We've only just left the Porthole Cottage after staying for a week, and we already miss it! Alex & Jon and Teresa & Diogo make the Porthole Cottage feel like a true home from home. The Porthole Cottage is ideally situated in the charming village of St Aubin, with so many good restaurants almost on the door step that a... More

The guest house is situated behind the Courthouse, providing a quiet secluded area to heart of St.Aubins. I drove down there to stay so their car park is generous considering the location. I was greeted by the couple who run the guest house who are very welcoming. Checking in for drop-ins is still a little old fashioned, but it's not... More

Stayed here for the first time at the end of April 2013 with two friends and will definitely return loving the character and charm of the property and the well stocked large gardens which are an unexpected additional bonus. My nice bright room on the second floor had two windows with views of the harbour. Both the bedrooms and the... More

I stayed at Porthole Cottage with two friends last week. We had a wonderful stay. Old world charm with a generous lounge/bar. Great friendly owners and staff made us feel like their only guests. We had a lovely afternoon in the big private gardens. The only downside is the tired decor of the bedrooms, they were however immaculately clean. All... More

My wife and I have just returned from a holiday in St Aubin. This was our 6th holiday in St Aubin, but the first at The Porthole Cottage, and can honestly say in our experience, this was the best Guest house in our favourite corner of Jersey. Alex and Jon who took over earlier this year are a lovely couple... More

We stayed at the Porthole Cottage at Easter time. The weather was very cold but we recieved an exceptionally warm welcome on our arrival. Our room had a lovely view across the harbour and Alex and John made sure we were happy and had everything we needed. We really enjoyed drinking at the bar after a days cycling (we had... More

The Porthole is a real gem. You feel as though it is a home from home, Jon & Alex (the owners) just make you so welcome, and whether you be drinking at the bar or eating breakfast, you have the feel of a family atmosphere. Dieogo is fantastic, and his wife cooks a lovely breakfast. You couldn't get a better... More

What a lovely friendly place to stay. Owners Alex and John and family are delightful and nothing seems too much trouble. Diego is very attentive and chatty and the breakfast was excellent. The location is perfect for St Aubin. We will definitely be going back there to stay.

I came here with a group of nine people to celebrate my transition into old age, my 65th. birthday. What a great place to stay. Alex, Jon, Diego and his wife were absolutely brilliant and couldn't do enough for us. The residents bar is lovely and we had a few drinks there before going out, and several after we got... More
