My family of four stayed in one of the apartments at La Barbarie. We reserved a “self-catering” apartment, which meant we paid for our meals at the hotel when we decided to eat there. With a full kitchen in the apartment, we figured we would make our own breakfasts. All it took was one morning eating in the restaurant to know we should’ve reserved the room with meals included. We ate every breakfast and dinner at the hotel’s marvelous restaurant. Best croissants in the world! We ate in the dining room and had room service. Every meal was outstanding. The children’s menu worked really well for our kids.

The apartment has two bedrooms, a living room, which is really a big room with the kitchen and table in it. Our upstairs apartment had a balcony overlooking the swimming pool. It was a spacious place to spend several days, not fancy at all, but comfortable. The bathroom is huge, and despite a warning from the hotel guide, the plumbing worked fine. The kids really enjoyed the swimming pool, which, like the apartment, was nothing fancy. The bar and garden by the pool has wireless Internet service. I enjoyed sitting outside with a drink, surfing the Internet, and watching my happy kids swim in the pool, chatting with other hotel guests. It has a clientele that obviously returns every time they are in Guernsey, and if I find myself on the island again, I know I will be staying at La Barbarie.

This was a delightful holiday. The food and accommodation was excellent and the staff were most helpful.
Can't wait for next year which we have already booked.

This hotel is set in a beautiful part of Guernsey, a short walk from Saints Bay and Icart Point. The hotel is picturesque with lovely gardens and a sheltered pool area. The rooms are welcoming comfortable and relaxing. The early evening menu is excellent value for money and the choice of that and the a la carte and table d'hote is extensive. The food was delicious, appetising and varied and the staff were only too happy to accomodate any changes.

This is a warm, friendly hotel where guests return year after year as we do ourselves. It is a pleasure to return to meet up with old faces, who are now friends and meet new ones amongst both staff and guests. Life's stresses will fade away during the time you spend on this wonderful island and this hotel and its staff ensure this happens!

Have just returned from a short break package and can not fault the hotel, the package deal included hire car, free bubbly on arrival and the food was of the highest quality. The staff were friendly and the service at meals times very efficient. The hotel was so busy (a good sign) i.e. no rooms in the main building, that we were offered the self catering accomodation, although slightly apprehensive when booking it turned out to absolutely A1, clean,high standards of furnishing, and very spacious. It was fully serviced each day. Would certainly recommend this hotel.

The hotel is clean with friendly staff although the restaurant manager tended to be a little formal but this was due to his professionalism and could sometimes be a little amusing if things wern't going quite right.

A nice pool area but a little limited in space if a significant number of guests stayed in.

Did not use the restaurant much but when we did the food was excellent and particularly good value for money if using the "early bird" facilty.

The hotel is a little isolated and a hire car is recommended as although there is a bus stop outside the hotel the last bus from St Peter Port is very early.

The downside of the stay was that the window of the room we were in opened directly on to the kitchen extractor fan which precluded having the window open as this was both noisy and smelly. The plumbing for the other rooms on the corridor was very noisy ealy morning and late night.

Would stay again but would request a room in another part of the hotel.
