Lovely hotel in a great location
Lovely hotel in the middle of the island, a great location to see everything Guersey has to offer. The team at Le Friquet were incredibly polite and friendly and made us feel right a home. The food in the Lobster and Grill onsite restaurant was superb.

Lovely country hotel
My wife and I had wonderful short stay (3 nights) at Le Friquet. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable. All the staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. Fabulous restaurant. One very minor comment - our ground-floor room/suite had a conservatory, and during the day when the sun was out, even in late spring, it was almost too hot to sit in. Maybe some blinds could be useful. But that wouldn't stop us booking it again.

Good but could be better
Sensationally comfortable bed and a very warm, efficient welcome, but we weren't told on arrival that there were large Christmas parties (with DJs) taking place on each night. Despite the unexpected 'upgrade' (which removed us a little further from the restaurant area) we could still hear the beat until midnight. The breakfast was nice (the waiting staff was lovely) but my porridge on our second morning came out nearly cold.

The location was excellent for going in any direction without being in a town , but a lot of that is because Guernsey is a small island , the staff employed do a very good job with April always having a smile on her face . The restaurant offered a lot of seafood dishes which did not disappoint , my only question would be about the Tiramisu which was edible but I couldn't taste any coffee,maybe best made daily ?

Wonderful Country Hotel
Friendly staff very helpful, lovely room, great breakfast, lunch and evening meals, this was our second stay and we would stay again, however, a couple of nights were spoilt by inconsiderate other guests banging doors in the late evenings and very early mornings and stomping around the floor in the rooms above.

Lovely hotel staff nothing was too much trouble for anyone. Breakfast service was great again staff were welcoming. The only reason I didn’t give it an excellent was the internet although free was intermittent which was annoying at times.
