Beausite Hotel

"Just spent a week at this hotel and unfortunately the weather was very poor so we were disappointed. We had already requested a room overlooking the garden on the first floor which was pleasant but needed decorating due to marks on the wall and scuffed paintwork. The built-in wardrobe was not good as the door couldn't be opened as it clashed with the room door hardware and usually crashed back making an awful din. Luckily the weather was not hot as the window in the room was limited. For part of the holiday we had someone staying above us and the creaking floorboards were not good. On a plus side everything was clean. The full English breakfast was very good and always served with a smile from the staff. We only had two dinners in the restaurant. The food was OK but not outstanding for the amount paid. The staff once again made it. We did have a take-a-way delivered to Beausite from the Pizza Quarter in Gorey which was delicious and then unfortunately we saw the sign that we shouldn't have done that as only food purchased from the hotel was allowed to be eaten! Not to be beaten we visited the pizza establishment and had a second perfect meal. We did visit the Pembroke which was over the road but found it a bit gloomy and seating uncomfortable so we didn't book the restaurant. We originally booked the Beausite because of the indoor pool. We swim twice a week at home so are used to walking round the edge of a pool. The night before we were due to leave we decided to have our third swim of the week. That was when our holiday ended in disaster. We had had a nice swim and sat out at the side of the pool relaxing for awhile. We made our way to the "changing room", a spacious toilet with a door that doesn't lock. The tiles just before slope a tiny bit but they are very, very slippy as we had noticed before. There are a patch of grey ones that are different to the blue. My husband had gone ahead of me. I slipped very badly, went down on my back , my toes on my left foot bent backwards underneath. I did manage to get back up but was in agony. The lady on reception offered to get us a taxi to A & E. Turned that down as I thought if I had broken anything it might stop me getting home the next day. She did give us a bag of ice but that ended up wetting our bed. Went straight to hospital once home. Luckily no bones broken but have ligament damage which could take 4-6 weeks to mend and a bruised coccyx. In my seventies this is not good. I want to warn any visitors to the Beausite to go very, very steady walking round the pool. The tiles are not all the same and some are treacherous. We did have a room booked at St Aubin for next year which we have now cancelled. We realise that if you take away the good weather from Jersey there is really nothing much to do. We had walked alongside the golf course into Gorey and along the promenade the other way towards the Seymour tower but we ended up going on the beach and up a slipway to get back onto the road. This road is a bit of a nightmare due to lack of pavements. Please, please be careful near that pool folks, it has ruined our holiday and I suspect the next few weeks."

"Staff on reception very helpful and welcoming, restaurant excellent,had several evening meals here which were so good. Room clean and comfortable, the addition of a pool on-site was a great bonus."

"Really loved the Beausite. The room was spacious and warm and very clean. Comfy bed. The staff very pleasant and professional. The evening meals very nice. Hop on a bus to St.Heliers and a beautiful beach just over the golf course ten mins walk away. My only disappointment was it was my husbands birthday and I asked receptionist if they did anything in the restaurant and she said leave it to us wink wink and nothing happened! But apart from that had a thoroughly enjoyable stay."
