This is our sixth consecutive year we have stayed at this hotel, that should speak for itself. Once again the weather was very kind to us this and the hotel is what brings us back year after year.This year it coincided with our Golden Wedding anniversary. We had a surprise cake, card and picture delivered to our room from the staff on the day which was lovely.
Our room was excellent as was our dining experience. We ate in every night (7) and not once could we find any fault. Olga and her staff do a wonderful job . It surprises me that more guests do not eat in the hotel, they are missing a treat.
Breakfast was excellent too with plenty choice.
All staff are very friendly Aaron the concierge as a local man is very informative.
Hopefully we will be back in 2017.

My husband and I stayed here over the last weekend, the hotel is beautiful and only a short walk from St. Peter Port. Staff are fantastic and so welcoming, when we checked in there was a lovely man on reception called Fiachra, he was so kind and friendly and really made our visit extra special, we had dinner and breakfast in the restaurant for the whole stay and I can't recommend it enough stunning food and excellent service! Will defiantly return for another weekend!

The exterior of the building doesn’t look promising, the interior is totally at odds with the outside ~ again, don’t be put off by the odd eclectic mix of glass, fur, silk and general Boho as it really works, once you get your head around it. The hotel is almost a Heath Robinson experience in real life which just adds to its character (Holiday Inn: every room looks the same it isn’t). We have often read ‘nothing could be too much trouble’ but for the first time for us this statement couldn’t be more true. The hotel is quirky and our room 202 fabulous but the real strength of this hotel is its staff. We have to give special praise to Olga a petite, quietly spoken girl who has her finger on the restaurant pulse so firmly that she is almost omnipresent ~ awesome. Having said that, every single member of staff was upbeat, friendly and professional, above and beyond. The food is wonderful, generous and freshly prepared, full marks. One our best hotels ever.

This was a memorable and outstanding stay for a variety of reasons. It doesn't look much from the outside, but it is a truly wonderful hotel. It may not have the swish of its sister the OGH, but it has a charm and uniqueness of its own. From the moment we walked in the door the staff, without exception, were the best I have come across in any hotel. Helpful, sincere, charming, friendly, knowledgable, professional (it is not often a waiter knows to put a coffee cup down with the handle in just the right place) - and happy "to go the extra mile". I cannot praise them highly enough. We had a sea view room on the 1st floor, we had a very late booking so not the greatest view but a view all the same. The rooms are quiet, the beds comfy, there is water, tea, coffee etc but surprisingly no fridge.
It is hard to find anything to quibble over; the shower was over the bath and the shower head was too low because of the height of the room. Not really an issue is it!
We got engaged when we were in Guernsey and the hotel put a "congratulations" plate of patisserie in our room, a lovely and touching surprise.
One day we had afternoon tea - superb, absolutely superb. And lots of it, don't order it without an appetite - but if you ask they do give you a red box to take away what you can't eat.
What a great hotel.

not the biggest of rooms but excellent bathroom/ shower. Very attentive service at meal times. Unfortunately didn't use the spa or pool. good excuse to go back! the hotel is in a great location as we could to town and sample the resturants around the harbour. We drove around the outside of the island and saw lovely beaches before catching the ferry back home.

Booked here for my wife's 50th birthday. Lovely hotel close to the main town. Room was well presented with a great view. We had our evening meals elsewhere but the breakfasts here were wonderful, as was a high tea we had in the grounds. Didn't get chance to use the pool although it did look inviting. Staff were friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.
