We enjoyed a relaxing few days stay at the OGH. The attention to detail and presentation of the suites / rooms is exceptional.....as is the presentation of the main hotel areas and dining rooms. The staff are to be totally congratulated on this superb standard . They are friendly ,accomodating, highly effecient, knowledgeable and just so 'very nice' , nothing was ever too much trouble.
We thoroughly enjoyed dining and can truthfully recommend both restaurants..... The Governor's Dining Room was a treat of 'fine dining'. The Brasserie equally excellent.
It was just so very enjoyable to have pre dinner drinks in the Sir John Coward sitting room with canapes, a gin and tonic, the Telegraph crossword and a roaring log fire.
Our experience was like staying in a jolly good country house for the weekend BUT with first class amenities!
If you want relaxing first class surroundings, good food, lovely presented luxury bedrooms, attentive staff, and to be totally looked after you can do no better.... My vote is the OGH ! A treat for a few days away or any special occasion....it cannot be faulted.......try it .....you will not regret it !
I'm actually thinking of organising our next "Ladies Luncheon' which happen once a month, and flying a group of us over from Exeter to Guernsey for the day ......A little shopping , VAT free ! and a wonderful lunch at the OGH. I am sure the Manager, Andrew Chantrell will be only to happy to organise this occasion for us. In anticipation , thank you Andrew !...... and may I congratulate you on the high standard, old world luxury charm that you have managed to achieve and maintain at the OGH.

Yet another wonderful visit to Guernsey, for a special occasion which was made extra special by our wonderful stay at the OGH.
We have stayed at the OGH on previous occasions and knothing changes.The staff are friendy,polite and courteous, knothing is to much trouble.The Hotel has a relaxed, but efficient atmosphere, which refects on the standards it has achieved and been rewarded for.
The refurbishment, which is ongoing has provided very elegant and tasteful rooms with excellent facilites.
We are aready to looking forward to our next stay at the OGH.
Best Wishes and Kind Regards

We have just returned from a three night stay at the OGH and felt we must write a review
to spread the word on what a fabulous hotel this is. Firstly the customer service is to be highly commended, with nothing being too much trouble and that goes for every member of staff we encountered. You are made to feel very special and not just a number like many large hotels, by the second day most of the staff were refering to us by name. We booked a suit and what a treat that was with fine tasteful decor with old world charm, very spacious and clean with a huge bed. The food was excellent too we had also booked the degustation menu which is a seven course dinner with wine to match every course...one word Sumptuous a very special evening indeed one which we would recommend to anyone who enjoys the fine dining experience. The brasserie was excellent too even though we were within easy walking distance of the town we ate at the hotel all three nights again with excellent service and waiter recommendations. After a days walking the coast which was beautiful by the way we arrived back at the hotel to a well deserved afternoon tea, another option not to missed full of sumptuous elegance. The location of the hotel is also a bonus just a short walk down into St Peters Port with many shops, a large harbour and castle so a car is not neccesary although we did hire one for 2 days (arranged by the hotel) so we could see all the sights and get around the coast. All in all a lovely three days on a beautiful little island full of charm and romance. This hotel really is a hidden gem and we would highly recommend it to anyone. We would like to thank all staff and management for giving us such a memorable experience. We will be back soon.

We were made to feel special from the moment we arrived. Our was parked for us, luggage taken to our room and a personal guided tour of the hotel. Although our double room was a bit on the small side, the comfortable bed, luxurious towels and special extras certainly made up for this. A special Birthday cake was delivered to our room on the exact day which was such a surprise. The seven course meal in the fine dining restaurant was excellent and the staff were so attentive. This was a luxurious hotel which was in no way pretentious. We were made to feel 'at home' and part of a big warm family. What more could you want!

An excellent hotel with a level of service that is exceptional. great food and wines, comfortable room and a welcome that is designed to enhance your stay. for that special occasion the restaurant is just perfect, intimate with discreet service that tends to every need, we had the seven course degustation menu which was delicious. Ideally situated just a short stroll to the shopping area and harbour, parking is not the easiest but valet parking is offered and was gratefully accepted. This is a superb country house hotel in the middle of a busy little town, but the peace and quiet it provided made our stay ideal when we needed to chill out.

I cannot describe sufficiently well enough, what a wonderful hotel and staff at the OGH are.
The room(s) were superb quality, an added surprise as we had booked via Airmiles.
The meals in the brasserie were top quality and the attention to detail exemplary.
My husband was taken to hospital with a suspected heart attack during our stay and the staff treated me with extreme kindness, more like a family member than a stranger in their midst. Nothing was too much trouble for them; sorting out my travel arrangements, taking me to and from the hospital daily and transferring me and all my luggage to our next destination. Thank you so, so much. A very high quality establishment, much to recommend to any one. (Yes my husband has recovered, thank you.)

My partner & I flew over from the South Coast for a long w-end break and found this delightful Spa Hotel five minutes walk up the Hill from the Port at St Peters. Charming & elegant in every way. Hand picked staff made us feel very relaxed and welcome. Simply....Turn up, Sign in, and Tune out of the hustle & bustle of your daily routine. Try Guernsey travel Service for booking the complete package. We found this very competetive. We will go back !! A & W from Bournemouth.
