Guest House Accommodation

This historic country house was built circa 1789 and was visited by Charles Dickens, William Thackeray and Thomas Carlyle. It was also home to John Sterling, who had the top floor as a nursery.

The dining room is light and airy and breakfast is served at an unhurried pace at individual tables. There are three main courses and vegan and vegetarians are, of course, catered for. A sample of our breakfast menu is shown to the right...

Hillside also has a welcoming drawing room in which to relax, a well stocked lounge bar and a good selection of wines.

The conservatory has sea views and doors that open onto the garden, delightful in Summer and providing views of the Channel and its shipping lanes.

The bottom of the garden offers a gateway straight onto National Trust property and those that brave the green heights of St. Boniface Down are rewarded with spectacular views of the Island. It is perfect here for walkers, nature lovers and dog owners, who are always welcome as Hillside is pet friendly.

A good packed lunch is available on request and drying facilities are provided for walkers caught out in the rain. Hillside also has ample parking and cyclists can take advantage of garaging for their bikes.
