Self-catering in the Channel Islands

[Yak]

Any experiences or recommendations to share? We're thinking of going for a week just before school summer hols start. We'll probably be 2 adults and a 15 month old son. I can't do more than a couple of days in a hotel, so ideally we'd want a small cottage or similar. Thanks in advance oh knowledgeable ones!

Hi Yak,

We went to Herm for several holidays when I was a child - it is such a small island that I just looked on the website and everything seems pretty much the same now! There is a small hotel there and several holiday cottages. The beaches are lovely.

look here

Sark is also lovely - the smallest of the channel islands - there are no vehicles at all on the island so you get around buy walking or horse and cart. Here is a link to the self catering page of the Sark website..

Hi. Went to guernsey last April ( regular swim comp over there so went as a family, first racing since baby!) we stayed at The Grange, it is a hotel but at the rear they have lovely self catering 'houses', yes it was a house! 2 beds, bathroom , kitchen and big lounge diner. I think we paid ?350 for the week. Cot and high chair provided.

Lovely island too x
