“The staff made the differance”

Le Friquet Country Hotel

Apr 7, 2008

We only went for a short break and were attracted by an ad we saw featuring a Seafood platter as part of the package. We had a very relaxing and pleasant stay. Guernsey is a very interesting place with plenty to see and do.
We travel a lot and mainly in Large corporate type of Hotels. This is a small privately run Hotel with staff who really made the differance. None of the standard questions that you get from the large " well trained" Hotel staff ,but just genuine friendly and helpfull staff. The Seafood was stunning. Rooms clean and well furnished. I think the place will look great in the summer as it has large grounds but it was all a bit too early to see the flowers/ trees etc

The only negative was the acess out of the Hotel onto the road which we found alittle tight. Roads in Guernsey are small ! !

“Nice place, shame about the faces!”

Le Friquet Country Hotel

1/2 found this review helpful

Why do people work in hospitality if they are not hospitable?! The reception staff at this place takes my prize for the most miserable I've ever had the misfortune to be 'served' by. What price a smile, guys? Or how about a few cheery words when we book in or out? We stayed for 3 nights in the conservatory room which was nice enough, the food was ok although certainly nothing special but the place was really spoiled by the lack of atmosphere or conviviality. A couple of exceptions: Patricia at breakfast was really lovely and Pascal in the evening made a real effort. Also the chap who seemed to be overseeing things was pleasant too. The day after leaving Le Friquet we stayed at Brandon Hall in Coventry - chalk and cheese they are. Now there is real hospitality for you (see my review). Maybe the reception staff from Le Friquet need a trip over there to see how it can be done and what a difference it can make to have great staff in a hotel. Smile, you lot! It might never happen!!

“Absolutely Fabulous!!”

Le Friquet Country Hotel

Jul 22, 2007

We've just spent 3 glorious days in Guernsey, staying at Le Friquet Country Hotel.
The food was fantastic and couldn't be faulted, the rooms were modern, with lovely fresh flowers in the rooms. Ample parking spaces, and beautiful gardens and pool.
BOOKING FOR NEXT YEAR TOMORROW!!

“Excellent value for money”

Le Friquet Country Hotel

1/1 found this review helpful

The hotel is set in a lovely garden. The pool looks very nice. There is a big carpark. The rooms are clean , nicely decorated and equiped. The restaurant serves lovely food. Checking out time is a bit early 10.00. Unfortunately Sbrina our favourite member of staff has left. There is quite a stropy member of staff in the bar area, I just tend to ignore him and ask for the wine list! The location is very central for me anyway to visit family. Overall the hotel is great and they do really good flydrive packages.

“Good hotel”

2/4 found this review helpful

I have now stayed at Le Friquet three times,ranging from two nights to eight nights, (although so far only in Winter, so haven't been able to take advantage of the lovely gardens and pool) and have always found the staff and the service very good.
Agreed there is no lift, but if you have a problem with carrying luggage up the stairs they are always willing to help. The Reception and Restaurant staff are all very helpful and the rooms are always clean.

I found the food at both Breakfast (yes you do get offered a choice of cooked breakfast, together with cereals, fruit juices etc etc) and Dinner (Great carvery and menu) very good with pleasant and fast service.

Altogether I would recommend the hotel and will certainly stay there again when I go back to Guernsey.
