Great service and value for money.
We had our gutters and walls cleaned, plus our patio looks like new. All slime and slippery services removed. Great value for money - will definitely use again.

FAB! FAB! FAB!
We have been fortunate enough to travel to every Continent in the world and have experienced many types of hotel accommodation, staff and locations....and, here in Guernsey, the OGH has to rate among the best of the best!
We were actually a day late arriving at OGH as, due to "inclement weather" we couldn't sail from Jersey (our Christmas away from home venue) to Guernsey the evening before....
Our weary travel-worn selves were very warmly greeted by Jack at reception....and he pointed us in the direction of the (rather difficult to negotiate) car park and sent Stewart (Concierge?) around to help us in with our (endless!) luggage...
We had, early for us (7.30am), a pleasant breakfast in the hotel and then crashed out for a couple of (much needed!) hours catch-up sleep....
We enjoyed a beautifully appointed room with a sea view....
We noticed that, if requested, a mini fridge could be bought to the room...and, pretty much, only 5 minutes after our request, the very obliging Stewart had lugged one up for us...what a star!
The hotel is literally only a few minutes down the hill to the main shopping/restaurant etc area....
This was a very pleasant surprise as the hotel feels "at a distance" from the rest of the world!...only a good thing!!
All the staff were a joy to meet (Jack and reception staff in particular) and nothing appeared to be too much trouble for this friendly, professional team
We were fortunate enough to meet the General Manager (Andrew) who is charm personified ....
I mention this as I/we believe it was Andrew who sanctioned our request for a late check out....but then went that step beyond...
We were not due to sail back to the UK until 22.25 hrs that evening....and we were permitted to stay "until we needed to leave"...ie. approx 21.00 hrs!...that's some "late check out, eh? (at no extra cost btw!)
AND....before we left, reception called up tp ask if we would like a "food parcel" to take with us for our journey home to the UK!....how kind, how thoughtful...we accepted, of course....
Roberto (lovely , charming man from Sicily) bought it out to our car as we were leaving the hotel... it was absolutely delicious and most welcome!
Whilst this latter part of the review is not necessarily about the hotel I have written it to use as an example of the way the management and staff really do care about and value their guests!
If I lived in Guernsey this would become my second home....as I don't live in Guernsey I/we just dream to return!
Well done one and all!
FIVE STARS without hesitation!

I believe this is the first time I have ever eaten here, I have attended weddings and meetings in the past. I had forgotten how elegant and classy this hotel is. We had a couple of drinks at the bar,before being shown to out table. Unfortunately the restaurant was quiet,probably due to the current situation. I ordered the Chicken pate and the main dish of Ribeye, The service level was excellent,the food was really good,and the wine was just right. This was a really special evening out, it’s fine dining at one of Guernsey’s top hotels.

Josiah and the whole team at Firstcall were absolutely fantastic in helping me find my desired role. I feel very lucky to have had their support and it has been brilliant to find an agency that genuinely wants you to progress and succeed in your professional career. They ensured I was updated at every stage of the entire recruitment process. Josiah spent lots of time with me prior to my interviews, going through possible interview questions in as much detail as possible to make sure that I was adequately prepared. Throughout the process, Josiah was always available to answer any questions and make sure that everything went smoothly. Many thanks to Josiah and the team for such brilliant services! Would highly recommend them.

Travelling as a family of 6 adults, we booked the 4 night package as a break together to experience Christmas away from home due to a significant bereavement on Christmas Day 2020.
We arrived on a very wet Christmas Eve and couldn’t get a taxi to the hotel. I rang to see if there was any way they could help and the hotel minibus was dispatched immediately to collect us. Dave the driver was so friendly and we were very grateful not to have to wait for the bus so an excellent first impression.
On arrival there was a mix up with our rooms but this was dealt with in a courteous and professional manner and didn’t impact our stay once it was sorted out unduly.
All meals apart from Christmas Day were served in the Victor Hugo restaurant from a 3 course set menu. The choice was fairly limited and the same every evening but we all found something to eat that was delicious.
Breakfast is always a highlight at the SPP and didn’t disappoint.
Christmas Day lunch was a choice between a sit down meal or a carvery buffet. As a family we opted for the buffet. The choice of starters and presentation of the food was fantastic. The staff were constantly topping everything up and there was more than enough food for everyone. The carvery was turkey, beef and pork with all the trimmings you would expect and it was delicious. There was a choice of desserts and the chocolate fountain was a highlight with the children. The cheeseboard was superb. The atmosphere in the La Fontaine dining room was lovely. The tables had been beautifully decorated and there was a little gold gift box for everyone containing party poppers and balloons etc. Christmas music played in the background, Santa visited and everyone had a joyful time. The staff worked incredibly hard to ensure all ran smoothly and it did.
Later that evening, though we were sure we wouldn’t eat again for days, we managed to wander down for tea around 8pm where we enjoyed a light supper that really hit the spot.
The hotel provided an active program that included excursions out to parts of the island and to Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve. The weather wasn’t particularly kind and so this probably wasn’t as popular as it might have been had the weather been dry.
Within the hotel, you could join a Christmas quiz, play bingo, watch the Queens speech or enjoy a board game or jigsaw. Lots of fun!
The staff were all amazing and so helpful and especially kind towards our son who has communication difficulties and made lots of ‘friends’ while he was there.
The spa was open every day during our stay and we enjoyed the warm pool, sauna and steam rooms. The lake was lovely to walk around when there was a gap in the rain.
It truly was a wonderful break in every way and we look forward to returning again soon having missed our yearly trips over the pandemic.
Thank you to everyone for working so hard to put the magic into Christmas and looking after us.

Pressureworx Ltd provided a fabulous service at a very reasonable cost. They cleaned a large patio, a terrace, gutters and rendered wall. They have transformed the appearance of the house and we are delighted. They arrived punctually and worked incredibly hard for more than four hours. The three guys were very professional and it was a pleasure to have them working at our property.
I cannot recommend Pressureworx too highly, they are truly excellent in every way.
