A charming 16th-century coaching inn

Within Thomas Hardy’s enchanting village of Evershot...

The Crown Club

The Crown Club at The Old Government House Hotel is the most stylish and relaxing rendezvous in all of Guernsey - the perfect spot to enjoy the company of friends and colleagues over a few drinks and a light meal. Created from the original 18th century Old Crown Offices it provides an intimate and flexible collection of inviting spaces that are perfect for a wide range of occasions and functions, including a glass-walled wine and whisky-tasting room.


The plush and cosy bar has a very traditional and opulent feel, with red leather banquette seating and a wealth of antique brass fittings. It offers an outstanding selection of premium whiskies and British gins, Champagne, vodkas and cognacs as well as cocktails, beers and fine wines, including signature vintages from our sister wine estate Bouchard Finlayson.

Clay shooting

The Ashford sporting clay range features targets that simulate the game typical of this region. Beginners enjoy a pleasant introduction to the sport and a thorough grounding in the safety and etiquette of shooting in general.

You’ll meet at the Equestrian Centre to meet your instructor who will then direct you to the shooting range. Clay shooting participants must be over 16 years of age.

Archery

Enjoy this ancient sport played by kings and lords for centuries. All the family can participate simultaneously from ages seven upwards, and find out who is the champion! We use our 50m indoor centre when necessary so this activity is not weather dependent but please bring warm outdoor clothing, rain jacket and comfortable footwear.

Set up according to the National British Grand Championship guidelines with rubber 3D targets and using arrows that are the only ones of their kind in Ireland, this activity takes place at the Equestrian Centre, and participants are required to be as tall as the bow.
