Great hotel and lovely village. Friendly staff and great coffee at breakfast. All too often overnight stays away can be a little disappointing but not this time, the Museum Inn was a great experience. Highly recommend staying here

10/10

Highly recommend. We were late arriving, due to the Cannel Island ferry breaking down in Guernsey harbour, but we were still able to have an evening meal, which was very nice in itself, and very welcome. The staff were very pleasant, and the room very comfortable. Tim served the breakfast, and is the perfect host. It is a most picturesque location, and we will most definitely stay here again.

Really enjoyed our stay. The staff are friendly. The place has a lot of character and the room was spaces and clean. Unfortunately we did no eat a evening meal but if the breakfast is anything to go by it should be good. Would recommend to anyone.

Our stay was absolutely amazing! Service was great, everyone was super friendly! We were in a rush to leave in the morning because we had other things booked, so we weren’t able to partake in breakfast and one of the ladies offered to pack us up some delicious croissants and some apples for our travels! We also had dinner there the night we checked in and it was the best food we had all holiday! If we are ever fortunate to come back we will make sure we stay here again!
