Could do a lot better

We booked this hotel/inn as a short break before heading elsewhere on Guernsey. The room initially seemed great - a lovely balcony overlooking the sea, nice decor and toasty. However, despite turning the radiator down to zero, it still pumped out heat - this was stifling through the night - not good. There's only one plug socket by the 'desk' - this meant you had to choose between watching the TV, boiling the kettle or using the coffee machine. No hand soap for the sink in the bathroom nor hand towels. Apparently this was an oversight by the cleaning staff. We were disappointed to learn that the kitchen was shut on a Monday - after breakfast so there was no satisfactory option for us to eat later. This was posted on their website, but not on Hotels.com, which we'd used to make our booking. The owner was most amenable and allowed us/and refunded us our second night, so we went somewhere else. The breakfast was great, but when we ate in the restaurant, we ordered a pizza - according to the big sign outside, handmade pizza to order - the pizza we were served was overcooked and looked like it was from Iceland - suitably unimpressed... I appreciate it's the start of the summer season but that's not really an excuse for poor attention to detail and lack of preparation...

A family run hotel full of homely touches. The decor around every area has been carefully coordinated to a theme, giving an overall impression of somewhere calm and peaceful to stay. Our room had a sea view, adding to the relaxing effect. We also had an additional sitting room, giving us plenty of space. Some rooms have a balcony, which would be great for watching the changing tides on a summers day. On the ground floor there is is a pub, that serves a good range of food, and a bistro/restaurant with even more choice. The portions of the meals we had were good value for money. Breakfast was included in our room price and we chose full English each morning, which set us up each day for exploring the island. The staff were very friendly and the hotel was clean.

What can I say about this place. Nothing was too much bother. I am dairy free and contacted them prior to my arrival and they provided me with dairy free alternatives. The staff were ever so friendly and welcoming. Even as we went to leave at 7am on the final morning they offered us a take away coffee etc. room was perfect size with a great view. We will definitely be back again. Thank you for making our stay so great!

The bathroom let the property down, very disappointing. Apparently due to be refurbished this winter-it needs it. TV was also disappointing as it was not a SMART TV although that was available in some rooms.

Jamie and his staff provided a comfortable and relaxing holiday. The food and service at the Hotel was excellent from breakfast to evening meal. The Driftwood provided a sea view and a base from which to travel to discover the rest of the island. All in all our most relaxing and enjoyable break for some time.

The hotel is in a very quiet part of the island. So it’s perfect for beach walking and relaxing. The pub and restaurant are great. Staff is awesome as is the food. Getting a taxi can be a challenge at certain times of the day so it is best to book ahead of time if you know your plans. Overall a very welcoming place.

Jamie was very welcoming. When we discovered we hadn’t got the room type requested on booking, he was so helpful in arranging for us to move to a better room which exceeded our needs. The staff in the bistro were nice too. A lovely touch to be given a birthday card from all the staff. Location is fantastic with great sea & sunset views. Plenty of parking. Jazz with dinner on Friday was good and it finished early so as not to disturb people’s sleep. Shame about the TV volume from room next door instead! The food in the bistro was good with enough choice for the four nights we were there. There is unfortunately a downside to this happy tale. The bathrooms are in need of an update. Rather old fashioned and tired decor with no air extraction. The old yellowing shower head was spraying out at all angles plus for us older creaky folk climbing into the bath round the shower door was a bit of a challenge.
