In January 2012, Andrew N said about St Pierre Park Hotel
We enjoyed a May Bank holiday on the lovely island of Guernsey. We stayed at the St Pierre Park which overall was very good. Its only real drawback is that it is somewhat outside the centre of St Peter Port, but it has many facilities on site that more than make up for this. The mini-golf, pool and jacuzzi made up for the walk to and from the centre of the capital. We arrived a little early and the receptionist seemed able to cope, even though our rooms were not quite ready. Food in the restaurant promised much but sadly delivered little of that promise and as there are many excellent restaurants in St Peter Port we would suggest trying elsewhere.

I took my fiancee to St. Pierre Park hotel just for one night as a treat and we had a lovely stay. The room was very nice, massive bed and great views looking over the garden. The staff were very attentive and helpful and we enjoyed the spa facilities. The only downside was the food as we went half board, which is good value for money considering their prices. The starter was very disappointing and they really struggled to cook our spinach for our mains, we had to send it back twice! Many of the tables around us were also complaining about their meals which didn't make for a great atmosohere. The food really lets this beautiful hotel down.

Generally a well appointed hotel with adequately furnished and equipped room, if on the smallish side, in what seemed to be a spur off the main building. We had a 2nd floor room with a view overlooking a play area (the main lake being to the right hand side by the main bar/bistro).
We spent several evenings sitting out on the terrace of the bistro/bar and enjoyed good quality evening meals there although the range offered was limited. We found the main restaurant expensive and it failed to meet our expectations for quality (so we didnt return there).We were disappointed with the breakfast self-service arrangements and felt that they compared much less favourably in terms of quality to other hotels we had stayed in.
The principal disadvantage we found was that the hotel was situated towards the centre of Guernsey and we had long walks to get anywhere else.
We didnt care much for St. Peter Port as it had the aura of most seaside places and was over used - unsurprisingly of course as its the main centre. We did find the old cliff top military battery nearby interesting and worth a visit.
Decent beaches are on the other side away from the town and the hotel and I was singularly disappointed at the lack of a more rural environment as the place seems to be one of an endless 'ribbon' of buildings along the roadside.
However, I did get the best wholemeal crab sandwich I have had in many a long year in Cobo Bay which rather made it the best thing that happened to me on the island!
It was a peaceful place but I do not think we would stay there again as there must be better places in better locations.

We have just spent a week at this hotel and had a lovely time. The staff were very welcoming and pleasant, the room was comfortable and was of a good standard. We didn't use the spa but understand that it is of an excellent standard. It takes about 20 mins to walk to St Peter Port up a few hills. The only down side for us was the quality of the food , although nothing was bad we felt you could get a much better deal both quality and price wise away from the hotel. Overall a very enjoyable week.

Bought by my son and daughter for my birthday, we visited for a long weekend. Arrived at 0.900, 4 hours before check - in time. Reception was excellent, booked us in and stored our luggage while we found our way round Guernsey for the day. Concierge service was very helpful and the staff were great fun. The hotel was first class, with first class rooms and excellent facilities. Food was superb. We will definitely be back.

My wife and I stayed at St Pierre Park for a week in June/July. The hotel has some real strengths - the staff were friendly and helpful, the grounds/gardens are very pleasant and the newly refurbished gym and pool are excellent, there is a new spa too, though we did not use it. Breakfast was plentiful and varied and there are several other eating options for lunch and dinner (one - the pavilion - operated as a separate business) and we were very happy with the food and service in all of them. Our gripes were minor really - our second floor balcony was small - lower floors seemed better in this respect, the noise insulation from external noise wasn't great (though the location meant that it was always quiet at night) and the main restaurant, though offering excellent food and service, was very quiet both times we ate there and rather lacked atmosphere.
Overall though the hotel had a nice "feel" for a large establishment and we would certainly be happy to stay there again if we return to the island.

A very relaxing stay at this hotel. Excellent food in the restaurant served by a very attentive staff. The whole experience cannot be recommended too highly. The only slight downside is a lack of air conditioning in the bedrooms.

We needed a base for a full week whilst undertaking a scoping project of Guernsey and the smaller islands.
The hotel staff welcomed us in earlier than the check in time to make sure we could leave our bags etc whilst we went to our first meeting.
The staff in any area of the hotel couldn't possibly be more polite or genuinely trying to do everything they could to make the stay as comfortable as possible.
The room was spotless, the hotel is very quiet at night and the bed was one of the best I have ever slept in.
What a joy of a hotel - can't fault it!

Spent Thursday to Sunday at this wonderful hotel in May .
The hotel was first class with a restaurant on the lower level with decking over looking the grounds and lake ,and on the upper floor a bar with the same views serving bar meals lunch and evening ,afternoon tea plus morning tea and coffee.
so something for all.
The Spa with treatments, swimming pool and out door spa and indoor sauna over looking the gardens.
Such a relaxing time and staff were very welcoming .

We come to Guernsey twice a year. We have family here but we love to stay in Hotels.
We came for Lunch at the St. Pierre on our last visit and decided to give it a whirl this time.
In our opinion it is a Corporate Hotel. Great for Business Travellers and Conferences.
As frequent visitors to Guernsey and frequent guests of 5 star Hotels, I think we'd say :
It's not what we would class as 5-star. It lacks the finesse of other 5-star Hotels.
The staff are generally friendly enough. Although the Spa staff have a practiced air of snobbery and disdain.
The Hair Salon is not open at the weekend.
Food service finishes at 10pm. The Room Service Menu continues for a short time after 10pm but is limited to Sandwiches.
We returned after a dreadful meal at 10:15pm hoping for Desserts and Digestifs - only to be disappointed. We could have the drinks but not the Pudding. I'm not sure how hard it is to scoop some Guernsey Ice Cream into a Bowl?
It's pleasant. It's clean. It's Corporate. The Spa is lovely.
We look forward to returning to the Fermain Valley Hotel next visit.
