July 22, 2010 - 10:55 AM Louise Reiche - LReiche@zis.ch 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. IP : 82.136.118.151 |
