Accommodation

175 active businesses5 niches across 5 sectors

One hundred and seventy-five places to stay across five sub-sectors: 91 self-catering operators weighted to St Martin and Castel, 43 hotels anchored by the Old Government House — Guernsey's only five-star — 22 guest houses, 11 campsites with La Bailloterie trading since 1963, and three hostels that include no backpacker beds. —

From the census · Chapter 10 of 16 Read the full chapter →

172 organisations are counted with Accommodation as their primary sector — 5% of everything with a sector on record, and the 10th largest of 16. An estimated 79% of the sector is counted, measured against an independent listing rather than assumed.

The 175 listed on this page and the 172 counted above are different claims, not a discrepancy: this page lists everyone who works in Accommodation; the census counts those whose primary sector it is.

Every counted organisation has an island on record, so both ends of this row are shares of everything counted. Both ends are shares of the organisations whose parish is on record — parish is null by contract on Alderney, Sark and Herm, so the off-island rows above are not in either base.

The seven parishes are Castel, St Martin, Forest, St Andrew, St Saviour, St Pierre du Bois and Torteval — everything outside St Peter Port, St Sampson and Vale.
