Fine Dining Restaurants in Channel Islands
The Old Government House Hotel & Spa has a wide range of options for fine dining at any time of the day from breakfast through lunch, to afternoon tea or evening meals. Guernsey only five star hotel contains The Brasserie Restaurant overlooking private gardens and St. Peter Port Harbour, The Curry Room which is Guernsey's finest Indian restaurant, The Olive Grove which is the only restaurant in St. Peter Port with its own garden for al fresco dining with a sea view, The Centenary Bar and the Sir John Coward Lounge for drinks or afternoon tea. Adjacent to the hotel is The Crown Club where you can enjoy a light or cold meal with a wide range of alcoholic beverages while socialising with friends and colleagues in either the bar, orangery-style conservatory or outside terraces.

We booked a 60 minute full body massage each and upgraded for £10 to use the spa totalling £180.
The massage was top notch. You are offered a deep tissue, Hawaiian or Swedish. I chose deep tissue and the technique of the masseuse was excellent. I Turku felt relaxed and my back felt great.
I was however disappointed by the condition of the spa. My shower drain was loose in the shower, the head of the shower coming off, the locker Wood was hanging off. It was clean and we were the first people in that day. The massage beds did elevate which was nice and the heated bed worked.
For a 5 star spa the attention to detail needs to be better. During the massage there was no warm blanket, just a white towel over the body so you got cold. So your under body was warm but you too and feet were freezing. The relax room had the pool pump next to it which was loud and the hot water came from a plastic kettle. St Pierre have a plumbed in instant hot water tap which is where a 5 star should be.
I also had to listen and watch the reception staff speak in their native tongue whilst eating their lunch. I’d suggest closing the door to allow for the opulent 5 star experience.
For anyone driving there is outside parking on a 1 hour limit but most likely these will be taken if you go midday. Guernsey parking in town is a challenge and 1 hour isn’t enough for a treatment.
This is a place to get an amazing massage, but an all day relaxing spa, it needs work and attention to detail to create the relaxing ambience you get from a 5 star spa.
