Lovely break, shame about the awful storms.
Pros:

The staff were exceptional, extremely polite and helpful. The property itself, whilst a little old, I understand an update is due to take place shortly, was extremely comfortable and nicely situated.

Cons:

The only small complaint would be the wait to sign in as there was only one member of staff behind the desk. However, this was dismissed by the glass of fizz given to us.

Excellent stay in great location in St Peter Port
Pros:

Breakfast was really good, lots of choice and delicious. The staff in the hotel were all excellent, really friendly and professional. The room overlooked the sea/port and was a good size with a balcony. If there was a negative of any kind it was that the bathroom was a little small, having said that the shower was wonderful, but definitely didn't take two at the same time. The bedding was as requested and the room was very quiet and had good zircon. The outside pool was lovely.

Cons:

See above about size of bathroom.
