‘The views are fantastic’ from this clifftop 18th-century manor house overlooking town, harbour and the smattering of neighbouring islands.

There’s a friendly atmosphere at this white-painted Georgian mansion, its window boxes lushly green.

There are ‘plenty of smiles’ at the Lewis family’s centuries-old manor house standing in extensive grounds – and not just from the ‘professional, attentive’ staff.

Approach this ‘elegant, attractive hotel’ by way of country roads – flanked by flower-filled planters, mature shrubs and trees, it’s in a ‘lovely, quiet location’.

The ‘delightful staff’, ‘comfortable bedrooms’ and ‘outstanding food’ draw visitors to this luxury small hotel, in an extended Norman manor house above Moulin Huet bay.

The gleaming black-and-white reception hall of this refined hotel (Red Carnation Hotels) makes a striking sight, but there’s more to draw guests’ attention – not least the spread of complimentary fruit, sweets and freshly baked treats that appears throughout the day.

Something of the French country abode characterises this Georgian manor house across the road from St Aubin’s bay – starting from the complimentary glass of bubbly offered on arrival.
