This was the first time I have stayed here and I have tried many hotels on the island. As most of the other reviews mention, the staff were very attentive & nothing was too much trouble. The bed & duvet was extremely comfortable & the rooms beautifully decorated. The only disappointment was the bathroom. The shower wasn't great & the bath towels quite small & thin. This however wouldn't put me off returning on my next visit.

Our room was a standard double which appeared rather small when I looked at the pictures of the room on the hotel's website. I though it must be just a optical aberration.... but no, it was that tight... I didn't see any other rooms so maybe they are a bit roomier. that being said I couldn't fault the hotel on anything else! the room was nicely decorated, quiet air conditioner, free safe, nice big flat screen TV, the queen size bed was comfy, nice big pillows and the bathroom well stocked with toiletries. The staff were great! nothing was too much trouble! They were polite, friendly and just interested enough to make you feel like they cared without being overbearing or false. The hotel is located about ten minutes walk from the port with a bit of a climb, but then you get the benefit of being away from town traffic and hence not too noisey should you want to lie in. The hotel has a small pool which is heated, so usuable regardless of the outside air temperature. We only had breakfast as far as meals were concerned at the hotel, but these were great! Plenty of fresh fruit, juices, cheeses, cold meats, Danish pastries.... and a range of cooked breakfasts ranging from the traditional full english to smoked salmon, kippers, pancakes and waffles all cooked fresh and to order! I would definiately stay here again!

First time I've been since the hotel has been re-furished, wow!!! The lobby is stunning and it doesn't disappoint anywhere else. A warm welcome and a stunning, sumptious room, everything you could possibly need. The bar is unusual and classy. The breakfast was really good in the lovely restaurant. The little touches, like sweets in the lobby make such a difference. It isn't cheap but for once you do get what you pay for. Hope they get their well deserved fifth star soon.

Took my 82 year old mother for a short break. The hotel was fantastic with the best service I have ever experienced! My mother agreed, even better than her cruise on the QE2 was her words. The attention to detail and thoughtfulness was first class, including parking the car for me each day!!!

My husband and I had a lovely 2 nights here in a King room. The restaurant was spot on, stylish, fast service (all the staff were so attentive) and delicious food. We had lunch on the terrace overlooking the pool, we had afternoon tea (scones were wonderful), we enjoyed a continental buffet followed by a cooked breakfast and my husband made use of the free sweets near reception :)
If I were forced to make a suggestion it would be that the towels in the bathroom were quite small. however it didn't detract from a lovely stay. We had a hire car and the concierge team took great care of it, parking it for us, and ensuring they kept moving it so we never got a ticket :) They brought it back whenever we needed it.
I'm sure we will return.

This hotel has recently been refurbished to a high standard. It isn't cheap but you get what you pay for - luxury. The rooms are spotless with large comfy bed, maybe a few too many cushions though that seems to be a feature of good hotels these days. Crucially, in the heat of this summer, there is airconditioning. The ensuite is well provided with fluffy towels, larger than average soaps and lots of shampoo, bodywash etc. Hot water, of course. Staff are most helpful, particularly front desk and concierge who will book tours and taxis happily. There is a lounge with newspapers and magazines and good sized pool, which provides cool drinks free. You can also sit on the terrace above the pool, which also has tables out for dining. The restaurant itself has another two areas, a main part and a conservatory. The breakfast is splendid and hot food, which you order, comes quickly. The lunch and dinner menus, especially the evening specials, are very good.
The position of the hotel, almost in the Candie gardens, and a short walk to the harbour or shops, is excellent. There is also a convenience store just across the road. Highly recommended.

Changing Accountants is in the bracket of divorce, moving house and changing your hairdresser of which you seek to select to your best ability albeit with recommendations. Our experience with de Garis Accountancy has been outstanding and we would recommend any one to move to them. In these difficult times as a small business they have been by our side and always worked in our best interest. We give them a 10 out of 10.

Had a recent break staying at the Maison Gorey on Jersey. Fantastic weather for October.
The guest house is within easy walking distance of Gorey centre, where there are several excellent places to eat. However, just around the corner from the Maison Gorey is the Bass & Lobster restaurant, so we ate here on a couple of occasions. Excellent food; excellent service. The scallops were divine!

My wife is on a gluten/wheat free diet which makes casual eating out quite difficult.
When we booked the Bass and Lobster, I was asked if we had any special dietary requirements, (which is quite unusual) and said my wife needed gluten free.
When we arrived we were shown to our table, given menus to browse and talked through the extensive specials board. My wife read through the menu and said she was worried she couldn’t see much that was suitable for her or that she would like. Just then, the waitress came over, asked if she was right in noting that my wife needed gluten free and proceeded to talk through the menu and advising on which dishes were either gluten free or could be adapted - e.g. traditional fish and chips but the fish would be grilled rather than fried in batter and other adaptations of their dishes. This was very, very welcome as we are new to the gluten free diet and it made such a difference to our dining experience. Then to crown the experience, she was brought a warm gluten free ‘bread’ roll, which she said was very tasty.
Equally important is that the food was very, very good too. I had one of the specials as a starter, dressed crab, which was full of flavour, and then the best piece of liver I can remember. My wife had ostrich as her main course, which she was uncertain about when ordering, but thoroughly enjoyed it and we will look out for this as an alternative to steak.
All in all a really enjoyable casual dining experience

This is one of my favourite restaurants on the island, I try to visit whenever I am in Jersey, the food is always excellent with a large choice to cater for all requirements. I went there during Tennerfest, outstanding value, each course was beautiful. I had the best fishcake I have ever had, followed by Trio of pork, which was heavenly and a lovely fruit pavlova.
To compliment the first class food the service is also first class, exceptionally helpful, friendly staff but still remaining professional.
