I write this article whilst sat on the ferry after having visited Guernsey for the week with my folks.
I am lucky enough to get spend some time on this idyllic little island with my work but it is just the second time that my family have come with me. We stayed in a friendly hotel in Guernsey named the Rocquettes which is sited in the harbour 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 glorious restaurants in Guernsey that cater for all tastes and being a harbor the fish restaurants are especially good with a lot 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 impressive to say the least as are the cliff top walks with wonderful views, and anyone who likes to do a bit of fishing couldn't go to a better place. I took my child George and my Father in law out on a fishing expedition with one of the local fisherman and cannot believe the number and assortment of fish that we caught. We even got the chef back at the hotel to prepare our evening meal with a few of them.
