1st time staying and it won't be last. Spotless room, very comfy and the food was 1st class.
Glad my usual hotel had no availability or I wouldn't have found this place.

We had a gold room. Lovely, balcony walk in shower with heated floor and comfy bed. Two great restruants in the main building lovely food and menu's. Really nice breakfast, the only thing missing was s fridge. But curiously you get a decanter of sherry. But lovely stay.

A good stay made excellent by the very kind and helpful staff. Always happy to help especially Susie on reception and Samantha in the spa.
We loved the hot tub with the Treehouse room. Had a good meal in Buho: simple food and cocktails but tasty. Decent breakfasts and very sweet, friendly service there too.
The bay down the hill is great for swimming and the cafe there sells the worlds best (and most expensive!!) crab sandwich.
It’s a 25 minute walk down the hill into town. Easy to get taxis back. Best to book ahead for restaurants if you have a preference as the good ones fill up in season.

Superb in all aspects, really enjoyable stay. Only 4 stars as not all restaurants open due to temp. staff shortages.

Lovely, quaint hotel with a good selection of restaurants and their associated bars. We've stayed multiple times, most lately during the Covid era, and the hotel bar was unfortunately closed, so Buho was our only option. Still would recommend, as staff are helpful and work hard to make your stay a great one.
Higher tier rooms have great valley and sea views, and include a decanter of sherry!

Stayed for 3 nights in Jul-21. We had a wonderful stay, it really is a beautiful hotel with incredibly friendly staff and two great restaurants. Our only criticisms are that the third restaurant (Greek) was closed making it difficult to get a table at the other two, and the promised complimentary airport shuttle wasn't available on our return. It's no problem getting the bus, but don't advertise a facility if you can't offer it.

We stayed at the hotel whilst working on the Island. Unfortunately we were unable to check in before 3pm, after arriving on the island on the early ferry, so we ended up having food and drinks at one of the hotel restaurants, Ocean Restaurant before checking in . The views from the terrace look right across Fermain Bay. Food was good but a little slow on the service, even though there were few guests dining.
For some reason, this was also the case at breakfast which was at the same restaurant. Staff however were friendly and very helpful. Couldn't fault them.
Food selections on the lunch/evening were limited for vegetarians and vegans. Breakfast however had a good selection of a vegetarian cooked breakfast, avocado & mushrooms on sourdough, shakshuka, fresh fruit bowls , cereal, pastries, fresh fruit, juices and so forth. Presentation of food was lovely.
We also dined at the other two restaurants Bûho restaurant and also the Rock Garden Steakhouse. Bûho was our favourite restaurant out of them all for the food choices, the cocktails and the atmosphere. Good choice of vegetarian dishes also at Bûho too.
Now to the room: Our room was situated at the top of the older part of the hotel and was spacious and well appointed with a mini fridge with chilled water inside, which was much appreciated in the very hot weather and we noticed a bag full of children's toys/puzzles was also included in the wardrobe which was a lovely touch. Toiletries in the bathroom (The White company) smelt lovely.
The only faults we found was that the room was very very hot (A fan was provided to help), there were few sockets in the room to charge our work computers/devices as some of the sockets are specially designed for hotel staff to use and the shower cubicle could have done with a bit of an an update as the surround was a little worn.
The hotel library downstairs next to the coffee/tea room has an array of leaflets and information of local site seeing places in the area and a quiet space to chill out if it is raining outside.
The swimming pool downstairs is small but wonderful to relax in after a full day of work or sightseeing-towels were available from the reception area and changing rooms close to the poolside. Sadly I was unable to book any spa treatments on the days we stayed, as it was already fully booked.
Hotel is ideally situated to walk down to Fermain Bay to explore the coastal path and Bluebell woods, to spend a day at the beach or go for a bracing swim in the Bay. Be warned the walk back from the beach is fairly steep for those who struggle with walking up hills/lower mobility. There is a bench part way up for a breather if you need it.
There is parking at the hotel via a very narrow single track road.
All in all a lovely place to stay and we would return if on the island again.

Food excellent, service excellent, rooms average. We are at Buho on the Thursday evening which was great! Lovely food and great service. Breakfast in the morning was also really good. The rooms let it down a bit as the annex rooms are a little dated, small, no air conditioning and a lack of plug points for charging. All in all, pretty good

Lovely hotel set in the beautiful Fermain Valley, south of St Peter Port. Friendly professional staff. Excellent food. Well appointed, clean rooms. The pool and sauna were nice to have on a dreary wet February afternoon.
We stayed here for a winter staycation and loved it.
