WHY GUERNSEY
Cliff paths, sandy bays and a harbour town — an hour's flight from the mainland.
Guernsey is smaller and quieter than Jersey, with a south-coast cliff path, beaches on the west and St Peter Port's granite harbour. Our stays are the country-house and coastal hotels with spas and sea views.

Guernsey, answered.
When is the best time to visit Guernsey?
Guernsey is at its best from late spring to early autumn for the coast and the sea. May and September give you much of the warmth with far fewer crowds and better prices.
How do I get to Guernsey?
Guernsey is reached by air, with the nearest airport a short transfer from most stays. Retreat48 works out the sensible airport and the real door-to-door time from wherever you're starting.
What is Guernsey best for?
Guernsey is best for sea air, walking and switching off. Cliff paths, sandy bays and a harbour town — an hour's flight from the mainland.
