My Mom And Dad about five weeks ago booked a four day break to The Duke Of Richmond hotel,
They stayed for four nights from the 13th of July I have just picked them up from the airport and both are beaming with the love of the great break that just have both in their seventies (recycled Teenages lol)
Had a smashing time could not praise the team who work and manage this place enough they spoilt my parents rotten as on Saturday it was my dads 71st Birthday then the Sunday was their 51st wedding anniversary may I say thank you myself,
Knowing my dad has Alzheimer’s and struggles the team was perfect and to hear him say that means a lot I think your part of the world is a fantastic escape for people to treat them self to
A bit of time back,
Sharon at TU travel was perfect in her suggestion of the best of British Chanel island
Kind regards

A very nice clean hotel , parking is a little on the sparse side but the hotel give you a clock card which you can use all over the island for parking.
The bathroom had an unusual blue light which you could not turn off (weird) , but that aside the room was cleaned every day with towels replaced if you put your dirty ones in the bath.
The bed was comfortable but please do something with those pillows, 2 pillows and as soon as you put your head on them they went flatter than pancakes , not a very good night's sleep.
On our first night bottles of complimentary water were left but we had no more for our remaining 3 nights .
The breakfast was very good , there is a good choice of things to have , from the cold buffet to the full English.
The staff were all very pleasant and professional.
I would definitely stay here again if i return to Guernsey.
Thanks to all the staff for making our stay so pleasurable.
I would have given 5 stars but for those pillows.

Very special interior. It's a matter of your taste. Especially the atmosphere in the restaurant was not to my taste. Breakfast buffet small & unorganised, staff acting rather unorganised, quality of food medium.
Took the staff 2 days to make run the TV in our room. All in all too expensive.

Our annual visit this year was much earlier in the year than normal(march rather than september)and did not disappoint.apart from the usual immediate friendly welcome from the staff(old and new friends)the highlight had to be the newly introduced FIVE DAYS OF FLAMBE which has been introduced to The Brasserie restaurant.featuring a different course each night wednesday to sunday,cooked to order in the centre of the restaurant.having watched and been entertained by this fantastic feature,needless to say the anticipation and aromas eminating left us drooling.our empty plates once eaten were testiment to the quality and cooking technique of all involved.

I have stayed here on more than one occasion & have found attention to detail lacking on more than one occasion. I think guests should be offered refreshment on arrival..many will have travelled some distance to get here. My request for champagne to be delivered to the room was not honoured despite it being ordered several days in advance and finally, the requests made on the hotel pre arrival form were overlooked.

Just returned from a wonderful truly luxurious few days at OGH The hotel is truly 5*in every way, the food is excellent, the rooms unique in every way and the attention you receive from all the staff is first class. Everyone lives up to the Red Carnation moto no request to small. Only one small watch out is that St Peters Port is quite hilly therefore you need to be able to get around otherwise it will be taxis' s all the way. Ogh and Guernsey great place to visit.

Visited Guernsey for a day but was unexpectedly fogged in so stayed for one night at this historic and very luxurious hotel. Staff professional. Room and bathroom spacious and tastefully decorated. Breakfast was excellent. Unfortunately didn't have time to use the spa which was a shame. Can thoroughly recommend this hotel.

This was one of the most memorable hotels I have stayed in. My wife and I stayed three nights as part of a package through HAY TRAVEL. It was fantastic. From the minute we stepped through the door we felt very special. Our bags were whisked away to our room and we enjoyed a glass of ice cold house bubbly before joining them. The hotel team, from Henry to the room cleaning staff were very attentive. I can't find anything at all to complain about other than we wish we had stayed a little longer. The hotel didn't arrange very good weather either ... :-) Well done everyone. Your smiling assistance makes a great stay absolutely wonderful.

Without a doubt. This is one of the Red Carnation group hotels and I have stayed in their Montague on the Gardens hotel in Bloomsbury, London as well as the Summer Lodge in Dorset. It also made the Sunday Times one of the best companies to work for. It never fails to please. I don't really know where to start other than the hotel arranged a taxi for us as we were arriving on Good Friday for the Easter weekend, and bags were taken to the room by the concierge/porter. The staff are fantastic, the bar is delightful with live piano music at times although we did find our meal on the Friday evening was a bit cold. The classic marks of the RC group are things like sanitising the remote controls (look at some in other hotels!), different sockets for all types of electric plug, mini-fridges to borrow, shoe cleaning and a DVD player. We spent our days out of the hotel and ate elsewhere in the evenings, but breakfast is absolutely fabulous. If you haven't had the breakfast hash you must try it. There is a small criticism: I would like a bigger kettle; I would also like small mugs rather than small cups. Also connecting the DVD player actually took not only the porter but my husband too. In other words it is a two-person job. Very difficult to do if you are alone. I love it here and if we were to return, I would not consider going anywhere else on Guernsey.

One of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. The staff exceeded all expectations, ensuring we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Dinner was delicious and very reasonable priced. They provided extra touches - such as a cake for my Mother's Birthday - which made her stay. The whole experience felt very personable and special, just what you want when staying away.
I would highly recommend to anyone looking to stay in Guernsey and I cannot wait to return.
