Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is nestled underneath the eaves with a lovely view of the garden and a charming restaurant. The rooms were clean and comfortable, though a bit small for a 'superior room'. The service was super friendly and helpful, with knowledgeable staff offering great tips for exploring the area. The location provided a serene, semi-rural neighborhood just minutes from St Peter Port Harbor, ideal for a peaceful stay away from the hustle and bustle. The dining experience offered various delicious choices, though some found the breakfast options a bit limited. Overall, a pleasant stay with great value for money.
The hotel is located at the edge of the property alongside the main road, offering a peaceful stay with friendly and excellent staff. Although some areas in the room could have been cleaner, staying here cured my backache.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms at the back of the hotel were quiet and comfortable, but mine was above the kitchen, causing some noise disturbance. The room size was slightly smaller than expected from the website photos. On the upside, it was cozy and inviting.
