The hotel is 2* and clearly in need of renovation, however our room and ensuite bathroom were clean and comfortable and the room was cleaned every day, lounge was comfortable, the breakfasts were fine, better than expected &. the receptionist is very friendly and chatty - all positive. BUT on the down side - the hotel enjoys a lovely outlook but despite requesting a window seat after a day or two we were never given one so never got to enjoy the view while we ate! The seats are allocated by the restaurant staff and we were given a seat as far from the window as is possible on the 1st evening and told to sit there every day! We ate dinner there the first night and the food was just ordinary, nothing special, the menu is unimaginative with very limited choice and very similar every night so we opted to eat elsewhere after that. There is a problem with the parking as there are not nearly enough car park spaces for guests. We had read other trip advisor reviews that spoke in glowing terms of how friendly the staff were but, with the exception of the receptionist (who doubled up as barmaid in the evening), we were very disappointed as this did not match our experience.

We chose this hotel to stay in Jersey for a week for a week for a family wedding. We were a bit concerned because it was just 2 star - but as soon as we arrived it was clear that this was a good choice.
The hotel is just perfect in its position above the little bay. It is true that the hotel is a bit dated but it is kept perfectly clean and the lounge and dining room are to die for!!
When we arrived we were told that as we had booked for 7 nights we got free evening meal. We did take this offer up on three evenings - although we could understand other reviewers not wishing to dine here in the evening. The food is fine but not very imaginative - you could say typical 1970's/80's seaside hotel fare.
But the breakfast is very good - the eggs are cooked to perfection - not something you always get in even expensive places.
Our room was fine although it is true that the bathroom could have done with a renovation. However the shower was a really good powerful spray - again not always what you get!!
The hotel staff were very helpful and friendly. I was surprised to see free internet access - both wireless for your own laptop and a communal PC to use - but I only checked e-mails a couple of times - bad habit on holiday !!
Our daughter and family arrived at the end of the week for the wedding and their family room was really good - with a separate room (with a door) for the children.
Lastly - if you want a really lovely evening meal with a great view and perfect sunset - try Corbiere Phare at Corbiere Point (South West corner of Jersey) - really great food and not expensive. They also do good lunches - try the Seafood Salad - bet you've never seen so much seafood on one plate!!!

We had a lovely restful stay here The hotel was welcoming and friendly. The food was delicious with a choice and it was different every night. Breakfast is half help yourself and half service. We had not been in this part of Jersey before it has some wonderful walks and birdlife, It has a lovely small horbour but there is a walk to get to it and only a small bit of sand, it has a lovely cafe/resturant for refreshment there. You can hire bikes to ride down peaceful lanes but we had an hire car. Must admit some of the roads are very narrow and steep. You are not far from anything by car Jersey Pearl and Gold etc, We went up the road to a lovely sundrenched beach where the national trust has preserved a barracks built years ago it is free parking and a donation to look round the shopkeeper was very well informed and better than a paid guide. There is also a large shop and resturant near the beach and large free car park. We saw the moonlight parade and fireworks of the Battle of the flowers it really was a treat. There was only entertainment on once a week a quiz but everymorning there is a print out of things to do at the reception desk and weather and whats on at other hotels etc. The rooms were cleaned everyday and the place itself was old but very clean, it is up a steep narrow drive. The staff were very helpful and friendly

This really is a gem of a hotel,quiet peaceful location with great views over Bonn Nuit Bay,very good food (prepared by Ian,chef and co-proprietor),polite and efficient staff,nice pool and a super well furnished bar/lounge area.Isolated and peaceful is is still only a few minites drive to St.Helier.We certainly plan to stay here on our next visit.
