Thank you Kirsty and Dave for another great lunch, outstanding food and service as always. As for the tempura prawns to start with - you really have to try them 😋

Stayed here for three nights on bed breakfast basis. Breakfast was excellent - buffet selection and also waitress service for main course - good selection. We found the staff to be friendly and courteous at all times from the Reception to housekeeping - restaurant/bar. We ate in the hotel bar a couple of evenings - the food was well cooked and presented and plentiful. Prices were 'mid range' but if you ate in the restaurant prices were more - as we assume its all cooked in the same kitchen we opted for the informal surroundings of the bar. Room was a decent size - there are some rooms available with balcony but assume these were more expensive but for 3 nights what we had was fine. The only downside to the room was that there was no air conditioning and we did find it was a bit too warm at night time. Theres a swimming pool and patio area but didn't get chance to use pool - a bit on the chilly side and spent time sight seeing. A visit by boat to Herm is well worth it but make sure its a nice day - not a lot to do there but very scenic and peaceful - beautiful white sand beaches and blue sea!

The Duke of Richmond is ideally located to the Port and nearby shops and restaurants. Whilst the hotel boasts large rooms with excellent decor, it is the staff who excel. From check-in they couldn't have been more helpful and made the trip all the more enjoyable and worry free. The hotel has superb facilities including a beautiful patio area and pool. I will be going back again!

If your travels take you to guernsey the duke of richmond is the hotel. Enjoy the comfort, the relaxation and attentive staff who you make sure your stay meets all expectations. Whether you dine in the restaurant or in the bar the quality of food is excellent. The weather in guernsey for the week I was there was very windy which halted all of my visits to the smaller islands - but the hotel made up for all those dissappointments.

The hotel was ideal as a solo traveler and I was given a large double room and not stuck in a pokey single room hidden in the back of the hotel. The staff were all helpfil and friendly throughout my stay.
The location was good and was about ten minutes walk into the centre, although the walk back up the hill certainly kept me healthy.
The breakfasts were great and I was spoilt for chince. I also had dinner on one evening and couldn't fault the food or service.

If you are considering a trip to Guernsey, we can completely recommend The Duke of Richmond Hotel. We had booked a standard room, but were offered a superior room at check-in, for a very reasonable upgrade fee. Having looked at the difference in the rooms, it was a no brainer. I would say the standard rooms would be great for a couple staying for a two or three nights, however, as we were celebrating our anniversary we thought we would treat ourselves.
The superior room, which looked out over the terrace, was recently refurbished, very clean, and really spacious. We had a lovely breakfast each morning, and stopped in for a bar meal one evening. Parking is very limited. We hired a car through reception for one day; it was great to have a proper look around the island and although you will eventually find parking near the hotel, it is on the street, don’t expect to be able to get into the hotel’s allocated spaces.
All in all, a great hotel. All the staff were really helpful and friendly, we’ve already booked our next stay!

Beautiful interior, fantastic food, clean surroundings & toilets, staff who can't do enough for guests, absolute luxury to stay at this hotel or even to visit for a meal or event. Slightly expensive but worth every penny for the quality of everything. Highly recommended!
The only disadvantage is the surrounding hills that have to be walked up & down to get into the town & back, it's ok for able bodied people but not for older people

We came for four nights with our dog, and the welcome and service we received was of the highest standard. There was not enough that the staff could do for us. The interior of the hotel and our room was just wonderful. We were going to eat at some local restaurants, but the food and service at the hotel restaurant was so good we spent every night there. We have stayed at many dog friendly hotels, but this one was by far the best. We will definitely be staying at this hotel again and using it as a base to explore further the beautiful island of Guernsey.

This no doubt excellent hotel is not situated as per the local map on the right in a village near Cambridge but in St Peter Port on Guernsey. This is the type of detail that can make a difference in one's choice of hotel.

The staff are always really and go out of their way to help you and make you feel really welcome. The hotel cater for all types of food allergies and nothing is to much trouble we have stayed there for the past 2 years and cannot wait to stay again next year. Would highly recommend this hotel. Thank you to all the staff at the hotel for making our stay so enjoyable :)
