We stayed in Mirus Cottage from April 3th-17th 2010. We liked the well equipped kitchen and the fact that there are two bedrooms, and of course the big TV screen :-) Also the rural location is great. Since it was still early in the year it got quite chilly at night but an electric heater was provided to heat the living/kitchen area. - We liked Guernsey, but can recommend especially the boat trips the Herm and Sark. Too bad there was no boat service yet to Alderney. Be careful while driving on Guernseys roads: they are narrow with a lot of dangerous bends and intersections, especially when your car is left-hand driven! And there is an amazingly high volume of traffic, so beware. We can recommend LaPointe Farm without reserve.

Our first stay in the wing, having been in all the other apartments over the years, this is now our favorite. From eating at the dining table by the windows, enjoying the view across the fields, sea and Pleimont, to sitting in the private secluded garden area, wonderful, peaceful a little bit of heaven, which to us just reflects Guernsey. The walks in the lanes, the views and of course the food.

My husband and I, along with a friend, stayed in the Rocquaine apartment from March 25 to the 30th. It was perfect. The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen well stocked, and the livingroom was cosy. We were visiting Guernsey as tourists and after a long day of tramping the hills, it was lovely to return to our "home away from home".
Cindy and Kevin were terrific hosts, never intruding, but always willing to answer questions or give suggestions. On our last night, we went to a pub recommended by them and had a wonderful dinner and a magnificent sunset. I look forward to returning to Guernsey and La Pointe Farm.

My husband and I stayed at L'eree apartment in March. We were working on our boat so needed accommodation. L'eree met all our needs as we used it as a base to sleep and eat after long hours spent servicing and anti-fouling the boat. L'eree had more than adequate equipment, comfortable beds and plenty of hot water - perfect for easing aching limbs.
It was lovely being able to watch the views and sunsets from the upper windows. As ever, we loved the west coast road journey to and from the boat, each day.

We stayed in “Cobo” apartment for a week from 20th to 27th March 2010. Fabulous, from the flowers and wine on arrival, to the enormous bed! Never seen such a big bed, and so comfortable. Lovely apartment. Everything you could possibly need was provided.
We loved Guernsey, from the shops in St Peter’s Port, and elsewhere, to the attractions, from Neolithic tombs, to more recent history, with the many museums, etc. Lovely talking to Cindy as well about the history of La Pointe Farm, despite the rain!
Some lovely walks as well, especially along the south coast. Beautiful scenery.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and can’t wait to visit again. Would recommend La Pointe Farm to anyone.
Kim and Paul Brown.

I stayed in No.4 apartment from 19th - 22nd March 2010. I found the apartment very stylish and warm with all mod cons and the nice surprise of flowers and a bottle of wine as well as the usual milk, tea, coffee and biscuits. The T.V. was a great size for watching the Rugby Internationals! It was even warm enough one day to sit in the lovely garden with a book!
I have to sing Guernsey's praises for a lived there for some years when I was first married and have visited often since. It is almost a mirror image for me of St. Ives in Cornwall where I now live. I never tire of the views of Castle Cornet and the islands
and the lovely beaches - large and sandy in places and small with high cliffs in others. There's so much to explore and many places of interest to see e.g. the museums, Victor Hugo's House, the Little Chapel, the folk museum and so on.
I managed to fit in some retail therapy as usual,perfume for myself and a birthday present for a grand-daughter from the wonderful Bruce Russell & Son Goldsmiths.There's a good restaurant there as there are all over the island.
One useful tip - even if you take your car which I did - you can have an hour and a half tour round the coast of Guernsey on a local bus (7A) for only 60p from the bus station in St. Peter Port.It gives an immediate overview of the island.
The island looked lovely at this time of year with all the wonderful flowers. As I've done in the past I came home with 4 bunches of freesias which cost 50p a bunch from the growers honesty boxes at the sides of the lanes. They will be a fragrant reminder of yet another wonderful visit to my favourite island.

We stayed in the one bedroom Perelle apartment for a week in late October 2009. We found it clean, well appointed and comfortable; the flowers and bottle of wine waiting for us on our arrival were a wonderful touch. It was a quiet and relaxing atmosphere. We spent the days driving and walking around the island; if you are a WW II buff, there are a number of places that will appeal. We did not frequent any restaurants, except for going for coffee and pastries at each of the three branches of the Victor Hugo coffee shop. Instead, each day we stopped at the hedge-veg boxes at the end of many of the driveways, leaving money (on the honor system) for the freshest of home gardener vegetables that we cooked up each evening and ate with bread we picked up earlier in the day. We would come back to Guernsey and La Pointe Farm apartments without hesitation---great atmosphere and good value for the money.

Having read the delightful book “The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society”,we decided to visit the island and see it for ourselves. We flew overnight from Toronto to Guernsey via Gatwick arriving at La Pointe Farm somewhat tired. We were delighted with the comfort and completeness of the apartment, particularly with the welcoming vase of freesias and the makings for a cup of tea. We found the apartment (Cobo) to be very well appointed with all one might need for a week’s holiday.
We enjoyed the rural aspects of the western side of Guernsey and found La Pointe Farm to be well located for peaceful walks in the lanes down to L’Eree and Rocquaine Bays.
We spent a day on Herm, fascinated by a community without any cars. We walked over to Belvoir Bay and on the way back stopped to have a pint and snack in the warmth of the Mermaid Tavern.
At low tide, a walk out on the causeway to Lihou Island was most enjoyable . We rented a car which allowed us to get easily to some spectacular areas, particularly the cliff top walks along the south coast. Le Gouffre and Jerbourg Point are outstanding. There is an excellent restaurant and gift store close to the Le Gouffre parking lot.
Because finding a parking space in St. Peter Port is so difficult we found it better to take the bus from the L’Eree Hotel into town (7 or 7A. It is worth noting this bus goes round the island so you can have a grand tour for 60 pence!) In the opposite direction the fish and chips takeaway at Cobo Bay is worth the trip by itself.
Good weather helped make this a memorable vacation. Thank you Kevin and Cindy for lending us the book on the island history during WWII and the German Occupation, and thank you for the bottle of wine and chocolate cookies we found waiting for us in Cobo.

We have visited Guernsey a number of times, always in May. To us this is the best time of year as the flowers are glorious. This time we visited in October and were blessed with glorious warm, sunny weather. We have stayed in Mirus Cottage a number of times and we find it a peaceful and relaxing home from home. La Pointe Farm is in an ideal location - short walk to the beach and L'Eree Hotel (which serves excellent food). The walk along the green lanes from La Pointe and then onto the beach round to Roquaine is lovely. A stroll to the Reservoir on a sunny Sunday afternoon is not to be missed. We thoroughly recommend the purchase of the Guernsey Walks book (from Tourist Information) which takes you off the beaten track and points out things so easily missed, including the wildlife. We love the empty beaches and the French/English mix, especially the food! A trip to Herm is an absolute must, just to see Shell Beach if nothing else. Kevin and Cindy are a great couple and we hope to see them again next year.
