Guernsey Travels

My first surprise, as I prepared for a visit to Guernsey was the plane! It was ever so small! But it’s just a short flight over the English Channel to Guernsey, so it was fine. From the taxi to the hotel, I looked at the views and wondered what the next couple of days would be like. Very different to England. Very relaxing.

First, sightseeing – around the whole island with a tour guide. We stopped at many beauty spots, cliffs and beaches. The tour ended in St Peter Port by the Harbour, and I headed to the shops (all tax free!)

The afternoon was even more exciting as I listened to the historic stories by Annette Henry. The guide told tales of murder and torture, and took us to the gory sites. Glad it was daylight, not a night tour!

I took the ferry to Herm the next day, less inhabited and only one hotel! I had a walking tour and we walked around the whole island in less than 3 hours, returning to the harbour across a beautiful white sandy beach

On the last day Guernsey, it rained! But we still went for a hike to the cliff tops – the views were amazing views, and even Jersey was visible too.

Soon it was time to go home, but I thought Guernsey was charming, very quiet, laid back and easygoing. A great experience, but make sure you take your walking boots and be ready for fresh air and exercise!

Pomme d’Or is a historic hotel on the island of Jersey and enjoys a well-earned reputation for excellent service and boasts a prime location in the heart of St Helier.  Charmingly compact, with trendy Liberation Square at its epicentre, designer boutiques and high street names are all found within St Helier’s pedestrianised streets. Whether you’re looking for spas, shopping, golf, history, heritage, fun, forest or a gastronomic feast, you’ll find them all in Jersey. Extend your stay with 3 nights on Guernsey, easily reached by ferry. The island is steeped in history and there are many reminders around the island of the German occupation (the Channel Islands were the only part of the British Isles successfully invaded by the Nazis). Guernsey is well known for its beautiful beaches like Cobo Bay and is also a perfect spot for foodies with so much local produce on offer – particularly local seafood. Enjoy a relaxing stay at The Duke Hotel, in a quiet location just a short stroll down to St Peter Port.  Everything you need for a perfect break.
