This hotel has its own suit of armour in the lobby!
My stay here was only 1 night but the room was stunning, it had a sofa and a chandelier! The bed almost needed a step ladder and it was about the most comfy thing ever.
On booking the hotel asks if you want feather or foam pillows - feather is ideal.
The tv was huge and the remote was in a fresh plastic wrapper.
Dinner in the resturant was one of the best I've eaten, as was the breakfast.
I want to return and really explore this place a bit more.

Arrived at the hotel mid morning - very warm and friendly reception and the rooms were ready. Lovely room, sea view, staff were excellent with helpful advice through out our stay. Breakfast was great with good attentive service. Evening meal was also excellent. Also had dinner in the Old Government House, they opened the Curry room especially for the 4 of us. Generally the staff could not have been more helpful.
We travelled as on a Secret Escapes package which turned out to be a great deal. Although some visitor attractions were not open (too early in the season) we found more than enough to do and travelled on the excellent island bus service.
The hotel was a bit of a climb up from the front but walking through the shops and taking our time it was not really a problem. Parking might be an issue if you had a car although the hotel does have some reserved parking.
Overall lovely stay - thanks DOR.

My wife organised afternoon tea for my birthday, but disappointingly the scones were cold and stale and some of the treats were rather odd. Sandwiches were good. A friend who had eaten here a few weeks prior said their scones were warm and fresh but had eaten at an earlier time. This is supposed to be a 4star + hotel and so really should do better. When my wife said to the waitress the scones were stale, she just shrugged her shoulders and showed little interest.

I stayed at this hotel for one evening. I arrived fairly late as my flight was delayed so immediately after check-in they called the restaurant to make sure I could get some food. I opted for room service which came quickly and the food was hot and very good. The room was very nice and the staff were all very friendly.

Extremely comfortable hotels up on top of the hill above St Peter Port.
Great views from the breakfast room
WiFi an dtV in every room as expected.
Cozy bar.
Staff accommodated extra day stay as a result of weather closing the airport.

My husband and I were there recently for a short break. Having never visited Guersey before, we thought a short break would be enough to decide if we need to return for a longer visit. We HAVE to go back, if only to stay at the hotel again!
I can't praise the staff enough. As we arrived and keen to get out to see what Guernsey had to offer.Aaron( one of the front of house staff) suggested we get the 91/92 bus around the island. That was the perfect start. He got us some bus timetables, maps and info which was extremely useful.
The room could have been bigger, but the bed was so comfortable and the room so quiet, that I really couldn't complain.
We ate in the restaurant and again the service was top notch.
We found the walk down to the town centre very useful to walk off the calories consumed. We are both in our 60s and fairly fit, so the hills did not bother us too much. You just have to take your time.
We would definitely recommend this hotel and we will be returning.

The Staff at this hotel have received some excellent training, they are extremely professional whilst remaining very friendly and approachable. Nothing appears too much trouble for them. All the facilities at the hotel are first class. If you are visiting Guernsey I would recommend you stay at The Duke of Richmond.

Great weekend made special by the facilities and Andi the most efficient and pleasant House Manager I have come across.
Magnificent views from the room made better by wakening to with sunrise over Herm & Sark. The Whatever/Whenever button on the phone sums it up...they deliver on this.

Had an absolutely amazing surprise 40th birthday break in Guernsey. This hotel may be 4* but the service is 5*. Delicious food, cocktails lunch and a breakfast of kings. No request too small or too big. Welcomed with a glass of fizz that set a very high standard. Well and truly lived up to for the whole stay. Thank you to all the staff involved. It really was amazing. Thank you.

Stayed here for three days in March and had an extremely enjoyable visit; didn't want to leave! The hotel's publicity says it pays a lot of attention to detail and this is not a hollow statement. The room and bathroom were spotless, the breakfast (and one evening meal we took in the restaurant) was excellent but most of all the service was some of the best I have ever experienced in an hotel. I especially liked the greeting one received from reception staff every time one entered the hotel. The staff are not only very well trained but they were all particularly friendly and welcoming, nothing was too much trouble. The hotel is very well placed for St Peter Port and is in a quiet and leafy location. I recommend this hotel wholeheartedly.
