The Farmhouse Hotel and Restaurant

Popped in for coffee, which was lovely, decided to try the mini breakfast, Luke warm, horrible sausage and you needed a magnifying glass to see the tomato, mushroom, didn’t except a lot for £8 but should of been hotter! Staff lovely but rush you as soon as you put your cup down they are looking to take it away, such a pity lovely little bar and beautiful setting

Lovely few days at this small, very old, quirky (in a good way) hotel in the countryside, but only 15 minutes by bus from St Peter Port, bus stop right outside. My room is pictured on this page! It was very spacious and comfortable with a large comfortable bed, sofa, desk etc. The bathroom had a bath ( which was great for me!) and a separate large shower cubicle. The towels and bath robe were the softest, fluffiest that I've ever had in a hotel - luxurious! Lots of toiletries available as well and good lighting over the sink area - sometimes in hotel bathroom, the sink lighting is horrendous and difficult for applying make up. Outside the french windows it was not so much a balcony as an enormous terrace complete with table, chairs, sun loungers and covered in artificial grass - just wish the weather had been a bit more predictable to make the most of it. The grounds are very attractive and a lovely swimming pool. I get the feeling it is more like a restaurant with rooms (about 14 I think) than simply an hotel. The food was delicious and the other diners were not residents, in fact I only saw another 2 residents at breakfast, so it was very quiet. The staff were helpful, friendly and professional. Altogether a very relaxing few days.

Our 2nd visit to Guernsey for a short break & we deliberately chose a smaller hotel out of St Peters Port. There is a very convenient bus service to town which stops right outside. However, as the weather wasn't great, in hindsught it would have been better to have a car. Our room, the food in the restaurant & bar area were all very good & the service & helpfulness of staff in all areas was excellent. This hotel is obviously a popular function venue & on 2 of our 3 days there were private functions of an office party & a wedding during the afternoon into the evening. Had the weather been better we would have liked to use the pool but this would not have been possible as the functions were using that terrace area. The hotel had cordoned off a space on the grass for hotel guests but we would have been very disappointed. Something to bear in mind if you want a quiet relaxing place to sit. It must be said, however, the functions didn't detract from the service offered to us at all & there was separate live acoustic music in the bar one evening which we enjoyed.
