Such a lovely place and service was fabulous!
Justine, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Highly recommend. We were late arriving, due to the Cannel Island ferry breaking down in Guernsey harbour, but we were still able to have an evening meal, which was very nice in itself, and very welcome. The staff were very pleasant, and the room very comfortable. Tim served the breakfast, and is the perfect host. It is a most picturesque location, and we will most definitely stay here again.
Nigel, 1-night trip

Chain hotel makes for expensive stopover

Vey expensive, dinner was disappointing, service poor (since dining room competing with bar regulars), all meals extra charge. Bedside light not working on one side. set in a pleasant village but no local options for meals.
