Spacious Guernsey cottage, with views over both East and West coast, & surrounded by fields.
Delightfully situated, between Cobo bay and Vazon bay, which are a 20 minute stroll away (or a 2 minute drive/cycle), and a 10 minute stroll to Sausmarez park or the wooded headland the Guet. Ideal for families & those who enjoy the best sunny beaches and beachlife, including the best surfing on the island, yet having a fabulous and calming retreat for an evenings rest.

Outside there is a dining area and large parking area, which could accommodate up to 5 cars and there is a grassed area next to the dog enclosure.

The property is part of a small holding and very rural with no near neighbours, and very private, and makes for a very restful and relaxing experience.

And there are cows in the next field, and chickens & ducks further down, and the latest addition is Alfie the lamb.

And if you fancy a night out there are several popular restaurants and eateries very close by, at Vazon where there is the wonderful Vistas, and Crabby Jacks, and Cobo where there is the Cobo Bay Hotel and the Rockmount including La Reunion, and the lovely Fleur Du jardin Hotel restaurant a short distance in Kings Mills.
If you prefer a takeout Cobo has the best fish & chips on the island, though you can order online and get anything from Thai Indian Italian Burgers etc if preferred.

- "Authentic cottage with amenities and beach close by cottage beautiful and everything provided that you needed for your stay . Siriol the owner greeted us on arrival and showed us around the cottage where to find things" - "Loved staying here. Would highly recommend. Very pretty, cosy and comfy cottage with all the bits and bobs you need. 1-2 mins walk from the beach and hotel with restaurant nearby too. Definitely returning." - "We stayed at Foxfire Cottage for a week in September and we had a fabulous time. The cottage is a lovely historical building located literally minutes from the beach, a bus stop and a pub and restaurant. It really was the perfect base to explore Guernsey. All the rooms were comfortable, clean and cosy. We especially loved the stable doors at the front and back of the cottage! The Wifi at the cottage was a little patchy, probably due to the very solid stone walls! There was also some noise from the airport (possibly hard to avoid on an island). Otherwise, we had a wonderful stay. Thank you!"

The Ellingham Cottages are nestled within the beautiful parish of St Martins in the south-east of the island. We are only two miles from the picturesque harbour town of St Peter Port and yet are perfectly located for easy access to the stunning south-coast cliffs for scenic hikes; tranquil green lanes ideal for leisurely walks and bike rides; and quiet sandy bays perfect for sunbathing away from the crowds.

The two-bedroom classic cottages at The Ellingham Cottages are on two levels and sleep 4 people, plus an infant (travel cots available on request). The cottages are available for weekly bookings with a Saturday changeover. There is another two-bed cottage which welcomes guests on a Sunday - listed separately.

Downstairs is a fully-equipped kitchen with fridge/freezer, oven, hob, microwave, washing machine etc. The living room has two comfortable sofas and a dining table which seats 4 people. A high chair is available on request. The cottages have a 32" flat-screen TV, plus DvD player and free-sat channels. The bathrooms have either a bath with an overhead shower, or a separate shower.

The patio doors lead to a lovely shared terrace - a perfect spot for enjoying your breakfast. To the front of the cottage is a small garden that catches the afternoon and evening sun. Plus there is a large shared back garden with plenty of places to sit and eat.

Within just a few minutes walk is the parish 'high street', with some shops, a bakery, Co-Op, M&S Food Hall, garages, a pub, cashpoint and pharmacy. There is a regular bus service that runs past the cottage. The bus service is excellent - cheap, reliable and friendly drivers! This service travels to several places, including the main town of St Peter Port. There is also a circular bus route which you can pick up from The Ellingham which takes you all around the island.

Guernsey is a small island and thus relatively easy to get around. Whether you are wanting to lie back and relax on stretching sandy beaches, watch the bustle of the marina, experience culinary delights, or more active experiences, such as surfing, coasteering, wind-surfing, cycling, hiking, swimming or boogie-boarding - Guernsey offers something for everyone to enjoy. We would be happy to make recommendations.

St Peter Port is exceptionally charming, set along the sea-front and with a cobbled high street and VAT-free shopping. A wonderful day can be spent browsing the fashion, beauty and jewellery boutiques before stopping for lunch at a harbour-side restaurant, before maybe visiting the house that Victor Hugo lived in when in exile from France. It is lovely to have a simple sandwich lunch sitting on one of the many benches overlooking the harbour filled with yachts.

The Cottages are a short walk to Sausmarez Manor, with it's sub-tropical gardens, sculpture park and weekly Farmers' Market. Other attractions are Castle Cornet, Vale Castle, the Occupation Museum, Aquarium, Oatlands Play Centre and boutique shops, plus there are the wonderful islands of Sark and Herm to explore - both only a short boat trip away.

- "Really helpful when booking and on arrival. Even went to the trouble of getting me gluten free bread and oat milk, thank you! Very clean, had everything we needed. Peaceful location, very near a bus stop." - "Cosy cottage with well-equipped kitchen, quiet location, easily accessible by public transport, too. Very welcoming hosts." - "This property is in a great location for exploring the best area of Guernsey. Easy walk into village, local pubs/restaurants and access to pretty bays. This property has a number of properties adjoining each other and sharing some outside space. No pool or views of bays from actual cottages is available but this was not a problem for us. Cottages are clean and modern and as described in listing."

- "The superior cottage was immaculately clean and very well equipped. Location is a little way away from St Martin but close enough to the local, food serving pub and bus services to all parts of the island. Supermarkets close by for those who wish to cater for themselves. The only inconvenience for us was the bathroom being downstairs but it was no more than this. The week we stayed was extremely quiet leading to excellent sleep on a first class bed. All in all would recommend for two adult and two kids, four adults would be a bit tight unless very good friends!"

This lovely two bedroom property is set on two levels and is decorated in a fresh, neutral style. The main bedroom is located at the rear, with a rural outlook and has a comfortable king-size bed.

The comfy leather sofas are perfect to sink into, after a day exploring Guernsey, to watch your favourite TV programme on the 32" flat-screen TV with free-sat channels, or to watch a DVD. The garden doors lead to a lovely shared terrace with outdoor tables and chairs - a perfect spot for enjoying your breakfast. To the front of the cottage is a small garden that catches the afternoon and evening sun. Plus there is a large shared back garden. You’ll love this cottage for its facilities, convenient location and the peacefulness!

- "Someone came to work on to outside of the house, but would have been good to be informed that he would come, as we were awoken by the bell ringing (unneccesarily). Otherwise we had a great stay!" - "Our cottage was perfect for our family. It was comfortable when we needed some downtime to just hang out and its location was a perfect location to base our holiday. It's not far from St. Peter Port, it's within walking distance of several fantastic restaurants, a market, Sausmarez Manor, and more. We had great walks to Moulin Huet Bay and Fermain Bay from the cottage as well. I'm really going to miss Guernsey but hope to return soon and would happily return to Ellingham."

A fully modernised cottage which adjoins the main house, directly opposite the stunning Longis Beach and Fort Raz.

The Cottage sleeps 4 in two double bedrooms and the accommodation is set out over two floors and enjoys stunning views.

The island of Alderney is one of the UK's best kept secrets, only 80 miles south of the UK's southern coast and the cottage is located at the eastern end of the island, about 1.5 miles from the town of St Anne.

It should be noted that the island of Alderney is a separate island to Guernsey - a 15 minute flight away or just over an hour on a small boat. Our postal district is Guernsey which is why it may seem confusing!

- "After a very warm welcome we were very happy to find this clean, neat and cosy cottage where we felt immediately at home. The cottage was well equipped. The location on the island was unique with view on the sea and access to the beach. We are grateful for this extraordinary experience," - "We loved this property with views of the sea to wake up to and the beach a stone throw's away-mostly deserted in June. The night skies were amazing too. The cottage is set in beautiful grounds with seats to sit outside. Orange tipped butterflies danced at our feet and we saw Hummingbird moths. The cottage is beautiful and has everything you could possibly need and Gill and Nigel are very friendly and helpful. St Anne's is about 3 miles away but taxi's anywhere are £5 and are very efficient-we used A1 Taxi's when we didn't want to walk. The island is a paradise for nature lovers with Alderney Wildlife Trust trips available to see bats, blonde hedgehogs, puffins and "Gannet Rock". Volunteers spend a year on the island doing work for the Trust which we were very impressed with. There are lots of places to eat out in Bray and St Anne's-all the meals we had were very good. We highly recommend this property and island if you just want to get away fromm it all and take a step back in time-no one locks their doors on the island!"

- "Really enjoyed our stay at Ellingham Cottages. We stayed here while visiting family who live in Gurnsey and it was an ideal base. Lovely spacious rooms and well equipped. The library of books, dvds and games is a great extra and a few complimentary groceries (Gurnsey butter, Gurnsey Gauche, bread, cheese) was a really nice touch. Would use this property again on a return visit to Guensey." - "Quite a lot of noise early mornings from accommodation above"
