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.

I really can't fault this hotel. The team are so friendly. Noting is too much trouble - from doing my printing to making me an egg sandwich at a moment's notice and everything in between.
I took my chihuahua doggy along with me. Hotels often say they are pet friendly but turn out to only allow pets in the bedrooms. Dexter was made extremely welcome everywhere he went. In the bar he was brought water and treats. In reception he was treated like a human guest. We even had our very own bedroom door sign. As always the food is exceptional at the DofR. Can't wait to return.

We were on our way to an air race weekend in Abbeville and decided to have 2 nights in Guernsey to extend our break away. We chose this hotel from good reviews on this site as it seemed the perfect hotel for a relaxing break. We were not disappointed! The decor is very eclectic with jungle and animal prints on the Walls, ceilings and furniture, this reflects the South African owners and is very original and fun. Our room was spacious and very comfortable, the towels and bed linen of superb quality. The staff are very friendly especially the reception staff who made us feel very special. We spent our final night dining in the restaurant, a superb 3 course dinner with bottomless bubbles - the April special deal. Amazing value. On our return to our room we discovered a carrot cake had been decorated with an aircraft and race pylons with a good luck message and card. We were very touched at such a thoughtful gesture as we only mentioned this in passing to Ben on reception. If we return to this beautiful Island we will stay here again and would highly recommend it.

Just returned from a lovely stay at the Duke of Richmond. Everything about our stay was great, from the room to the staff and the food. It's in a great location with a short walk to the harbour, shops and restaurants. Will recommend to others and would love to return soon.

Lovely rooms many with impressive views. Incredibly friendly & efficient staff of young people wise beyond their years make this a perfect jumping off place to see this little bit of the UK closer to France than England. Breakfast in the solarium is a great way to start the day & if a day of touring or working has you tire out, you won't go wrong with having dinner in the dining room.

We recently held our social club quiz night at the Duke of Richmond, and I cannot praise the staff enough for their care and attention. The room was clean and well laid out, and the buffet supper beautifully prepared. The organiser had not received a message regarding someone's dietary requirements but a word with the chef and within ten minutes he had brought out a tray of gluten and dairy free food. Thank you to Helen, Adrian and your team, and of course the chef, for helping to make it a great event!
