We stayed at the Prince of Wales on our walking holiday on Jersey. It is the only place to stay at Greve de Lecq. It is in a picturesque location overlooking the small bay and beach. It is, in parts, a little run down. The corridors and dim, not improved by the brown painted doors. The furniture in our room was cheap and rickety. Leads running everywhere from the plugs. The bathroom was rather shabby, but there was a decent shower. The room was clean. The bed was comfortable and the bedding was fine. We had a good night’s sleep. The views were marvellous. There was a large terrace outside our windows where you could sit down and enjoy the view. The service at the bar was off hand. Perhaps I caught the barmaid on a bad day. The bar area itself feels like a typical, not so smart, English pub. Everyone was watching football on a huge screen. The service overall could be improved. We had to drag our suitcases up the stairs. Everywhere else we stayed our suitcases where either taken up to our room or there was a lift. The dining room is light and airy with great views. The food was good. Breakfast was huge, with quality products. Dinner was also very good. My wife had two starters, Scallops and a prawn cocktail. I had a fillet of bass with Jersey Royal potatoes and veggies. Delicious. We finished it off with a shared Eton Mess – price £51. To drink I had a Breda beer and my wife had a G&T, and we had a bottle of decent house red – price £44.70. I had the impression that the place was undergoing a gradual refurbishment. The host is doing a good job but more investment is required.
