The bar / restaurant was busy every evening which indicates the atmosphere and quality of the food offerings. My advice is to pre-book any time you need a table as there were sufficient waits. The food is good but not great, but certainly fills a gap. Breakfast was great and I actually preferred it to the the evening meals which is a rarity for me. The one evening that I did have to wait for an evening table, I made use of beautiful cliff walks just a few minutes away from the hotel with stunning views, so I can complain at all.

This place is steeped in history and class, from ceining-to-floor mirrors and overlaid cartography artwork of Guernsey from 1787 on the walls of the corridors, to Murano glass chandeliers on the ceilings of the communal areas. Valet parking on check-in gives you the ability to pull up directly outside the hotel, give your keys to concierge and forget about your car until you need it back. Which is good, as there's zero parking in Guernsey at the best of times. Reception is grand and very well-presented and the receptionist was friendly and accommodating. From there your bags are carried to your room, the facilities in the room briefly explained to you and you are then left alone. We were upgraded to one of the King Size rooms which meant we had a little more space to play with and a balcony with sea view. The balconies are protected by a motorised window, meaning you can choose to embrace the outside elements or ignore them. The sea view isn't bad (the hotel can't choose what's on the horizon, let's not forget) and you can see Herm island, its counterpart whose name alludes me, and to the right is the island of Sark, and to the left in the far distance is the French coastline. The room we stayed in had a TV with a hotel entertainment package on it, so we had streaming worldwide Internet radio as well as the usual live TV packages. The TV cleverly greets you by name when you turn it on. Beds are monstrously large and very, very comfortable. Pillows are oversized and similarly comforting at night, and the room's blackout blinds and fabric coverings on the walls keep noise and light to a minimum. Turn-down service came while we were out for the evening but we left the room and bed in a mess when we went out and came back to find it made and ready to get in to, with a small bag of cookies, the TV remote and the day's newspaper on the bed for us. Breakfast is served in The Brasserie which is a bright and airy room overlooking their gardens. We were seen and seated promptly, offered the use of the buffet, plus served with what can only be described as the best Eggs Royale south of Penrith that I have ever experienced. Coffee, tea, toast and croissants were served aplenty as well as yoghurts, cereal and museli from the buffet. You are offered use of the gym, jacuzzi, sauna and steam rooms and these are found by taking the staircase near the reception area to get to them. You will need your robe, slippers and a towel from the room, and a pound coin for the lockers. The codes to open the changing room doors are available from the gym reception; walk through the gym to get to the changing rooms, and the steam, sauna and jacuzzi await you the other side of the changing rooms. There's also a heated outdoor swimming pool but unfortunately it was covered so we were unable to use it. But it's only 12 degrees outside currently so perhaps that's a blessing in disguise... We stayed at the OGH to mark our last day of three months in Guernsey and it was a lovely experience. It's pricey (for our pockets, at least) but we enjoyed it all and would happily recommend it to others.

The property is "characterful", which translates as awkward shaped rooms and awkward short flights of stairs rather than step free. The Service is "attentive", which translates as obsequious yet intrusive. And the technical facilities ... well, aircon that cannot maintain 20C or less on a Autumnal September day (with 18C maximum ambient) simply does not deserve to be called aircon! I'm actually quiet laid back normally, but I do think that assuming 'stuff works' should be a reasonable expectation for any establishment, yet increasingly it seems there's better chance of that from the less swanky / budget chains (c.f. modern specification Holiday Inn Expresses and Premier Inns) than self-important hotels like this one. As to alternative recommendations, I'm afraid I can't help, since the type of reliable chain properties I alluded to are scarce in these islands ...

The place was within walking distance to the town which was very convinient. The restaurant at the hotel was too notch and we ate there a couple of nights that we were there.

If I was to come to Guernsey again I would definitely stay here. You won't be disappointed.

A contact I had in Normandy made a reservation for me here, knowing my interest in local cuisine and ingredients. Sitting in the main dining room with an exquisite view of the French (English, to some) Channel and watching the tides' tremendous retreat, it struck me. Anthony Bourdain had been a guest of Chef Olivier Roellinger in his Brittany episode...which may explain why, at 2 tables, people were taking pictures of every dish. Gastro-tourism at its finest. What was nice about having seen the show was knowing the backstory. The attention to detail, the emphasis on local ingredients, the gardens, the locally sourced meats and fish. Even the simple country bread was memorable. We enjoyed a decadent (prix fixe) lunch, consisting of an appetizer, entrée, and dessert. The selections were seafood focused, with local Cancale Oysters as a highlight (you can see the chateaux from the oyster houses on the coastline), and various fish and shellfish. I enjoyed the "Mont St. Michel" lamb, as well. World class, exquisite fare that was fresh beyond belief...although classic French, the modern influences, even some Asian in a little lagniappe that we had at the start of the meal. (Yes, I know lagniappe is Cajun not Continental French, but although you can take the girl out of Louisiana...) We could not pass up the cheese cart (insert between entree and dessert). It's a required gastronomic experience when visiting northern France...Normandy and Bretagne cheeses are the best in the world, in my opinion...though my Norman travelling companion had a strong opinion on #1 in that constest. The dessert cart was a superlative experience...one could make a feast of that alone. I went for a mere four little tastes including a delicious pistachio confection and (for me) the obligatory chocolate treat. The wine list was pretty phenomenal, as I would expect, and we enjoyed a bottle of Chassagne Montrachet, a noteworthy wine to accompany an unforgettable experience. Indeed. I won't forget this one.
