Adventurer's Rest

The Channel Islands


On the upside, this vaguely nautically themed inn is as central as can be, the dining area – delightful, and the rooms are spacious and pleasant (though the ones at the front can be noisy due to the pub below). On the downside, the hot water is temperamental, the service can be inconsistent and the food fails to thrill the palate.
