Lovely hotel.I was shown around by manager on my arrival. Lovely comfortable lounges. An internet room. Cosy bar and a lively bar called the Rock Garden. I had a very lovely room with balcony and sea view. Very comfortable bed.There is a lovely walk through woodland to Fermain Bay where you can join the coast path. Not far from St Peter Port and amenities. There is a complimentary bus service to town and airport. Very obliging porter and all staff were great. Unforgettable stay.

This is the second time I have stayed in this hotel but this time I brought my family with me. We were made to feel welcome upon arrival, and stayed in two rooms, which were secured via a door. This is an excellent option for families with older children who do not want to have the children in the room with them, but want the peace of mind of knowing that they are totally safe and secure. The food was lovely, and they had a fantastic bar menu for the kids - meaning that they could have a tea that they liked even though the main restaurant did not open until later in the evening. The pool is lovely, and perfect for the children after a long walk around the island. There is also a lounge with a toy box (I am sorry that we may have left a few toys scattered around the place). The best feature though was the cinema - my boys were able to watch a DVD in a cinema environment, free of charge, with popcorn provided. Nothing was too much trouble. Although it is a bit further out of town, the views and the location are sublime. Would definitely stay there again.

Hi
..visited the island for the first time, my boyfriend booked the hotel since he knows the islands very well being from Jersey himself. I must mention the beautiful well kept immaculate gardens, and the stunning views of the sea and garden from our room. The room itself was very clean, not very big, however with a lovely cottage style decor... Nice bathroom, we spent a while enjoying the sunshine relaxing on the sun loungers on the terrace..or having a lazy lunch on the terrace overlooking gardens..there is also an indoor pool ..which I didn't try...probably only thing I wouldn't want to rate. Also on the morning when we were leaving, there wasn't anyone around to check out...suppose it was a little early at 5 am if I remember correctly. We were the over for the music festival weekend, it was impossible to catch a cab back afterwards...so we walked back...while star gazing ...never had seen so many stars so clearly ! Truly amazing weekend
with my lovely boyfriend John LeCuirot , you choose well! X

We stayed at this Hotel for the 1st time having been to Guernsey several times staying in smaller hotels. The Hotel itself is excellent very clean and the reception staff and maid service excellent, however the waiting staff were poor qaulity I waited 30 minutes just for a pot of tea and toast on the first day I asked the staff 3 times where it was only to be spoken to like an idiot from the blonde haired greasy looking head waitress, 15 minutes wait on the next two days where we decided to forgo the cooked breakfast as it was too much hastle to get it. We also witnessed the head waitress being rude to another lady who asked for porridge it was embaressing for the lady. The Head waitress was only polite to the young single men with whom she could not stop flirting with. The evening waitresses were very good a girl with long blonde hair and a girl with short dark hair they were excellent!

There are some hotels where you feel just at home, this is one of them. On arrival I was shown around by the manager which really helps and should be a standard, makes you feel welcomed and valued. The room was good sized with a balcony which gives a great view of the outdoors. It's on a hill so you can imagine the view. Free internet service and complimentary drinks in the room. Dinner was very tasty and I paid £17 for a 3 course meal, which I beleive is not bad by any standard. Breakfast has a good variety of things to choose from so it's not a let down. It's a shame I only stayed for 1 night but will definitely stay here again and next time try out their cinema and swimming pool which I am sure will meet all my expectations. I wish they had a gym too. I will whole hearted recommend it to anyone visiting Guernsey.

We only stayed for two nights but from the moment we arrived we were very well looked after. The manager was informative and helpful and made sure we knew where all the hotels facilities were. We had a balcony room with a nice sea view. The hotel is set in beautiful gardens and the birdsong was only very occasionally interrupted by the next arrival into Guernsey airport. A large decanter of sherry and bottles of water in the fridge were a nice touch and very welcome after our journey. We ate in the hotel restaurant and thought the food was excellent and good value too. Overall I would definitely recommend this hotel and would happily stay again myself.

Stayed here for 3 nights on a KGB deal,couldn't fault a thing.Everything you could need was there,even a decanter of sherry which was refilled each day! Top quality toiletries,slippers,bathrobes etc.Great view from the rooms with the balcony overlooking Fermain Bay.The rooms located in the Venue are a hill walk through the gardens so not for the disabled.
Breakfast was good with an extensive choice of cereals juices,breads,ham and cheese,as well as cooked breakfast. A great short break was thoroughly enjoyed.Would highly recommend this hotel if you like to impress.

Uncharacteristicly we took a five day break, and re-visited Guernsey after 30 years absence. It had not changed a lot.
We booked at this hotel, based on Trip reviews, and a friend`s recommendation. I spoke to the receptionist who was extremely helpful, as indeed were all the staff. When I mentioned our interest in walking, I was told of a new walking break on offer, and we settled for this. The only comment I would make...and I mentioned it in review on leaving, was that we were promised a booklet with island walks, but all that we were given was a standard tourist map with the walking paths indicated. This was no use. Luckily there was a Cicerone guide in the Hotel library, and we used that for the duration. This was invaluable as it gave in depth details of the routes, and we got so much more out of the stay, as a result. In the 5 days we walked from St Peter Port to Rocquaine Bay. I hope that the hotel will make such a book available to those who go espeially to walk. The coatal paths were empty and beautiful.
The bus system is excellent, and so we could link in our walks using this cheap form of transport, as we had no intention to hire a car. It costs £1 to take the local bus around the island..brilliant.
Our booking, made through the hotel, including flights, was cheaper (re flights from Bristol) than had we booked the flights on our own. Someone was there to meet us, and to take us back to the airport.
We booked at the end of Easter, so had no choice with the rooms, but room 15, one of the top rated rooms was excellent, roomy, light, beautiful bathrooms, very spacious and comfortable bed. It had no balcony,, being in the original house, and I wonder if one of the rooms in the annexe, with balcony, would be a better choice in summer, as that side of the hotel catches the late afternoon/evening sun. The hotel is on the flight path, but of no consequence.
The food was excellent, and good value. Breakfasts offered all one could wish for, whatever one`s taste. The lounges were quiet and restful, and lovely small library. There is a cinema also, but we were too busy walking and eating to have time for that!
The Hotel has a Rock Garden venue, which I suppose may be described as a night club, , loud, tapas style food. It is very popular with the youngsters, especially at week ends, and for the purpose of transporting clients, the hotel runs a mini bas back and forward to St Peter Port from 6pm, and all residents may use the service too. We did not see this fact publicised, and we did not find out about it for a day or two. We went to St PP twice to eat at other restaurants, and were able to catch the 10pm mini bus back, a big plus. We had 2 meals in the dining room, and one in the Rock Garden, though this was not to our taste...a refection of our age!
All in all a super short break, relaxing,welcoming, professional hotel with efficient and friendly staff. We are pleased we chose this hotel.

Platinum room 15 with 6ft double bed with 4ft 6inch duvet leads to problems. Hotel could not resolve so gave us a single duvet each on a 6ft double bed that meant disturbed nights Bathroom lights poor for shaving. Very large bath / shower room, no seat.
The TV was poor, plenty of bright orange people on the screen. Unfortunate position for bath inlet, its so in the way. Tired and grubby armchairs. The room 15 should have lace curtains as completely on show to anybody on terrace of hotel. Room temperature was excessive, what a waste of energy? Resteraunt staff had problems with Englisg language requests. Food was excellent, resteraunt service adequate. Excellent lounge areas. Excellent private cinema. Room care was excellent. For the platinum prices paid we expected better.
