We returned to OGH for our 40 th wedding anniversary having spent our honeymoon in Guernsey.
We enjoyed 5 super relaxing days at this special hotel where we were warmly welcomed with some fizz and a dear little anniversary cake plate. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff from start to finish .
All staff work hard to allow you to feel pampered and valued and importantly to feel relaxed .
Our breakfasts and dinners were all absolutely delicious and we enjoyed our room with a view of the pool and out to the island of Herm .
Special thanks go to Tanusha and Pamela in the breakfast area and Zana in the Governor’s restaurant.
We felt this hotel has kept up its charm and character and continues to retain its 5 star qualities . Our room was kept spotlessly clean and the monogrammed bedding was superb!
We hope to be back for future celebrations ..
OGH has a special place in our hearts . Thank you to everyone.

We recently visited Guernsey for the first time, staying nine nights, at the OGH Hotel.
Firstly, all the staff were fantastic. Everyone was cheerful, professional with a high level of customer service. We did find, on the odd occasion, in the bar area, that they were overstretched which led to a long wait to order a drink or food, but we could see that they were working flat out. The valet parking is a nice touch and our room was cleaned and tidied thoroughly every day. On returning to the hotel each time we had been out, we were always greeted warmly.
Our king room had a very comfortable super king bed, was a good size overall and was well equipped. We were at the back of the hotel overlooking the kitchen area which, although slightly disappointing, was understandable as we hadn’t booked ‘a view’. There was a background hum from outside fans, but we didn’t really notice this after the first day or so.
What we did feel, however, was that the room, being in this position in the hotel, should have been decorated in brighter colours or light, neutral tones, as those king rooms shown on the website are. Ours was all dark browns and dark beiges, with heavy brown curtains, making it feel unwelcoming and without a lot of natural light due to its position and net curtain over the bottom half of the window. It just didn’t make us feel 5 star and ‘uplifted’ each time we entered it, which was a shame.
Breakfast in the Brasserie, which was light and airy, was excellent, with a wide choice, particularly of cooked options. We also ate several times in the bar area, the Olive Grove and the Brasserie, in the evening, and the food was very good.
The pool area is sheltered with comfortable sun loungers, although these did get full, on occasion, as our weather was hot and sunny.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay and the hotel clearly has a large, returning customer base, but it didn’t quite feel 5 star for us, mainly due to our room.
Moving forward, I think thought needs to be given to how the hotel maintains the ‘old world, traditional charm and decor’ that many of the returning guests obviously love, balanced with making it feel fresher, lighter, brighter and updated in some areas.

Amazing work! Big thanks to Chris and Jordan who helped us move today! They we kind, friendly, and very efficient with moving everything we owned to our new place. It made the whole move easier and less stressful for us! At the end of the move, they stayed for a bit longer to make sure that all our furniture was in the right place. Genuinely couldn't recommend them more!

We went to this zoo on a Monday pre-school holidays. Our local zoo is Colchester and I'm afraid this zoo cannot compete at all. The zoo was still great, clean, animals are happy etc. Dinosaur part was really great and was the purpose of our trip. My son loved it so much we did the Dinosaur section twice.
The reasons for my 3 stars are that there were no food places open in the animal section except for a icecream stand, which is not ideal for lunch when 1 scoop is £3.50. And the ticket price is £10 more than Colchester Zoo with the prebooking discount, which feels expensive considering you could spend all day at Colchester and still not see it all but this zoo we'd stopped for lunch, played on the play areas, did the dinosaur bit twice and saw all the animals in 4 hours.

We had the most lovely day. All the staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. My daughter also had the zoo keeper experience whereby she hot to clean out Marion the Tortoise, fed the Zebras, pigs and the penguins and her highlight was getting to handle some of their reptiles which included a bearded dragon, stick insect and a hissing cockroach. Joshua was the zoo keeper looking after us and he was just lovely and full of fascinating information anf was amazing with my daughter. We all came away from there with huge smiles on out faces and will definitely be going back

I highly recommend Systeme. Since I became a client about 5 months ago I have found the support team consistently helpful and quick to return my emails. The software has everything i need in a platform to host and sell video courses and create sales pages and funnels. The pricing is extremely competitive compared to other platforms, and great value for what you get.
