Editor's picks

Featured stays, and why they made the cut

The right hotel depends on the trip. Here's our pick for each kind of stay, from a five-star treat in St Peter Port to a quiet night on car-free Herm.

How we pick

01

One pick per kind of trip

Instead of a single ranking, each hotel earns its place by being the best fit for a particular type of stay.

02

Facts, not fluff

Every reason we give comes from what the hotel actually offers: its location, facilities and star rating.

03

Chosen from the whole island

Picks are compared against every hotel we list across Guernsey, Alderney, Herm and Sark, not just the big names.
