If you're planning a getaway to the charming island of Guernsey, there’s no better place to experience its breathtaking vistas than from The Old Government House Hotel & Spa. Our historic hotel not only offers luxurious accommodation and exceptional service but also provides access to some of the island’s most stunning viewpoints. Here’s a guide to the best views in Guernsey that you can enjoy during your stay with us.
Castle Cornet

Just a short walk from the hotel, Castle Cornet stands sentinel over St Peter Port. From its ramparts, you can enjoy sweeping views of the harbour and the surrounding islands. The castle itself is steeped in history, and its vantage points provide an excellent opportunity for panoramic photography, especially during the golden hours of early morning or late afternoon.
