This is very much a rewrite of my review from our last visit to Greenhills, such is the consistent high standard of this welcoming and unique hotel. We first visited Greenhills in 2004 and some of the staff that were there then are still there now. This is always a good sign as happy, valued staff tend to stay and this is good for guests. The staff really gave the impression that they enjoyed working together and this creates a very harmonious, calm atmosphere in Greenhills which greatly enhances a guest's experience. The hotel is situated in a quiet and peaceful rural part of Jersey which adds to the ambience. The public rooms and bedrooms are beautifully decorated. Fresh modern touches blend with and respect the traditional features of a historic building. The bed was particularly comfortable and the hotel was very quiet overnight ensuring a good sleep. The standard of cleanliness of the bedroom, laundry and public areas was meticulous. The quality and variety of food was so exceptional that we chose to dine in every night. We alternated between the table d'hote and a la carte menus and were spoiled for choice. All courses were delicious and beautifully presented. The tempura prawns, lobster, beef Wellington and the hot chocolate dessert were special highlights. The breakfasts were wonderful with the homemade granola and lightly smoked haddock with poached egg being our favourites. On our first visit we hired a car at the airport, on our second and third visits we drove from Scotland and took the car over on the ferry from Poole. Despite having a car on the island we found ourselves taking the bus into St Helier as parking could be difficult. The last two times, we flew and took a taxi to the hotel but got around the island using the buses. Unfortunately the no 8 bus no longer makes a detour past the hotel. The no 8 stop is 700m away with 42m of ascent/decent. For two older, but ambulant, people it was an easy 15 minute walk. A 7 day unlimited travel bus pass with card is £35 and to recharge the card for future visits is £27.50. The hotel's west central location made it easy to access some stunning beaches using the buses. We swam at Plemont, Grev de Lecq, Ousaine, St Brelades, Portlet, and Beauport. Buses also allowed one way walks on quiet lanes between bus routes. Our flight home was in the evening. Greenhills have an arrangement with the Pomme d'Or hotel in St Helier to leave cases there after checking out on the last day. The Pomme d'Or is just across the road from the airport bus stance. This arrangement allowed us to make the most of our last day. Having had a really great time on Jersey and particularly at Greenhills Hotel, we are already planning our return.
