Marton Guest House
Guernsey
At a glance
Marton Guest House is a small accommodation-led guesthouse in Les Vardes, set in a quiet, elevated residential part of St Peter Port on Guernsey. Its setting provides a calm base close to the island capital, while the town centre remains within a walk of around 10 minutes. The property is suited to visitors looking for a residential location rather than a hotel in a busy commercial area.
The guesthouse combines accommodation with a dining offering, giving the property a traditional guesthouse character. Rooms form the central part of the stay, with dining available as part of the overall experience. The style is straightforward and practical, with the surrounding residential streets adding a quieter atmosphere than the centre of St Peter Port.
Location is an important part of the Marton’s appeal. The guesthouse stands uphill from the town, so the return journey from St Peter Port involves a climb. The ferry terminal is approximately 25 minutes away on foot, although the route is hilly. Visitors arriving by ferry as foot passengers or by air can take a taxi from the relevant terminal, while regular bus services connect Guernsey Airport and the Town Terminus with the wider area.
There is no bus route directly outside the property. The nearest useful stop is on Colborne Road, around five minutes downhill, with services available from both the airport and the town bus terminus. This arrangement can make the downhill stop a practical option for outward journeys, while arrivals with luggage may prefer a taxi or private transport.
Parking is limited on the surrounding streets. The guesthouse also has two private parking spaces nearby, although these are not suitable for vans. This makes the property more appropriate for standard cars, public transport users and pedestrians than for larger vehicles.
The Marton also places visitors within reach of St Peter Port’s cultural surroundings. Victor Hugo’s former home, Hauteville House, is highlighted alongside the guesthouse’s local information, connecting the stay with one of the town’s notable literary landmarks. With its elevated residential setting, town access, in-house dining and practical transport links, Marton Guest House suits independent travellers and short-break visitors seeking a quieter base near St Peter Port.
