NOT a 5* experience I’m afraid.
The TV in our room broke after a few hours and wasn’t able to be fixed for the duration of our stay.
There was a large rust patch IN the Bath!
Early morning paper never arrived!
Lock on room was faulty and we consequently locked out of our room.
On the positive side the staff were attentive at all times. And the breakfast meals were very tasty.
All in all VERY disappointing and NOT the 5* experience we had hoped for:(

In October 2022, Diane d said about Gower
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.

Would like to extend our thanks to Richard and his team for quickly getting a private room and breakfast organised for a party of 35. Sofia and Fernando were also exemplary in their service, very polite, very attentive.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and will certainly recommend to others.

We had a double room which was really lovely and a great ensuite. This is such a great hotel because as well as being so centrally located and within walking distance of most of St Peter Port the staff are amazing and nothing is too much trouble for them. Been a while since we have been here due to Covid but will be back again.

In October 2022, Tracey W said about St Pierre Park Hotel
The staff were very welcoming, friendly and helpful in every area of service, they are a real credit to the hotel. The breakfast buffet was bounteous but as I am coeliac I ordered off the menu, which was also included in the price, and the breakfasts I had were delicious and beautifully cooked. Our room, the Guernsey Suite, was spacious with a lovely sitting room and kitchenette. The bed was very comfortable. The only minor point I would make, which did not detract from our stay, is that the decor was a little tired and in need of updating in style.

In October 2022, Jackie H said about St Pierre Park Hotel
A short stay in July and I cannot fault anything.
I was a single traveller and initially was put in a room with a connecting door. Not ideal but the occupants next door and I said hello in the corridor and all was ok. That was until change over and my new 'neighbours' decided to try the door!
I spoke with the Duty Manager (a wonderful man) and was moved immediately. The only room available was a deluxe and I was not charged extra for the reminder of my stay.
Both rooms I had were absolutely fine. Both were more than adequate; hairdryer, iron/board, fridge, tea/coffee, hot chocolate, water still & sparkling, bathroom was huge with wonderful smelling toiletries. Both had view's of the grounds.
The only difference in the rooms were that the deluxe had air conditioning, a coffee machine, dressing gowns and slippers.
House keeping staff were friendly, a morning 'hello' and extremely helpful.
I only had breakfast at the hotel and again the teams were fantastic. As a single traveller they try and sit you near the window so you don't feel your in a goldfish bowl! Very thoughtful. One morning I wanted to take breakfast to go, a wonderful waiter fetched a container so I could 'grab & go'!
Didn't use the pool but did use the gym. It's a little out dated and could do with an overhaul but I could still manage a workout.
I use to live on Guernsey so know of the hotel over many years. Having now stayed there as a guest, would I recommend, definitely

In October 2022, Fred Talbot said about St Pierre Park Hotel
Although a little faded in places this is a most pleasant hotel and the staff were just terrific going out of their way to be helpful. Sitting out on the terrace overlooking the lake in the warm Guernsey sunshine was superb and the bar prices very reasonable.
We used the pool every morning at 7.0am and enjoyed the sauna, steam room and outside hot tub. Lovely towels were provided and the showers in the changing rooms were great.
BUT we made the mistake of going half board rather than walking into town to eat. We often had to wait up to an hour after ordering for food to arrive. I am vegetarian and with the menu not changing all week I was very limited.
On two nights they made a dhal just for me but on the last night I had a bowl of chips and some rather overcooked onion rings. Not what you would expect from a four star hotel.
The breakfasts were excellent most mornings but warmed plates were a rare thing and twice I was served rock hard poached eggs.
A hotel that you will enjoy staying at but do not go half board.

Lovely hotel, pool and spa. Spacious room with large and comfortable bed, nice balcony, fairly quiet. Friendly reception staff, only gripe was breakfast served at 7am which isn’t convenient for some business users like myself, needs to be earlier even if continental.
