From now until August 26, you can enjoy a four night stay in the four-star Bella Luce Hotel in Guernsey for just £299 per person, based on two adults sharing, if you book on Condor Breaks.
Included in this price is a return ferry from Portsmouth and bed and breakfast accommodation in the quaint Guernsey town of St. Martins. Your double or twin room will have en-suite facilities, satellite TV, a direct-dial telephone, a hairdryer, and tea/coffee-making facilities. You also have access to the hotel’s sauna and solarium, the restaurant where the chef specialises in fresh local seafood, the cosy lounge bar, an outdoor heated pool and gardens.
Guernsey is an excellent place to relax and unwind, with sandy beaches, stunning scenery, and a vast array of shops and restaurants for all your contemporary needs. Geographically, Guernsey is closer to France than England, and people on the island speak both languages and embrace both cultures.
If you want to learn more about Guernsey while you’re there, there are more than enough museums and visitors attractions to see. Take your pick from the National Trust of Guernsey Folk and Costume Museum, the German Occupation Museum, La Vallette Underground Military Museum, the National Trust of Guernsey Victorian Shop and Parlour, Castle Cornet, or the Fort Grey and Shipwreck Museum…to name but a few.
Right through the summer there are things going on in Guernsey. Take a ghost tour through Sausmarez Manor in St. Martins. Check out Randall’s Brewery to learn all about making the perfect ale (and get yourself a free pint while you’re at it). Have a stroll through the beautiful Candie Gardens on a Sunday afternoon to catch one of the weekly music and dance concerts. Pick up some delectable local goods at one of the weekly markets; there’s St. Peter’s country market every Wednesday, the Sausmarez Farmers Market every Saturday and the Castel Parish Farmers Market every other Saturday.
If your money is burning a hole in your pocket, there is ample opportunity for shopping in Guernsey. Getting around the island to do all this couldn’t be easier, or cheaper, as the island tries to provide alternatives to private motors. Bus services are cheap, regular and reliable, with single fares costing just 60p. If you prefer, you can rent a bike from one of Guernsey’s cycle companies (such as Cycleworld), and there are designated cycle lanes on a lot of the roads through the main towns. If you do decide that a car is the way to go, you can rent one from Europcar at Guernsey Airport, or one of the many other car hire companies. It’s a cheap way to travel, with lower petrol duties, free parking, and lower hire rates than much of the rest of Europe, and you can get an information leaflet from the local police station for warnings about any peculiarities.
