Les Roitelets (the salmon pink one) is our Alderney home, but we do allow friends and family (and others willing to treat the house with love and respect) to stay when we're not able to be there. To this end the cottage is fully equipped for self-catering holidays. Prices will depend on how willing you are to leave the house tidy and clean, mow the (small) lawn, replace any food you use, etc. but it's usually a fraction of the going rate. Please note: these pictures were taken 10 years ago when we bought the house. It's much the same today, just slightly nicer! (New pictures due soon)
The ground floor has a cosy sitting room, with an open driftwood fire, and a large farmhouse dining room with small well-equipped kitchen attached.
The master bedroom is large and airy, with en suite shower/wc and sea views. There's also a large bathroom and a bunk room (with wash basin) on the first floor.
The top floor has two further bedrooms, one with three single beds and one with a double. Both rooms have sea and town views.
The cobbled High Street is quiet, and the garden is sheltered. There's a small private patio with table and chairs, and a lawn with a bench.
The house is equipped with washer/drier, fridge, freezer, microwave, gas cooker/oven sink, cleaning equipment, beach equipment, books, TV/video/dvd cassette, petrol lawn mower etc, but no dishwasher - and our landrover is not included. However, the entire island is within easy walking distance (2 miles max), and there are cars and cycles to hire, taxis, and (sometimes) even a bus!
Island attractions include, wonderful scenery, unusual military and maritime history (incuding an Elizabethan shipwreck), unique natural history (with an innovative wildlife trust), some of the best fishing in Europe, golf club, sailing club, flying club, shooting, tennis and other clubs, pottery, library, museum, railway, lighthouse, Channel Jumper factory, pubs, take-aways and some excellent restaurants, plus island tours, and sea tours and trips to Burhou and the other islands. (There are also two doctors' practices, a cottage hospital, a dentist, a vet, and all other essential facilities and services too). Taxis and car hire etc.
