Be aware that the hotel is set on a hill so may not be suitable for those with mobility issues. Having said that, we had no problems with either climb to the hotel and we are no spring chickens!
The standard of food in the Somerville Hotel is superb and the afternoon tea is excellent value for money.
Delighted that sourdough bread was available at breakfast along with many other local goodies such as Jersey yoghurt and Jersey butter (for the sourdough toast!).
The hotel pool is also spotlessly clean and a decent size. Plenty of sun loungers and parasols. The hotel bar is also very pleasant with attentive and cheerful staff.
An exceptional hotel with some exceptional staff and exceptional views.
You won't be disappointed.
Furniture in bed room very mixed, some old fashioned, some new, the eclectic mix not quite working.
All staff friendly, reception especially helpful. Dining room staff, esp mornings, bit hit & miss. (If the staff were able to look after areas in dining room, rather than everyone everywhere, it would be better, then people would not be missed & left waiting.)
Lovely evening meal, be specific with how you want your breakfast cooked, and it will be good!
