We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Driftwood Inn from 31 July to 4 August 2026. Overlooking Perelle Bay, it enjoys a superb west coast location with magnificent sea views and some of the most beautiful sunsets on the island. The outdoor seating area is the perfect place to relax with a drink and watch the sun disappear below the horizon. The staff were exceptional throughout our stay—friendly, professional and always happy to share their local knowledge, helping to make us feel genuinely welcome. Food was another real highlight. Breakfast included offered an excellent start to the day, while the bistro menu provided a focused menu. There is an additional pizza menu offering further options. Our seafood and farmhouse options were excellent. Our room was clean, comfortable and well equipped, providing everything we needed for a relaxing break. There was some occasional road noise from passing traffic, but it was only a minor issue and certainly didn’t detract from our enjoyment. The location is ideal for exploring Guernsey. Bus routes 91 and 92 stop nearby, providing a convenient and inexpensive (£1.70 single) journey to St Peter Port, while the reasonably large, free car park makes the inn an excellent base for those touring the island by car. Overall, the Driftwood Inn combines a great setting, good food, welcoming staff and great value. We would happily stay here again and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone visiting Guernsey.

Lovely outlook and very comfortable with all amenities, although on quite a busy road so if you’re a light sleeper book a non sea facing room. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the hotel on a great bus route, near a Morrisons and garage - lovely swimming right in front of the hotel. We had a lovely 4 night stay

Very helpful , moved our booking too when Condor Ferry cancelled the boat. Great base for cycling and walking around the island. Inn had a room to keep our bikes inside over night . Staff were amazing and went over and above to help. Drifters restaurant ,with the sunset views over the bay offered a wide choice of excellent food. We will be back.

Great location overlooking bay, set back from road, although we had a room at the rear of the property. Plenty of parking but area around the hotel generally needed tidied up. Needed a lit sign to make it easier to find at night. Liked the nautical vibe throughout the hotel especially in the breakfast/lunch/dining room which has great views out to sea. If you didn't want the cooked breakfast the continental breakfast was a bit limited. Room clean and bed very comfortable but felt choice of blinds didn't keep out the light in the morning or the heat during the day. Sound did travel between adjoining rooms. Staff all very helpful and pleasant, and we enjoyed our stay and would consider using again when we return to Guernsey, which we hope to do soon.

This is one of the nicest hotels I've stayed at in terms of friendliness and hospitality. Nothing is too much trouble for them and they were genuinely interested in us as people. I'd certainly return.

The food in both the bar and the restaurant was top class with plenty of choice. The quality rivalled any of the more expensive restaurants on the island. There is also a very comfortable residents' lounge which we used in the evenings. The staff were particularly friendly and helpful. We wouldn't stay anywhere else.

The husband and wife who run this Inn are extremely friendly, helpful and hardworking. The accommodation was spotless and breakfast lovely. They go the extra mile to make everyone feel at home. Would not hesitate in recommending as a great place to stay in Guernsey.

We had a wonderful stay at The Driftwood Inn. The staff were friendly, approachable and helpful. The room was very clean and comfortable. Definitely worth booking a sea view room, we sat and watched the waves crashing and listened to the sea - very relaxing. We will definitely stay again.

Excellent breakfast. Great views. The Driftwood is just on the other side of the road from the sea. Convenient bus route all around the island.
