I am writing this short note while sat on the ferry after having holidayed in Guernsey for the week with my family.
I'm fortunate enough to spend some considerable time on this charming Chanel island with my work but it is only the second time that my folks have come with me. We stayed in a friendly hotel in Guernsey named the Rocquettes which is situated in the harbor and capital of Guernsey St Peter Port.
St Peter Port or town as the Guerns call it is the capital of Guernsey and is an excellent place to stay when checking out the island with plenty to do and see. It is full of trendy small shops and as the island is VAT free there are some great little deals to be found.
There are some fantastic places to eat in Guernsey that cater for all tastes and being a harbor the fish bistros are especially good with lots of fresh locally caught fish on the menu.
There are also some great friendly boozers on the island with plenty of character and some that serve good food including "The Swan Inn" in St Peter Port which is listed in the Michelin guide, or maybe the boozer on the beach at Cobo Bay where you can watch the sunset while enjoying your favourite.
The beaches on Guernsey are spectacular to say the least as are the cliff top walks with stunning views, and any person who likes to do a little bit of fishing could not go to a better place. I took my boy George and my Pa in law out on a fishing trip with one of the local fisherman and can't believe the number and range of fish that we caught. We even got the cook back at the hotel to prepare our evening meal with some of them.
