This fine Guernsey Hotel was named "La Barbarie" after Barbary Coast pirates kidnapped and put to ransom the owner of this country house in the 17th century.
Things are a little quieter around here now! Nestling in the country Parish of St. Martin in a quiet green valley close to one of Guernseys most beautiful beaches, La Barbarie Hotel provides easy access to the lovely cliffs, Saints Bay and coves on the South coast of Guernsey.
A country location, superb restaurant and a heated swimming pool make La Barbarie Hotel one of the finest Guernsey hotels for short breaks activity and walking holidays. La Barbarie was converted into an hotel in 1950 and the old quiet charm has never left.
Indeed, La Barbarie Hotel is one of those relaxing Guernsey country hotels that only a lucky few discover. The heated swimming pool and warm patio provide the perfect secluded spot for lazy lunches or a quiet aperitif before dinner.
Relax in the quiet hotel residents lounge with its' traditional farm house oak beams and open fireplace. Ideal for finally finishing that book, or perhaps starting to write your own!
La Barbarie Hotel is one of two Guernsey country hotels with a sister hotel in the parish of Castel (Le Friquet Country Hotel.)
