I'm a difficult old s** to please but the Old Government House ticked every box during our long weekend stay in Guernsey.
From a lovely welcome when we arrived early from the airport, guided tour by the concierge (think it was Roberto) a comfortable room and variety of spaces to eat, drink and relax throughout the hotel, we were made to feel completely at home.
Also some nice touches like the curry room restaurant, a small spa and gym plus an outdoor heated pool, the facilities provided everything we could have wanted.
Located on the edge of St Peter Port town centre, so also very convenient.
Topping it off, staff throughout the hotel were fantastic and looked after us faultlessly.
5 stars in every respect - will be back.

If you want to see how a hotel should be run then come to OGHH in Guernsey.
We had stayed at many hotels on this 6 week trip but nothing can compare to this amazing hotel. We were to spend four nights here but this was cut to 3 when we were left in Jersey with no accommodation due to a ferry cancellation ( take note as this happens a lot).
This stay was the best of anywhere we stayed & have stayed. We have stayed in many of the Red Carnation hotels but feel this is the best of them.
Following a check in & glass of bubbly we had a lovely tour of the hotel with Roberto( who was a great friend by the end of the stay - a great asset) & then to our spectacular room. I don't think there is anything that this hotel can do better.
The room was spotless ,classy & contained everything we could hope for & more. Items used were quickly replaced & lovely individual treats were left each night. Towels, toiletries, tea, coffee all plentiful & top notch.
If there was anywhere in the world we would love to return to it would be here! That may not be possible but we will always remember our time here!

In January 2014, Alvea G said about Crown Club
We've been in on a couple of occasions both for coffee during the afternoon in the beautifully lit conservatory and also on an evening for drinks in the Crown Club. This is the newer part to the hotel, which some may not be familiar with. Which is a shame because it's beautiful! Brass bar, extensive alcohol selection, and very friendly attentive staff (we had one pleasurable encounter with a young english bartender who made our time there just that extra bit special, she definitely made us want to return!) To receive this attention as just a passing guest and not a resident of the hotel was just lovely, yes you may pay extra for this type of detail but its unlike anywhere else on the Island.

I am "local", and a few friends and I who normally meet up for a coffee on Saturday morning decided to go to the OGH for a change, based on photos by another friend on Facebook.
We wended our way through this distinguished hotel to the Crown Club, where we were immediately made welcome and also knew that our ever need was being attended to.Very comfortable, I like the old-style, almost "colonial" feel to the hotel. We had a thoroughly enjoyable morning and left feeling refreshed and invigorated!

This is a great venue for a cocktail or two. Keith is very welcoming and knowledgeable. He mixed a great chocolate martini and classic champagne cocktail.
The food menu is simple and perfect for the setting. Try the lobster roll!Thank you for making Dex so welcome too!

We decided to visit this fairly new place, as we fancied a light lunch. The staff were very welcoming and the service was excellent. There is seating both inside and out and everything is very casual, with low coffee tables, so it is not so much of a 'restaurant' as a charming place to eat, or you can just spend time over a drink or afternoon tea. We chose their lobster baguette and were not disappointed. The bread was warm and the lobster cut into small pieces and mixed with a wonderfully rich and thick marie-rose sauce. Some lettuce and more sauce on the side, together with a basket of perfectly cooked thin French fries. Not quite as light as we had planned, but well worth trying. There were several items on the menu that we fancied and will definitely be back.

In April 2010, FreedomButterfly said about Doghouse, The
I visited this place as part of a group of people for a pre-planned party and so the food was pre-ordered. I had three courses and everything ordered was fresh and hot and to me good value for money. Large portions of food were served for the main meal, so much so I couldn’t manage it all! Considering in our case they were serving 25 people at once I didn’t hear anyone complaining! The pub atmosphere was nice and this particular evening there was a live band on which was entertaining, the music was good. Bar service good and attentive. All in all a very good enjoyable evening out and I wouldn’t hesitate to visit again.

The Doghouse was recommended by locals. Very lively. Food was excellent my wife had the starter fishcakes for her meal, I had the brie followed by a steak. Probably better with a group as it is a bit loud and definitly a bar scene once the live bands start. Very glad we went there as it was a very local place not touristy at all. Very crowded, obviously popular with the locals.
