Great Dinner

small single rom with over flowing toilet - which I fixed. However, location, restaurant and staff are excellent. The dinner service is way beyond it's 3 stars! Try the steak from the Bertha and the fresh monk fish with the lemongrass and coconut sauce,.

Location and actual building and facilities very good. Staff friendly and very helpful. Breakfast of very good standard. Small items requiring attention specific to Room 15. 1. Mattress worn out and requires renewal. 2. Bathroom door Jamming at top requiring a real effort to get it closed. 3. Whilst the shower is excellent, the on / off control is so tight it cannot be operated with wet / soapy hands. It needs attention. Having said all this, I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel.

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.
