrace on a lovely warm evening eating dinner is wonderful! Again we could not fault the bar staff/waiters Dave, Marisuzw (apologies i know this is not the correct spelling) and the bar manager are a joy to talk to. If you don't want a hotel in the centre of things then this is perfect, the hotel is set in lovely peaceful grounds and if we had more time then I would have certainly tried out the spa but then again there's always next time!
The hotel is about a 20 to 25 minute walk into St Peter Port but there is a good bus service into town and the nearest bus stop into town is just minutes away past waitroses carpark exit (tip most bus stops are identified by the word Bus on the pavement as opposed to an actual bus stop sign) Numbers 41 and 42 serve this route. Quite frankly for a £1 per single fare its not really worth hiring a car if there is just two of you we saw most things by using the bus and a bit of walking and saved an awful lot of money and some of the roads are extremely narrow! The terminus in town is on the seafront and just outside of the travel agents there you can catch the 91 or 92 which does a circular tour of the island for £1 each and takes around 75 mins a perfect way to see the island.
In short I cannot recomend this hotel highly enough and will certainly go back.

I along with 4 friends have just spent a long weekend at St Piierre Park and could not ask for a nicer place to stay. Every single member of staff that we encountered spent time to talk to us and help us with anything we asked of them. The hotel was very clean and comfortable. I would recommend this hotel to anyone that asks. One thing that was missing was air conditioning in the bedrooms. Hopefully that will be introduced in the near future.
