All staff, with no exceptions gave wonderful and very good service - attentive without being intrusive. Our room was beautiful and we especially liked the night light in bathroom which was very helpful in the dark to find our way!
Stunning grounds and comfortable public areas.
On asking if we could purchase some of the lovely coffee to go home, we were told it was not possible. However, we were then presented with some to take home with us.A caring hotel!! Just lovely.

What an incredible experience staying at this grand establishment, so sorry that it was only for two nights. First class service, attentive and well trained staff. Beautiful room, with every creature comfort imaginable.... the bathroom toiletries are sheer bliss. Excellent restaurants - all in all, a wonderful place to stay.

Apart from the hill it's ideally set in the middle of the town. Climbing up from the waterfront after dinner made us puff, but it was well worth the effort. Wonderful hotel still maintaining the best of old fashioned standards in a modern and friendly way. Bedrooms are lovely, restaurant and bars charming, the food's good and the staff are just wonderful. Would have no hesitation in recommending it to friends and family.

Upgraded this year! So worth it! The views were fantastic and as always the staff were courteous, polite, attentive and went the extra mile! The bar has something for everyone and the afternoon tea looked good. Thank you, we will be back soon!

I have stayed at this hotel on five occasions and not been disappointed once. It is located on a hill about 15 minutes walk from St Peter Port, (the walk back is very steep).
The staff are extremely helpful and always smiling. The bar and outside terrace are very good for relaxing and eating and drinking. we have had a different room on each occasion and they have all been extremely well maintained and clean.

We stayed here 17-19 June. A relaxing luxurious hotel I would highly recommend.
Decor is funky and high quality. I love animal print so the reading area with its striking zebra print and the bar/restaurant with its leopard design was just up my street.
Food is outstanding. Good choice and high quality.
Beautiful outside terrace which was a sun trap.
The room was luxurious with a huge, bigger than super king bed. And the views from the huge window wonderful to wake up to.
All the staff were friendly and went the extra mile.
What I love about this hotel, apart from all of the above, is the attention to detail. In the rooms there is stationery in the dressing table drawer - not just the usual paper and pens, but a stapler, rubber etc. Well thought out. In the bathroom there is a soft blue lighting option making a trip to the loo easy during the night. And outside of the restaurant on the landing jars of traditional sweets where you just help yourself. And for us ladies a magnifying mirror for doing make up! There is also a hairdryer (not the best I've used but perfectly adequate). Also an iron and full sized ironing board too. Beautiful fluffy dressing gowns and slippers are provided, luxurious white soft and fluffy towels too. And a bed turn down service available with sweet treats left on the pillow.
This was a belated anniversary visit that we'd had to postpone twice. But the hotel still remembered and there was a bottle of champagne my partner had arranged waiting for us on arrival with canapés and the added touch of an anniversary card from the hotel.
If you are looking for a bit of luxury for a special occasion of just a weekend away, I would thoroughly recommend this gorgeous hotel.

We spent 5 days at this pleasant hotel. Staff very welcoming,efficient and helpful. Comfortable well appointed room though not over spacious. We dined twice in the very good restaurant. Hotel situated about 15 minute walk up hill from St Peter Port centre. Good base for exploring Guernsey.

Attending a function last night for approx 50 people I would say the staff were organised and attentive. Due to them I would say the hotel is probably worth a stay.
When reviewing food I do try to appreciate providing that many meals "at once" is not an easy task. I wasn't that impressed Heinz Tomato soup for starters was disappointing not that I don't like it but..
On our table the price of the same bottle of wine changed which is um "imaginative"?

We spent the last 7 days at this hotel, so let's start when we arrived:-
Parking at the hotel:- we did not have a problem as we were able to park outside the on the roadway, the hotel employees then went out each day and changed the clock which you have to have for parking on Guernsey so did not move my car at all for the full 7 days.
Check in:- We met Aaron who was very effecient and very knowledgeable a credit to the hotel gave us lots of information.
Room:- Although we booked a sea view room when we got there we had been up graded to a different room with no sea view but the room was so nice it did not matter.
Food:- The resteraunt food was lovely although we didn't eat there every night.
Staff:- As I said above Aaron was great always remembered your name, but also the bar staff and others were excellent.
Negatives:- only one the fire/smoke alarm went off twice in a mater of 3/4 days first time was a little concerning, but by the second time when it went off we were asleep quite scary, but both times was due to to people not shutting the bathroom door when using the shower, when we spoke to the receptionist she said they have known about this for the last year, all they need to do is put a notice on the bathroom door.
would we stay here again most definitely loverly relaxing week
