This apartment is named after Rocquaine Bay. It is about a four minute drive from us and is a long bay with a mix of sand, rocks and pebbles. There are many slipways and steps to this bay and it also has a causeway to Fort Grey maritime museum.

Many fishing and pleasure boats are moored in this bay. At high tide you will often see people fishing from the road over the sea wall. Free parking is available along the coast road.

Rocquaine Apartment is one of four apartments within an old Guernsey barn conversion. When we viewed La Pointe Farm in 1996, with a view to buying, the part of the barn where Rocquaine Apartment now is, was being used to house cattle, but do not worry they are now long gone!

By 1999, the barn was completely transformed into what it is now four modern apartments that have been given the grade of four and five star. In fact, all that is left of the original building are the outer walls.

Rocquaine Apartment is accessed at ground floor level from the granite courtyard. There is one step down into the apartment and once inside, all is on one level. Once inside the apartment the bathroom is the first door on the left. There is then a hallway leading to the twin bedroom it has an extra roll out single bed although when rolled out it severely limits the floor space, with a window overlooking the courtyard; the double bedroom with a window overlooking the patio and front garden has a King size bed that can be split into a twin if required; and the lounge/living/kitchen area where you will find everything you are likely to need for your general day-to-day living, including cooker, microwave, fridge, washing machine, cutlery, pots and pans, TV, DVD and CD player etc. The lounge/living area has a window/door combination overlooking the patio and front garden. This apartment is ideal for families with young children, as during the day the front door can be left open and the children can wander in and out quite safely under supervision. In the evening, children can be safely tucked up in bed but still be heard whilst parents can sit outside enjoying a glass of wine watching the incredible sunsets that can be seen from the patio.

Prices shown are based on up to four persons sharing this apartment, there will be a small charge for extra persons please enquire (babies in cots stay free)

If you want to bring your own laptop, please do, as Rocquaine Apartment is covered by our WI-FI network.

All bed linen and towels (not beach towels) are provided by us. We can also, on request, supply you free of charge with a cot and high chair. There is no charge for electricity or central heating which is available 24/7 and controlled from within the apartment.   

Comments from guests who have stayed in Rocquaine Apartment

Our third visit to Guernsey in as many years and again it didn't disappoint. The weather was so much better than we imagined it would be. Loads to do for kids try Guernsey candles - Hannah made one for 6, Cobo beach is great for paddling and rock pooling. Saumarez Park has a fantastic play area. And lots of fish and chips on the wall at Cobo watching the sunset. Took a few walks around petit port/Jerbourg point. Had some great meals out try Bon Port but book first, do great dip & dine 12pm -2pm, Boathouse in St Peter Port very good also Fleur du Jardin worth a visit. Lots of entertainment in St Peter Port this week which Hannah enjoyed. Midsummer Magic at L'eree and Cobo beaches - what fantastic ideas! Great apartment again, well equipped. Hope to be back again next year.

Had a lovely stay - Thank you. Weather a bit annoying for three days the sun didn't come out till 4 pm. We all enjoyed the trip to Sark especially the rough crossing (fun) & biking around there. We have never known so many eateries in one area. We tried loads all superb. For beach for rock pools & Swimming, Cobo fantastic! Apartment great everything you could wish for thanks again. We will be back! - P.S. We found everyone so friendly even strangers all smile at you, something we're not used to.

A lovely week had by all - many thanks. Highly recommend trips to Sark & Herm great boat rides and walks. Loved walking on the coast paths recommend south of Guernsey for this. Isaac has had a great time - has not stopped smiling all week, been on a little train at Saumarez Manor, horse & carriage ride in Sark, Castle Cornet and loads of boat trips. We were ready to go to bed when he did - Must be the fresh sea air!

Lovely apartment, everything here that anyone would need. Food - We would recommend a visit to La Barbarie, excellent , could not fault it at all. The Imperial on the sea front is also good. We will certainly return.   

May 2006 - Emma & Andy

We've spent an extremely enjoyable ten days at La Pointe Farm. The weather has been superb and the apartment and garden have been a home from home, many thanks - Highlights have included Saumarez Park - super playground and cafe, Cobo Bay & Castle Cornet. We've been really impressed by the amenities all over the Island, clean toilets, free parking, park & ride service. For eating in we'd recommend Forest Stores, Cobo butchers & deli and the hedge boxes throughout the Island. The sausages at Forest Stores were fantastic! For eating out we especially enjoyed Sunday dinner at the Deerhound lunch at Saumarez Manor, the beer garden at Fleur du Jardin and mid week pub food at the Longfrie (walkable) all were good with kids. Finally the friendly train driver and miniature train journey at Saumarez Manor made our little boy's afternoon

I think mum has had a lovely stay in Guernsey for her 70th! The apartment has been lovely and comfortable. We have been so lucky with the weather. Driving seemed so relaxed and peaceful compared with what we are used to. Thanks for everything.
