This hotel has no pretentions, it is exactly as described; a friendly and basic hotel next to a excellent beach. The food is actually really good - better and cheaper than the local restauraunts - the rooms are simple and comfortable and the staff go out of their way to make you feel at home. If there are any drawbacks it is the volume of the late night entertainment, which isn't conducive to families with children (if you have small ones you might be better off in the chalets rather than the main hotel) and the lack of Sky TV for rainy days - however these should not detract from the fact that this is a great little family-friendly hotel with prices that can't be beat, next to one of the best beaches on the island. We certainly plan to go back!

I spent a few days on a business trip at the wayside and booked originally for July but due to some changes in my holiday time and a great offer the hotel had I just speent 7 nights with my wife and 2 children.
In the summer everything looks even better that I remembered the Hanging Baskets were out all around the hotel the garden and pool area were great for the kids as was the beach just 50yards away.
Plenty of Freshly Caught Seafood was on offer which the good lady loved, The kids were well impressed with their food choices and the Huge Steaks and Ribs kept me very happy.
I dont know if its the sea air or the very comfortable beds that were the reason we all slept like babies.
If we can get the grand parents to baby sit the kids, we might just come back for a little romance.

Walked in and was greeted with a friendly smile, that was a good start.
Checked in as was shown around the hotels facilities and taken to our room, which was very homey and clean. Asked if we were dining (as we were booked B & B) and decided to eat at the hotel.
Food was spot on and deciding between a 16oz T/Bone and a 22oz Ribeye was a real challenge so had the T/Bone that night and it was so good had the Ribeye the next night, both were cooked as I liked which is unusual in most places as I like it quite rare. Spent a few days on the Sandy Beach across the road and around the pool.
Also many evenings in the bar, this has a great atmosphere, and saw some great local acts. Would go back again in a flash.

We needed a short break and decided to visit Guernsey for the first time, a short flight from Gatwick and we were there, we collected our Hire Car at the airport and arrived at The Wayside Cheer Hotel about 20 mins later.
Check in was faultless and we were shown to our room, as we walked through the Tudor Style Bar you could feel the atmosphere of a friendly place which we were to enjoy later.
The room was a nice size and you could tell had been upgraded recently the bed was very comfortable and the room had ensuite bathroom TV and Tea/Coffee making facilities.
We went for a walk and the pool and garden was nice but the weather was too cold to use that, across the road was a lovely beach and we walked to the headland, It must look lovely in the summer.
For those who like walking there are some nice walks around the area.
The food at the hotel is much better than you would expect for a 2 star hotel and the prices very reasonable, in fact they had a promotion which......

We have been staying at the Wayside Cheer twice a year for the last 4/5 years. We have one holiday with our foster children, and one where we bring our elderly disabled parents. We can truly say that Donna Paul and there great team of staff can cater for every visitor to their hotel whatever their need or disability. Coming to the Wayside cheer feels like coming home, and we are always welcomed with open arms. The food is exceptional and the rooms are very comfortable and very clean. The refurbishments have made what what a lovely place to stay even better. The pool is loved by all ages and well used. Our foster children have made many friends staying at the Wayside Cheer. Can't wait to see you all at the Wayside Cheer again next week!
