Truly British with a French flair. Guernsey and her neighbouring islands of Herm, Sark and Alderney provide beautiful little cameos. The island is steeped in history and there are many reminders of the German Occupation (The Channel Islands were the only part of the British Isles successfully invaded by the Nazis).
Local crab, lobster and prawns regularly feature on restaurant menus, and the food is so good that French visitors often sail over for their dinner! A great time to visit Guernsey is during the Tennerfest festival, a six-week slice of foodie heaven in October-November.
The island attracts families seeking a traditional holiday with fabulous beaches and a wide range of activities. Couples are discovering that Guernsey is an increasingly fashionable place, boasting romantic hideaways and stylish restaurants.
You can easily enjoy day trips to the nearby Islands of Herm (only 20-minute boat crossing), Sark (50-minute boat crossing) and Alderney (one-hour boat crossing).
