The room was very clean and comfortable but unfortunately the room was very noisy - there is a neighbouring water pump/boiler to the room which woke us up throughout the night and noise carries through the house. I’m Surprised this hasn’t been mentioned by other guests previously. Breakfast was also very slow and unsatisfactory unfortunately. Beautiful gardens and lovely property with safe bike parking. yet unfortunately I would not stay again.

Fantastic stay
Went to sark for a wedding at Stocks Hotel. The guest house was in a beautiful setting with a beautiful garden and sunny terrace. We had the Room in the loft with the slipper bath. Was beautifully done and very cosy. Bed was very comfy and slept like a baby. Full breakfast included which was gorgeous. Would definitely stay again.

One night on Sark
There were not many hotels to choose from on Sark for our dates, but this hotel was in a great location near the Avenue and only a short tractor journey from the harbour. The accommodation was expensive for a night in a very small room, however all accommodation seems expensive here. The water ran out and we were unable to take a shower. The Wifi did not work. I do advise using the carting service for luggage as this was excellent and cheap.

A True Gem on the Island of Sark
This was a highlight of our travels. The property was clean, comfortable, and convenient to everything. The garden was in full bloom and there were many sets of chairs for relaxation at all times of day or night to see the stars! We could bath in our clawfoot tub with a view out the skylight to the stars. Does it get any better? We are a couple that travel the world and this is now on the top of our list. Clos De Vaul Creux, the owner Leigh, and the Island of Sark need to be experienced together!

Very nice hotel with excellent staff and breakfast was also excellent. However our bedroom was in the eaves with sloping walls which we both hit our heads many times each day. This room is unsuitable for tall people. The shower over bath was a nightmare due also to the sloping roof. The pressure of the water frequently blew the shower head off and soaked us and the bathroom.! However the cleanliness in the bedroom was excellent and it was fully serviced daily..

Guest House at the top of the hill
The TV didn't work nor did the wifi even though we followed all the instructions. We asked to book dinner that night but the lady had decided not to cook. The breakfast the next morning was very slow. I finally got my cooked breakfast about half an hour after I had ordered it. It was tasty though!

A lovely guest house with a great location
Clean, comfortable and lovely decor and furnishings. A great location just a few minutes walk from where the tractor bus from the harbour stops and the shops and cafes. Very quiet and peaceful and a great breakfast. A nice garden to sit in during the day and star gaze at night.

We had the charcoal roses room. Very clean and spot on. The owner was very welcoming. She's thought of every thing people might need or ask for and was always willing to offer more help if required. The breakfast was very yummy with freshly baked bread and croissants and cooked breakfast every morning. The hotel is very well located as quite central and therefore every bit of the island is easily reached from there.

Avoid
Comfortable beds but evening meal was dire - my wife had to send her very tired old cod back - and room smelled of wet carpet. Why have lino on bedroom floor and carpet in tiny en-suite with small curtained shower? In emergency we would have had to move a bed to escape. Breakfast was good but according to other guests only because a hotel inspector was staying overnight. Would definitely not stay here again, especially as it was also seriously overpriced.

Lovely on the outside - grim on the inside
These were my first impressions: • my opened off the dining/sitting room and had no key allowing anyone full access to my belongings • the rug was stained • there was no carpet • the furniture was stained and chipped • all the paintwork was chipped • it looked as if it had been a utility room or cloakroom, with rows of coat hooks over the bed and a glass door to the garden • there was a three bulb, utilitarian light fitting with two bulbs, only one of which was working • there was a basic shower room, not very clean. I had to get myself a clean glass It later became apparent that • on one side of my bed was a wall to the kitchen with noise and smells constant • the voices from the dining room were as loud as if they were in the room with me In the morning a man walked into my room whilst I was dressing. I then decided it was time to leave.....

More quirky than luxurious
A mixed experience. The situation is handy.The house and grounds appear very relaxed.The staff are extremely welcoming, thoughtful and eager. Nicely cooked and delicious breakfast,if only 1 boiled egg.Tables and buffet had been attractively prepared in the courtyard for breakfast. The garden lights by the gate welcoming when returning at night. The twin room, was not up to expectations. Accurately described as small,the description failed to mention the room,and 2 more were directly off the breakfast/sitting room.Acknowledging a no keys policy,a recognition of guests privacy could be made,an internal lock or a small private sign.We did meet someone who had afternoon tea here,and looking for the loo found a couple in bed. The shower looked very compact and awkward for anyone of height. On booking a double room was requested if one became available.One did,maybe because the Manque Iles Express didn't sail that day. We were booked on the same ferry but rather than lose a non cancellable room flew to Guernsey, then Sark ferry. We moved from not so good £110 room to the better attic one, lovely bathroom ,split toilet with locks,for extra £20.Plenty of hot water.A lovely house,deserves fresh paint, carpet cleaning,and garden flowers in rooms.I could not see info about dinner availability on website A phone call prior to going advised as some places now closed. Disappointment with room was largely down to expectation. Sark wonderful.

We love Sark having stayed there 5 times previous for short breaks this being the first time at the Clos De Vaul Creux which although classed as a guesthouse is really like a boutique hotel. Situated beautifully near the little shops and several restaurants and little pubs

Stayed before and it was lovely but not this time
Had a two night stay here. Leigh is very sweet but looked stressed all the time. The breakfast was nice too. The rooms needed a little pick me up and the TV was not working. No wifi the whole time we were there so not happy about that. We did ask for the heating to be turned up as the first night was very cold. Lady is selling which we didn't realise until we saw it for sale in Guernsey. I wouldn't stay here again.

I travelled to Sark in February, which is when most sightseers wouldn't, so perhaps my review is unduly biased. That's primarily because I was the only guest here. I was a bit embarrassed about that, but I perhaps I should have seen that coming. My summation of the experience is tinged with guilt because I really quite enjoyed it. Sark is one of only two International Dark Sky islands, so one needs a flashlight (torch) after sunset to move about anywhere outside. This meant velvety pitch black night and dead silence, but for wind and rain, when I slept. Paired with the very comfortable bed, this allowed the best sleep in months. The bedroom was reached by a spiral staircase to a sort of loft with a beautiful view of Sark fields to the east. It was a rainy visit (February, recall) but should you have this room in more sunny weather, you're guaranteed a wonderful sunrise in bed. My host was the consummate British gentlewoman, articulate and most informative, to whom I'm very grateful for such an offseason intrusion.

A weekend on Sark
Room was a little basic and not very comfortable in so much as the furnishings made it feel cold. Room was clean and other communal areas were nice. Leigh was welcoming and a very good host and was very helpful, giving us useful information. The hotel was easy to find and very centrally placed on the island. Enjoyed the island enormously, the scenery and Sark life were very quirky. Tennerfest made eating out very reasonable. All in all well worth a visit.

Tidy rooms in a convenient location
Good bed and breakfast in the little island of sark. Good service from a polite family and exceptionally good fresh home made breakfast was the highlight for me. The house itself sits in a nice garden and guests can sit outside and enjoy the breakfast and garden in the sunshine.

Central location
Situated just along from the drop off point and close to the main avenue, gave excellent access to all points of the island. The owner and assistant were very welcoming and made our stay very pleasing in beautiful surroundings.

Zu teuer, Preis und Leistung stimmt nicht
Die Unterkunft ist gemütlich, mit grossem Garten und sauber. Da unser Schiff schon um 9.00 Uhr losfuhr bestand unser gebuchtes Frühstück aus 2 aufgewärmten Croissants und einem selbst gebrühten Kaffee.Dadurch erscheint uns das Zimmer doch sehr übertäuert.

Les lieux et la compagnie sont charmants
Les chambres sont agréables et fonctionnelles, l'accueil est chaleureux, la propriétaire et son équipe font en sorte de rendre votre séjour le plus confortable possible, vous donnent tous les renseignements nécessaires pour faciliter vos excursions. Les repas servis sont de qualité, et on a l'accès libre à un très joli jardin pour le thé ou pour admirer les étoiles si on est motivé à veiller tard. Au vu des prix moyens des logements sur l'île de Sark, je pense que Le Clos de Vaul Creux offre un excellent rapport qualité-prix.
