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.
The sitting room is snug, with an open fire and freeview
There is a large farmhouse dining room, with attached ktchen
The kitchen has microwave, washer/drier, freezer etc.
And on the first floor..
Master bedroom with library reading chair
and en-suite shower room
The bathroom has a bath with shower, and the bunkroom has a basin
Top floor on the left has three singles,
and a double on the right.
The cobbled high street has very little traffic and you can see glimpses of the sea from the top windows
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, library, cinema & 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). | ||
