Le Pommier, Guernsey

Friendly and welcoming, Le Pommier feels very peaceful and secluded within its extensive grounds, but there's lots to see and do nearby. The lovely beach at Cobo Bay is within easy walking distance, as is Saumarez Park and the Guernsey Folk and Costume Museum. Plus Le Pommier’s location at the heart of the island make it a great base to explore further afield. Guernsey’s bus service is very good and there’s a stop just round the corner from the hotel, a 15 minute bus ride will take you right to the harbour in the charming town St Peter Port, Guernsey’s capital, with its cobbled streets, restaurants, shops and museums.

The hotel’s stylish and airy bar & restaurant has a strong local accent serving dishes that showcase bold flavours, local produce and seasonal ingredients. The Lobby Bar is popular with locals and guests alike and in addition to the usual favourites has an excellent and creative cocktail menu. Guernsey’s sunny climate means that al fresco dining is nearly always an option and in the warmer months the outdoor pool is ideal for a quick dip or to lounge alongside.

The landscape of Guernsey is surprisingly varied for its size and there’s plenty to see and do around the island, from beautiful beaches, cliffside walks and country rambles, to historic buildings and museums like the German Occupation Museum, Castle Cornet or Hauteville House – the historic home of Victor Hugo.
