La Barbarie
Reviewed By peterkT9762ZLFor many years now, La Barbarie has been the only place I will stay on Guernsey. I love the island, having lived there as a child and returning most years -- often with various friends and family in tow. Everyone I have taken there has been surprised at the beauty and tranquility it is still possible to find in its little leafy lanes, cliff paths, and inviting beaches. There are many reasons to choose La Barbarie. First you will receive a genuinely friendly and warm welcome. You are made to feel at home. You will find the service efficient and friendly, the rooms are comfortable and very clean. The restaurant is excellent and much loved by locals, and the generous breakfasts are an excellent foundation for your day of exploration, such as walking on the nearby cliffs. The hotel's location is exceptional. The beautiful Icart point, just ten minutes walk away down narrow country lanes, gives you a stunning panorama of of the cliffs and sea, and it is a starting point for stunning cliff path walks along the southern coast. The local beaches: Saints Bay, Moulin Huet or Petit Bôt offer great swimming in beautiful clear water, snorkelling and sunbathing. There is a very handy bus stop on the little lane immediately outside, which will take you to into St Peter Port or off for further explorations if you opted not to bring a car. La Barbarie is not for you if you want a raucous time with banging music. But if you want an escape that feeds your soul, offers great food, creature comforts and a gorgeous location, then this is for you.

Good food in the restaurants but make sure to book especially on Monday nights when outside restaurants are closed.

Delightful
Reviewed By Mollie30What a delightful stay my husband and I had on our first visit to this beautiful island. The hotel was just what we wanted - lovely spacious room, bathroom very new with non slip shower and floor which is important to me. The bar and restaurant were excellent - we had dinner the first evening and just a bar snack the second. Breakfast was simply beautiful - one of the best we have ever come across. Staff very friendly -nothing too much trouble. Just perfection. We would definitely not want to stay anywhere else. Thank you

A pleasant break for a few days
Reviewed By BluePeteI spent 4 nights here, the room was comfortable, the shower was incredible very powerful. Staff very good and helpful. Breakfast excellent, the Ocean restaurant was closed due to lack of staff. There are options a steakhouse and a Mexican restaurant attached to the hotel are both excellent I ate at both and enjoyed all the meals I had. It can get noisy there was a barbecue one day the noise was very loud with rooms overlooking the patio no getting away from the drum and bass. The beach is a steep walk down a hill and seems even steeper walking back up. St Peter Port is a 40 min walk away worth a visit

Disappointed
Reviewed By PhilMorris63Food good, staff very friendly. Unfortunately management care more about walk-in customers in the public Oak Bar than the residents. The hotel bar is closed due to staffing shortage. We went into the Oak at 6 o’clock to have a drink before our evening meal. However, all the tables were reserved and numerous staff were standing around waiting for the presumed rush. Surely one person could run the hotel bar? We walked to a nearby pub, The Doghouse, where the staff were very friendly and welcoming and we had a great meal. After our meal, we walked back to the hotel to find lots of tables still reserved and still no room for residents. Residents were sitting in the hotel bar and having to walk through the dining area to the Oak to buy a drink.

Beachside hotel, stunning location, perfect for weddings.
Good location
Reviewed By annen653Travelled with a group of people and we stayed in the Peninsula Hotel for 5 nights on a half-board basis. Our room was at the back but that didn't detract and we didn't spend much time in it. The breakfast was good, a mixture of continental and full English. The only complaint from most of us was the plates were cold. The evening meals were very good with a choice of meat, fish or vegetarian. Desserts also had a choice of 3. The swimming pool was great the water warm. A supply of towels at poolside would have helped. The surroundings are lovely with loads of coastal walk. all-in-all a very pleasant stay.

Reviewed By Lin GVery clean and rooms very quiet. It is very new so you would expect it to be. The only downside was that you had to order your breakfast and you were given a time slot, we didnt want to do this.we were only given 2 tea bags in the room, but could go get more if required.

Hit by Covid and Brexit
Reviewed By Arundel4I have stayed in this hotel several times before and it has always been excellent. As all hotels they have had to adapt to the challenges of Brexit and Covid and on the whole seem to be managing well. Sadly not quite enough staff and some minor updating could have been done during lock down ready for re opening. If the pool was cleaned and covered at the end of the summer that would make a great different to overall appearance as it looks very scruffy now. Well done all the staff who were working, we had a most enjoyable stay. On a point of Covid recommendations, a secured to the floor hand sanitising suit at the entrance would be good and another going into the dining area. A few half full mucky bottles lying around did not give confidence. The secured ones are very attractive long stainless steel poles with a container on the top and are foot operated. Totally safe.
