Have just spent a gorgeous weekend in Sark staying at the Aval du Creux.
We were so lucky with the weather but luck played no part in the truly wonderful service provided by the staff at the hotel. Everyone from the manager downwards were so welcoming, friendly, helpful and professional. Nothing was too much trouble. We loved it.

Spent three nites at the aval in early sept everything about the hotel was excellent beautiful setting modern facilities and superb staff. From arrival to departure they were top class
weather was dreadful wind and rain for three of four days so needed a nice hotel.Sarks vineyards are a must see,and island walks are spectular.

The standard rooms as shown on the website are not all like that. The minute we walked into our room, we requested an upgrade - and were willing to pay for it. No rooms were available for the 2 nights.
Our room was a typical attic room:
The bathroom was so small that you couldn't readily dry yourself in it. It had a very tatty mirror and a toilet seat which wouldn't stand up - although as it is difficult for a man to stand in front of it with the slope of the roof there then it wasn't so much of a problem.

Sockets in the small bedroom could only be reached by getting down on your hands and knees - we are not as flexible as youngsters. Indeed it was dangerous using a small cable linked kettle, having to unplug it and get up from under the eves with it full of boiling water. It was also extremely awkward for my wife to dry her hair, having to move the mirror along and sit at the end of the dressing table. This again was after having to struggle to get down to the socket.

It was not even possible to stand up before or after getting into bed from one side.

The receptionist, although very pleasant and polite, seemed to unaware of the room's shortcomings and did make a small gesture by rebating us £10 per head per night - I would much rather have had a decent room. Her suggestion of making the complaint in writing to the manager was followed but no response was received.

The hotel itself is perfectly nice and the staff pleasant. Sorry to say, we will not return.

Well maintained, clean and efficient, with well appointed rooms serviced immaculately.

The low-numbered rooms may be subject to a little more noise than others, but the double-glazing takes care of most of that.

The food and restaurant we found to be a little on the corporate style, and with no great personal touch there, but the reception and room service staff were friendly and helpful and a real credit to the hotel.
