The Crown Club is one of the most popular cocktail bars in Guernsey. This comfortable establishment also has a glass-walled tasting room specially designed for wine tasting, private parties and corporate events.
This place is pure class. Barmen are superb and do some great cocktails. The atmosphere inside, on the balcony, at the bar or outside on the terrace are all great. A place to relax and savour. Really enjoyed it.

The Old Government House Hotel & Spa sits in the heart of St Peter Port and is Guernsey’s only five-star hotel. Renowned for its superb cuisine and impeccable service amid opulent surroundings. Featuring elegant classical architecture, the hotel boasts fine dining, state-of-the-art event facilities, a luxurious spa, a fully equipped gym, and a collection of individually styled rooms and suites.
We recently visited Guernsey for the first time, staying nine nights, at the OGH Hotel.
Firstly, all the staff were fantastic. Everyone was cheerful, professional with a high level of customer service. We did find, on the odd occasion, in the bar area, that they were overstretched which led to a long wait to order a drink or food, but we could see that they were working flat out. The valet parking is a nice touch and our room was cleaned and tidied thoroughly every day. On returning to the hotel each time we had been out, we were always greeted warmly.
Our king room had a very comfortable super king bed, was a good size overall and was well equipped. We were at the back of the hotel overlooking the kitchen area which, although slightly disappointing, was understandable as we hadn’t booked ‘a view’. There was a background hum from outside fans, but we didn’t really notice this after the first day or so.
What we did feel, however, was that the room, being in this position in the hotel, should have been decorated in brighter colours or light, neutral tones, as those king rooms shown on the website are. Ours was all dark browns and dark beiges, with heavy brown curtains, making it feel unwelcoming and without a lot of natural light due to its position and net curtain over the bottom half of the window. It just didn’t make us feel 5 star and ‘uplifted’ each time we entered it, which was a shame.
Breakfast in the Brasserie, which was light and airy, was excellent, with a wide choice, particularly of cooked options. We also ate several times in the bar area, the Olive Grove and the Brasserie, in the evening, and the food was very good.
The pool area is sheltered with comfortable sun loungers, although these did get full, on occasion, as our weather was hot and sunny.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay and the hotel clearly has a large, returning customer base, but it didn’t quite feel 5 star for us, mainly due to our room.
Moving forward, I think thought needs to be given to how the hotel maintains the ‘old world, traditional charm and decor’ that many of the returning guests obviously love, balanced with making it feel fresher, lighter, brighter and updated in some areas.

Gower is locally owned and operated and specialise in providing pensions, investments and life insurance to individuals and companies in the Bailiwick of Guernsey. Our experienced team of advisers provide holistic financial planning that is designed to help our clients meet their financial goals as they go through life, from setting up a first pension to investing money or drawing benefits from pensions later in life. Together with our in-house Trust Company, we aim to get to know our clients and build a trusted relationship so that we can provide them with advice over the long term.
As a business we decided we wished to implement a corporate pension scheme for our staff, that will be compliant with the secondary pension regime. We were very pleased with the solution offered by Gower, and the way it has been delivered. We like the use of an app, where staff can self manage their pension if they wish, or just check on their pension.
We can choose between investment management options, including green funds which was an important factor to our firm.
We appreciated the free initial consultations explaining the process, and the all staff sessions to ensure a smooth onboarding process with the Gower team dealing with all the queries.
We also use Gower for the corporate medical scheme, via thebestof, and find them excellent to deal with on that front too, which helped drive our decision to use Gower for our pension scheme too.
