Hi Kevin & Cindy
Thanks for letting us stay in your Rocquaine Apartment 31st Aug - 12th Sept.The facilities and equipement in the accomadation were brilliant, everything we needed.La Pointe is well situated,post office and food store a short distance away, we stayed in St Peters Port last year but found being on the west side of the island was for more relaxing.
We flew from East Midlands on Aurigney new service 1 hour 10mins to be on the best island, fantastic.

We have just returned from a wonderful holiday in Guernsey(5-12 Sept)staying in your Perelle appartment which we found very clean and comfortable.We travelled around the whole island and spent our days walking the wonderful cliff paths of Guernsey,stopping off at the delightful tearooms on the way.The weather at the start of our holiday was superb and we spent a wonderful day in Herm with its beautiful beaches.The garden to the rear of the property provided us with sunshine right into the evening and it was lovely to return after a day out and relax in the garden with a book and a glass of wine until the sun went down.We drove to St Peters Port each evening,where the restaurants are varied and plentiful.The pace of life on Guernsey is much slower than here,allowing us to really unwind and relax.Many thanks for helping us to enjoy Guernsey to the full.

Dear Kevin and Cindy,
Thank you once again for another lovely holiday. We stayed in Mirus cottage with our daughter and 20 month old granddaughter, and 3 dogs. We were once again very comfortable in the cottage which was very clean and fresh and very well equipped. We ate out every lunch time and ate in in the evenings.
Also staying with us was our 2 sons and daughters in law with our 3 grandsons aged between 20 months and 3 years they were staying in the apartment called Vazon this was very comfortable and clean and we joined them each evening for a family meal. We all had a lovely family holiday, and would certainly recommend La Pointe Farm for a stay on Guernsey.
We used to come to Guernsey many years ago when our 3 children were very young and always enjoyed our stay. When we both turned 60 in 2005 we decided to have a family holiday again in Guernsey, then we missed a couple of years when we had an influx of grandchildren arriving but now intend to spend lot's of family holidays here once again.
We love the coastal paths and the dogs all loved the variety of walks.
Thank you once again for your hospitality and hope we were not too noisy, with 4 children, 3 and under, and 3 dogs it was sometimes difficult to keep everybody quiet all the time!

Visiting the Channel Islands was on our wish list for al long time. This year we were able to make a holiday trip from the Netherlands to South England, via Poole to Guernsey and Jersey and back to Holland via France. It was really a great holiday.
We stayed in the Mirus Cottage from July 18 – July 25 with our 3 children. Mirus isn’t very large but big enough for five persons. It has its own small garden to relax or to enjoy a barbecue. Mirus is a comfortable house with all necessary equipment. The hospitality was great. When we had a small problem on Sunday evening, Kevin was even willing to come immediately and help us.
Mirus was build during the Second World War to house officers from the Mirus cottage. Everywhere on the island we saw the survivals of the German occupation. Guernsey has a rich history, but unfortunately also a bloody history. Therefore it felt if we lived in Mirus on historical ground.
We visited the beaches and some museums and we made trips to Alderney and Herm as well, where it struck me that each island has its own character. It was a nice and relaxed week for us in Guernsey.

Dear Kevin and Cindy
We did leave notes (and pics!) to say how much we enjoyed our holiday at La Pointe Farm last week (L’Eree apartment - 23rd August), but my note was very rushed so I just wanted to reiterate that your accommodation is absolutely first class and the girls and I loved every minute of our stay – I only wish that our whole stay in Guernsey had been with you as the location and everything about it was perfect.
It was very much a last minute rushed booking but one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! After a particularly manic year at work my summer break was the therapy/rest that I needed.
Having been born in Guernsey (my parents brought me to the mainland when I was a baby) I hadn’t been back since I was seven/eight years old and wanted to see the island again – I wasn’t disappointed in spite of it being many, many years since that last visit! I also wanted the girls to visit and they loved it – and their enjoyment was enhanced by having your lovely apartment to stay in.
We fully intend to come back next year and I am thinking of during the school Easter holidays for a week – I only have one weeks leave at Easter otherwise I would do two weeks!
I’ve had a quick look at availability and will chat with the girls (and get an ok from my boss!). We loved the apartment but thought it might be nice to stay in the cottage, but to be honest I know that whichever we chose we won’t be disappointed.
Can you just confirm please how we secure a booking – do we pay a deposit or full amount up front?
This time I would also like to come by ferry rather than by plane and then hire a car and would be interested to know the cost of that– I note that you can offer special rates.
Thank you again both of you and I look forward to hearing from you re my questions above.
Best wishes
Penny Goldwater

We had a great 10 days at the end of August. The accomodation and location was great. We explored the whole island in our 10 days and had a couple of great beach days at Cobo Bay in the North. We also enjoyed a great cliff walk on the South of the Island starting at Fermain Bay. Thanks Kevin and Cindy

We stayed in Cobo apartment from 1st-8th July 2009, arriving just at the end of the heatwave. The apartment was perfect for the 2 of us - very comfortable and well equipped. The farm was very quiet, and we did not hear any of the other guests at all, resulting in a very peaceful stay. Guernsey lived up to Chris' memories from childhood and we had a very relaxing time with a good mix of lazing on the beach and gentle ambles around the beautiful coastpath. We ate out every night bar one, and had no difficulties finding a good choice of food.

our latest visit was 9th to the 17th July 2009, when we stayed in Cobo Apartment. The apartment was excellent and comfortable, just right for the two of us, with all home comforts included. The accomodation is secluded but within easy reach of all amienities, even without a car, as the bus route is just out on the main road.The variety of restaurants and good value means you are spoilt for choice, favourites 'Imperial', 'Crabbie Jacks', and many more. It was another peaceful, restful weeks, apart from the wonderful walks, with lots of fantastic views. Looking forward to our next visit

We stayed in Rocquaine Apartment from 11th to 18th July 2009 as a family of four; two parents, one very active toddler and Grandma.
The accommodation was perfect for our needs, being on the ground floor and all on one level with access to the beautiful enclosed garden.
The main living area was perfect for family living with open-plan kitchen (very well equipped), lounge and dining areas. The two bedrooms were light and airy and everywhere was spotlessly clean.
The apartment was perhaps a little smaller than we had anticipated from the photos but had everything we needed and didn't feel in any way cramped with three adults and a child.
Having spent all my childhood holidays in Guernsey it was a real treat to see my own child enjoy the simple pleasures that the island has to offer. It was as if time had stood still seeing him playing on the sand, splashing in the sea and climbing over the rock pools. Our favourite beach always was (and continues to be) Cobo Bay which is large, sandy and safe for children. It has all the essential facilities you need for days on the beach and the added benefit of the Cobo Tea Rooms which do excellent sandwiches (voted best crab sarnies in Guernsey this summer) and homemade cakes. We lunched there most days!
We also visit Saumarez Park which has a large and safe children's playground which proved a useful diversion on the couple of cloudy days we had.
On the couple of occasions when kind Grandma babysat, we ate out at The Auberge (Jerbourg) and Da Nello's (St Peter Port) - we highly recommended both.
The 'Home James' service is also one to consider if you enjoy a bottle of wine with dinner. You drive yourself to your pub/restaurant in your own car and you then get driven home by a 'James' driver who puts his mini moped in your boot!! Brilliant idea.
We also ate at Crabby Jacks (Vazon Bay) which is great for kids, with a very extensive menu, decent family food and efficient service. It was reason...

(L’Eree apartment, 27th June – 4th July, 2009.)
We headed to Guernsey for tranquillity and relaxation and it was obvious within seconds of pulling into La Pointe Farm that we had come to the right place!
Set in an idyllic location in the south west of the island, the property is surrounded by acres of land occupied only by friendly farm animals, scurrying rabbits and quaint outbuildings. It is perfectly situated for beach visits, country strolls and cliff walks and, on days when we fancied going slightly further afield, we simply hopped in the car and drove up the west coast to explore the flatter – but equally beautiful – north of the island.
L’Eree itself is reached through a small courtyard and up a flight of granite steps. The bottom floor of the apartment (containing the bedrooms and bathroom) is on the first floor of the three-storey building, while the living room and kitchen area are at the top (as soon as you peer out of the kitchen window and take in the stunning vista towards the cliffs of Pleinmont, it becomes obvious why the owners selected this layout!). Upon tearing ourselves away from the view, we noticed that it was tastefully decorated throughout and equipped with all the mod cons, including Wi-Fi, a large widescreen TV and the biggest bed I’ve ever seen (you've got to see it to believe it!).
We came home from our holiday with nothing but good memories of La Pointe Farm and the island as a whole. Thanks, Kevin and Cindy, for your warmth and generosity – we will certainly be seeing you again!
