Went with the good lady for a quick last minute getaway. Was looking for somewhere quiet, all the spa bits, good food and not over run with convention and business folk at breakfast, or running up and down the corridors at midnight. And I must say, it does the job nicely. Breakfast is superb, fresh buffet, proper sausages and fresh eggs or more fruit and yogurt and warm pastries than you can shake a stick at. Only served until 9.30 a.m. though, so if you're looking for a late one, it's going to be room service which again has an excellent all round menu. The breakfast room is being refurbished at the mo, but you wouldn't know it as breakfast is served in the main restaurant and there is no noise or mess, so don't let the thought of refurbishment put you off. Yes, there are conferences during the day but being a small island I guess most of the delegates go home after. As a precaution I phoned the hotel in advance and requested a quiet room, which was no bother for them and we got one. The bed was brand new, the room clean and for the entire stay, we didn't hear a thing. No banging doors, no snoring in the room next door, no chatter or running in the corridors, no flushing of toilets and no hearing the neighbors conversations..excellent. The pool is great, however I would say the changing room set up is strange and the separate male/female sauna/steam rooms disappointing, I guess if you are a looking for time away from the opposite sex it's ideal. One thing I would say, is that the website does nothing for the setting, it's lovely and peaceful set in the enclosed grounds leading from the lake up to the golf course. The golf shop and clubhouse of which is away from the hotel itself. Parking is excellent also. We went by Condor ferry from Weymouth and left the car at home. You really don't need one, the island is so well serviced by buses and at a pound a trip you really can't grumble. The bus stop is almost outside the front door (outside Waitrose which is useful) and runs every 15 mins into town (5mins). It's walkable but again you may as well jump on the bus. (Tip: If you intend taking the bus trip around the island, keep your ticket from the hotel to the main bus terminal and present it when you board the next bus around the island. You won't pay another pound. That's value!) The only criticism I did have of the hotel was that at dinner they do not ban the use of mobile phones in the formal Victor Hugo dining room. A real shame as a lovely peaceful or romantic dinner is ruined by some ignorant so and so, and the staff when asked, do nothing about it. There is a separate informal dining room area and bar in which to conduct business or chat to friends on the phone. Overall a very relaxing stay, cheerful, welcoming and very accommodating. I would recommend for business or pleasure.

I have stayed at the hotel many time on business over the past 5 years. Generally staff are polite, the rooms are a little dated and tired (the bathrooms were revamped a while back) but have seen no issues with cleanliness. Location of the rooms vary and can be quite noisy when placed at the back of the hotel (overlooking the car park) as these are close to the air con units, or those that are near to the road.
Since Hand Picked took over little changes have taken place such as irons and ironing board are now in each room, tea & coffee in the room has changed.
Breakfast is a very large selection of fruit, cereals and cooked and is of a good standard.
Having previously had negative experiences with the bar food, I have not eaten in the hotel (with the exception of breakfast), for well over a year.
As this is business I do not get an option to stay anywhere else however I am sure there are better and worse hotels in St Peter Port

Stayed for one week business. Surprised that I could hear the person next door blowing his nose like if he was standing next to me. Restaurant menu is weird and food not very good. Staff is from eastern countries and not very helpful or friendly. Wifi although offered keeps disconnecting every 5 minutes and the hotel in general is falling to paces. However rooms are clean and the beds comfortable.

Great staff, lovely room and great value. Breakfast was great and nothing was too much trouble. Comfortable, spotless room with well equipped bathroom and great shower. I would definitely stay there on my next trip to Guernsey.

Just spent a delightful five days at this spa hotel. Many thanks to S, F and P and their respective teams whose professional, polished and sensitive approach to their guests ensured that not only was our Christmas break the low key affair we wanted but at the same time quite special in meeting all of our needs. If I was going to 'nit pick' then it would simply be to say this: there was a little inconsistency with the service at breakfast when our toast and hot drinks arrived as we were finishing our breakfast. This only occurred when we sat along the side of the restaurant not in the middle or by the window. Also what is the issue with black pepper? We continually struggled to get hold of it in the first place. Why can't the pepper mills just be put on the table? Minor points I know but the pepper thing became a 'bug bear' as the week progressed. It didn't spoil our visit but for us it was the difference between good and outstanding. I'm sure that these minor inconsistencies can be sorted with relative ease and look forward to returning to your delightful hotel in the future.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas break at St Pierre Park! From the bedrooms; to the food, staff hospitality and organised trips, the entire experience was wonderful.
We were particularly impressed with the level of attentiveness of the core staff, which made the experience all the more special.
The selection and quality of the food at all meals was also excellent.
We will definitely return to St Pierre Park in the future! Thank you for a Christmas to remember!

We have just returned from a five-night Christmas Break at this four-star hotel and the experience simply could not have been better. The rooms are large with plenty of storage, the bathrooms similar. The food was outstanding. Christmas Day buffet lunch included turkey, goose, lamb, gammon, duck, pork and beef so it was very hard to choose. Meals were accompanied by a keyboard player with absolute mastery of the instrument and an astonishing repertoire of songs. His voice was gentle and perfect for the occasion. Above all of this, however, was the incredibly friendly and helpful attitude of the staff. Altogether a brilliant break and in our case outstanding value as the price include our flight from Gatwick and car hire while we were there.

We booked a 5 night Christmas stay and were not disappointed. The food was of high quality despite the high number of servings. The staff were excellent including the men/ladies in suits who mucked in as required. The room was standard fare, adequate but nothing special. Nice large towels though which we appreciate. Minor grumble would be the price of wine and the lack of a real ale in the bar.
Not an issue for the hotel but Guernsey is basically closed during the winter so don't be deceived by the "a resort for all year tourist advertisements".

Our party of four had a splendid time at this hotel. The rooms were very smart, beds extremely comfortable and the standard of cleaning was excellent.
We were most impressed with the wonderful welcome - champagne and canapes and it was a splendid touch to be introduced to many of the staff. I cannot speak highly enough of the staff, they were always most professional and nothing was too much trouble. We liked the idea of the themed evening meals and particularly enjoyed the French evening. The musical entertainment was most pleasant and ideal while we were eating. Christmas dinner was very enjoyable an enormous effort had been made to give us a special day. We liked the walk but would have enjoyed it more had there been more commentary ie landmarks pointed out and time to explore the fort rather than a rush to the pub. We can thoroughly recommend this hotel. It is a shame that the locals do not seem to appreciate how much work has gone in to upgrading and improving it. I am sure that in the summertime the beautiful gardens so immaculately kept would be a joy to sit out in. Congratulations to all!
Be aware that if you travel round the island by car your satnav may play tricks on you!
