Introduced my visitors to Bury's not so hidden gem!
They were very impressed. Gorgeous ice cream at a very reasonable price.
My grandchildren were thrilled to see the cows goats and donkeys close up.
I would give this place 10 stars if I could.

Stayed for 4 nights in early December on a shopping sightseeing trip from the Mainland. Meals were excellent , even though drinks rather overpriced. All staff were excellent and couldn't do enough for you.
We had a Queen room which was well equipped but rather small. The bathroom had a separate shower which is always a plus but sadly no toiletries were near the bath, so if shampoo was needed whilst having a bath one had to get out and go to shower.
There was also a blue light in the bathroom which we never discovered how to turn it off, so it was always on even throughout the night.
Rooms over the function rooms can also be a little noisy at night.
Over all a good experience but, allowing non assist dogs in the main eating areas is a no no for me. Sorry.

I cannot begin to tell you how absolutely amazing the staff are in The OGH. I’ve never experienced anything like it!
Everyone was so helpful and cheerful. They couldn’t do enough for you.
As soon as you walk into reception and are greeted by front of house you feel incredibly welcome.
Byron in the restaurant was exemplary- what a star!
I feel terrible but I didn’t catch the barman’s name - but he quietly took such care and pride in producing his cocktails for us each evening. A credit to the hotel.
The rooms were serviced brilliantly twice a day. The staff who carried it out were always lovely and cheerful.
Red Carnation have the service totally spot on!

My husband and I went for a meal last night at the OGH as we had a gift voucher for three courses each with wine. The food was beautiful, and the service was perfect. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive, and very willing to take a photo of us! I can’t have wine and they were very accommodating (I had advised in advance). The only shame is how quiet it was there (although we appreciated that!).

We had a voucher for a wine tasting evening, the staff, particularly Wyne, were attentive, knowledgeable and so engaged and friendly. We would highly recommend this experience!! Ask to be served in the wine tasting room on booking if you are a small/intimate party. 110% effort even thought it was just 2 of us and we were paying both voucher.

We headed to the Curry Room for a date night before our next baby, and had the most wonderful evening. The curries were delicious, we especially enjoyed being able to try a selection so many things on the menu with some lovely extra touches.
The service was exceptional, we were looked after by Siya and 'service with a smile' doesn't do him justice. He was fantastic and made the evening really special. Thank you!

Wonderfully situated hotel in St Peter Port, with excellent views and a peaceful, calm aura. Rooms are spacious and exceptionally comfortable. Decoration is on the eccentric side, but everything in the room was high quality—especially welcome was the plush bathrobe.
However, the thing that makes this hotel so very special is the staff (some will get missed out, but they really all were fabulous). Ranga, the Concierge in charge when we arrived, was fabulously cheery, very helpful and possibly the world’s strongest man (sorry again for bringing so many funny shaped bags). Irma on reception was warm and informative. Housekeeping, who made sure our room was spotless everyday, thank you to you all, too—the nightly turndown service, with little midnight snacks, were a lovely touch.
But the standout was the very thoughtful and instinctive Siya, who attended to us at breakfast, and went above and beyond to ensure I could enjoy a meal in The Curry Room without having to worry about my peanut allergy for once. He took such care, even down to ensuring he’d cleaned his hands every time he came to our table. Amazing customer service and a lovely, warm person to speak to, too. I actually should also thank Chef Nolan for creating a couple of new nut-free dips that night, too. The lime and coriander raita was divine, as was the sweet chilli sauce. Also, thank you to Paul and Govind for also helping to make us feel extra special that evening!
All in all, a lovely hotel to stay in, where guests are treated like honoured friends, and the food is generous and delicious. We’ll definitely stay again.
