This is the only 5-star hotel in Guernsey. The ethos is one of customer care with attention to detail apparent from the moment you walk in. The room we had was quite small and on the top floor but was perfectly adequate for a night's stay; the views were superb over St. Peter Port and towards the other Channel Islands. We chose not to eat in the restaurant but had a light snack in one of the bars; the food there was excellent and there was plenty of it. Whilst there, we got talking to one of the waiters who was a very polite and well presented young man. The bar also had a professional pianist/vocalist playing who kept guests entertained all evening. What you're paying for at the OGH is quality of service - it's not Guernsey's biggest or cheapest hotel, there's only an outside pool and the parking is a bit cramped but this is all made up for by the unhurried, friendly nature of the staff and their 'nothing's-too-much-trouble' attitude. We will definitely stay here again. Highly recommended.

Returned again this year after such an enjoyable visit last year. The OGH is a fabulous hotel with the highest of standards throughout and you could not wish for more luxury.
It was rather touching to be recognized by some of the staff including the colourful in-house pianist!
It is great credit to Mrs B Tollman for what she has achieved with the ongoing support of her managers and staff.

We booked the OGH as a base to do 6 days coastal walking.
We upgraded to a Queens size room thinking it would give us plenty is space to store our walking equipment etc. The room was beautiful with en-suite bathroom with shower and bath, which again was very plush.
Our only criticism is that the storage space was just a little limited, apart from that the staff, the Maitre D was excellent and very attentive. The food was excellent we used the Brasserie and the Indian restaurant called The Governors room. We used the spa and the swimming pool too all very clean and pool was nice and warm.
We will definitely go back to this Hotel again.
Thank you to all of the staff for our wonderful stay.

Slightly removed from the profusion of harbour-side restaurants in Gorey the affordable Bass and Lobster stands out with a pleasant ambience and original dishes with excellent presentation. My lunch was advertised as "posh" fish and chips and included tempura cod and salmon, prawn and scallops served with a side salad, mushy peas and chips. Everything except the twice cooked chips was excellent and the presentation was outstanding. Not sure why the chips were underwhelming, maybe they could have chosen a more suitable potato?
My wife enjoyed crusted cod with crushed new potatoes and asparagus and said it was all excellent. Her blackberry and apple crumble with cream was very tasty. Guess how I know?
Looking forward to our next visit.

We had a really nice meal here last week - everyone enjoyed it apart from my husband and son who had the fillet steak - they were very disappointed after being told that the fillet was amazing - it was in fact very chewy - but apart from that everything food was good - the restaurant was very busy and the staff were run off their feet - not the usual standard of service we are used to here - so a bit disappointed

We went for my wife's birthday . Had a great meal food amazing . There was a small mistake on one of our meals but they dealt with it really well. Didn't charge us for that one meal and offered us free drinks. Perfect.

My bf and I went here for my birthday and it was a superb meal. We went on a Wednesday night and the restaurant was pretty quiet but we got lovely, friendly service. We had the sharing platter to start (goats cheese, chicken pate, onion rings, chorizo etc) and it was amazing. We then had the special steak with lobster tails and it was honestly one of the best main courses I have ever had, and the best steak I have eaten in Jersey. Slightly disappointing was the dessert menu as there was not a massive selection however we had a really nice bottle of Prosecco (the waiter put cherries in the glasses which Ive never seen before) and there was no rush to get rid of us from the restaurant, even though it was quiet. Cant wait to go back again soon!

We had never been to this restaurant before as I'd always thought it was a mainly fish restaurant and that wouldn't be my preference. We bought a deal as a friend kept telling me that there was plenty of choice. We had a set menu for £26.50 - spoilt for choice. I had a goats cheese, beetroot and walnut salad to start, then the burger with chorizo - the chips were hand cut which is always a good sign. Then the beautiful dessert of Snickers eton mess - yummy. Hubby had a sticky toffee pudding which I had to try and was equally good. The staff could smile a bit more but they were busy. We will definitely be going back again.
