We stayed in the Perelle apartment from 10-17 July. The apartment was very well appointed and comfortable - Kevin and Cindy were very good hosts (apologies about the washing machine!). La Pointe Farm is very well located for exploring the north west corner of Guernsey. We were very fortunate with the weather which made Guernsey even more enjoyable. Dinner at the Imperial Hotel (Pleinmont) is to be recommended.

We stayed at la Pointe Farm at the end of June as an adult family of 7 - one couple in perelle, one granny in cobo, and one couple and daughter and boyfriend in portelle. The arrangement worked brilliantly - we all had our own space but could access the garden for meals in the sunshine through the ground floor garden flat - poor old granny must have thought she was living in a railway carriage at times!
All the apartments were light sunny, beautifully appointed, clean and comfortable with decent beds, and Kevin and Cindy are delightful hosts.
Large tv a boon for Wimbledon!!!
Things we loved about Guernsey:
the weather - were we lucky or is it always 28 degrees and sunny?!
the speed limit and slow pace of life.
the glorious plants and flowers which were EVERYWHERE!!
St Peters Port - loved ambling through the narrow streets
the walks along the cliff paths and beaches
kiosks and fresh crab sandwiches
sark- and especially herm -NOTE! DO NOT leave booking your tickets on arrival at the harbour because you most certainly will struggle to get on the sailing of your choice. BOOK YOUR TICKETS IN ADVANCE IF YOU CAN. Choose a sunny day for herm and stay a couple of nights at the hotel there, if not, don't eat in the tavern on the island but head for the pub attached to the hotel - much nicer and less busy.
try the following:
lunch/dinner at the fleur du jardin hotel, the farmhouse hotel, the jerbourg hotel- all have lovely terraces and pools - in particular the jerbourg on the coast in St Martins which overlooks Herm and Sark. Lunch at deer hound pub near airport - looks grotty from the front but super terrace and garden and great nosh.
Crabby jacks was ok but very busy and food a bit mediocre! Also recommended dinner at the the auberge du val by friends who live on guernsey but we didn't have time.
For ready made meals ( better than M and S by far)we'd certainly recommend a visit to the COOK shop in St Peters Port. All food tastes home cooked. If you want ...

My partner and I stayed in the Wing at La Pointe Farm from 10th to 17th July, 2010. We found the little apartment extremely well-appointed, with every creature comfort provided. One of our favorite features was the little garden, which enabled us to breakfast outside when the weather was fine, and chase the seagulls off! We also loved the fact that we had a fabulous view of the sea from the lounge, which we never tired of gazing at.
Our hosts, Kevin and Cindy were an amazing source of information and advice about what to see and where to go on the island, and we discovered that cycling was definitely the best way to get about and see it all.
In general, the islanders were extremely friendly and helpful, from the staff at Cycleworld, to restaurateurs - and not least of all Kevin and Cindy.
We found the island wonderfully relaxing and La Pointe Farm the best place to do just that - relax and get away from it all. It was quiet, but close to shops and restaurants, so that we were within walking or cycling distance from a number of options.
Guernsey itself is not only a gem of an island - the flowers are breathtaking and it's a nature-lovers' paradise - but is of tremendous historical interest, covering a broad span of time from early to recent history. We strongly recommend both Castle Cornet and the Occupation Museum, amongst others.
Last, but not least, Guernsey is the best place we've been to yet, for seafood. The most fabulous crab and lobster are to be had at almost every eatery on the island (and there are a great deal!) and we'll definitely be coming back for more.

We had a lovely stay at La Point Farm June 12th - 20th 2010. The cottage was comfortable with all the amenities you could wish for. We had good weather during the week and enjoyed walking and experiencing the beautiful views and sunsets. We have already recommended Guernsey to several of our friends!

We had the most fantastic week . Really lucky with the weather - hardly a cloud in the sky for the week in June 19th-25th . It was our first trip to Guernsey and it is up there with our top holidays ! We found the Perella apartment great , well equiped and so nice to come back to sit in the early evening sunshine before going down to the beach to watch the sunset.Great if you love history as there is so much to see. Enjoyed some fabulous walks and found the pace of the island to be so relaxing . Thank you so much for making our week perfect.

Our second year running staying at La Pointe Farm and it was even better this time round!! We stayed (again) in Rocquaine Apartment which suits us perfectly (ground floor entry all on one level and with direct access to the garden).
The apartment was as well equipped and immaculate as last year but our stay was improved by the fact that the bathroom has been completely refurbished to an even higher standard.
We were completely spoilt with a week of amazing weather and have returned home with great suntans from seven days on the beach. We discovered L'Eree beach this year (having always been great fans of Cobo) and it has become our firm favourite. L'Eree is quieter and more interesting with an excellent tea rooms just across the road and clean loos at the top of the beach. The water was as clear as I have seen anywhere in the world (though a little chillier than more tropical destinations!) Highly recommended.
Thanks Kevin and Cindy for another great holiday. We'll be back!

Stayed in The Wing from 6/6 - 12/6. Clean & sufficient for our stay. Felt there was a bit of dampness & clothes smelt of cigarette smoke, think this was from the the air vent in the bathroom. However a good place to stay thank you.

We stayed in the L'Eree Apartment June 5 - 13th. What a lovely Barn Conversion this is; furnished to a high standard, lovely and clean and all mod cons. Plus fab views over L'Eree Bay on one side and the countryside on the other. The history of La Pointe Farm and the old barracks and prison is really interesting and the guy at the Occupation Museum was very knowledgable about its past. A very nice welcome touch was the bottle of red wine, biscuits and carton of milk. The 'farm' setting is lovely and our introduction to the animals by your daughter (didnt catch her name - sorry!) was really nice. We fell for Harriet in a big was and are now looking to get a couple of goats. We know Guernsey well as have family here, and this time we were over for a wedding do (and extended holiday!)It was so relaxing to stay self-catering so we didnt have to rush around for meal times or cleaners. It was very good of you also to let us have a spare key for the week so that Granpa could do his own thing on occasion. Would definately recommend la Pointe and would also come back again in the future. Hope I havent written too much - could go on with more! Lots of love Gillx

We stayed at the Cobo Apartment during during the first week on June 2010. We were in Guernsey for a surfing holiday...and teachers at Guernsey Surf School at Vazon Bay were brilliant and good surfing. Beaches were lovely (and clean!). Kevin and Cindy were very helpful, and although we had a broken down washing machine, they kindly (and without hesitation) allowed us to use their industrial one as well as their tumble dryer (for which we are very grateful....thanks). Facilities in the apartment were spot on and the horses are lovely. Can't wait to come again.
