Information
Alderney, one of Britain’s best-kept secrets.
The charming Channel Island of Alderney is not the biggest Channel Island, or the smallest, the one without any cars or famous cows. But it is the one you will lose your heart to. Just 8 miles off the coast of France, with no crowds, queues or traffic jams Alderney it offers a world away from today’s fast-paced living.
At just one and a half miles wide and three and a half miles long, Alderney is easy to explore on foot- you are never far from the beautiful coastline or the charming town of St Anne.
Nature is all around you on this small island - take in the stunning views from the cliff paths, go birdwatching, fishing or rock-pooling or relish the tranquillity of a stroll on one of the island's stunning and expansive sandy beaches.
The island is full of history too. Explore Victorian forts and WWII bunkers, visit a Neolithic burial site or follow in the footsteps of legionaires at a Roman fort overlooking the sea, all of which are free to the curious visitor.
There’s also plenty on offer for the sports enthusiast. The island naturally lends itself to kayaking, hiking and cycling. It's a sea swimmer's paradise too, with the long white sands, dunes and sheltered bays. There is a spectacularly scenic nine-hole golf course, a bowling green, clay pigeon shooting tennis or enjoy a game of padel tennis on the newly installed court.
There is no other place in the world like Alderney. It’s a friendly island with an easy pace of life, where children can still roam free.

Accommodation
Welcome to Ingrid's guest house and home. The small guest house with lots of character. You are not a guest, you are a visitor in Ingrid's home.
' I inherited some beautiful classic antique furniture and had to keep it in storage for 8 years until I found the guest house - the two were made for each other. The building is from the late 1700's and I am forunate in that it still retains some original features. The dining room / lounge gives this house an illusion of grandeur with its high ceiling, large sash windows and open fireplace. Some of the furniture - the grandfather clock (restored on the island), welsh dresser and pictures add to the feeling of elegance. The staircase with the original mahogany hand rail leads up to the bedrooms. There are only three rooms, two ensuite and one with its own bathroom. Each room has its own individual decor and I have tried to add a feeling of comfort through the soft furnishings and paintings. All the rooms have an east / west aspect so are full of light. The rooms are equiped with TVs and the trays have a selection of tea, coffee, hot chocolate and home made biscuits.
To the rear of the property is a quiet patio, the beech table in the centre was hand made in the 30s. Surrounded by flower pots, climbing roses and jasmine,you can listen to the fountain and watch the goldfish. Beyond is a small garden, a retreat, a place to relax with a book or bring in a bottle of wine, glasses are of course provided.
Breakfast is a feast of fresh fruit salad, melon or pink grapefruit. Local dairy produce and home made jams and marmelades accompany the cooked breakfast with bread from the bakery '
Art Gallery
About The Gallery
In August 2018 I came upon the idea to gather the group of artists I had come to know in Alderney during some 25 years. It struck me as an artist... That the artist community in the small island of Alderney was in many ways equal to that of St Ives... or to that of Skagen Painters... or to that of the artist community in Provence.
Eventually... all special places around the world attracts painters... photographers... writers...
Such inspiring communities formes naturally over the years and each such place... infiltrates the minds of artists and writers.

Having lived on Guernsey for many years, I am ambarrased to say that I had never visited Alderney before and probably wouldnt have done so without the Pandemic. With little options available for a holiday we like many others decided to have a look. what a pleasant surprise! we have fallen in love with the place and its so easy for us to get to. I have to agree with the comments on here that the best way to discover Alderney is by bycicle and you wont find a more friendly family business anywhere than Cycle and Surf.

Just planned our trip(with fingers crossed) to the Channel Islands this summer. Our original idea was to visit Guernsey and Sark, we didnt really fancy Jersey. having looked throgh the Alderney harbourguide we are interested in coming over and having a look. Whats the best way? ferry or flight? there will probably be four of us?
We have added some comments to the businesses we have visited in the past, its great to see they are still trading and shows the strength and resilliance of the islanders.
Love you Alderney, hope to visit this year xx
We spent almost six weeks cruising around the Channel Islands. We used the guide's and noticed that it seems customary to leave reviews on the businesses for future visitors.
Well we visited so many over this period of time, so we will be posting our reviews over a period of time.
It's trying to remember our experiences in each case.
Anyway we are going to give it a try.
Hope you're visitors to the guide's find our comments of use when making decisions on where to go.

So until next time Alderney

Please give him a warm welcome.
it was great to reminiss on my trip. the comments I have left are honest and hopefully helpful to future visitors.
thanks
We have the pilot books etc. and have sailed for many years, but in the Med where the tide is non existent.
Thanks

Gem.
Sampled chicken liver parfait, mulled wine jelly, with red onion chutney.
The chef chowder chorizo, with harricot beans and coriander and ended
with apple tart with toffee ice cream.
A welcome addition to the island.
Food was delicious and prices were not as batty as we had always thought.
Happy days.
I think you will be able to find it, but don't blame me if you get lost.
Returning in future for sure.
Cheers

Terry, Janet, Zoe and Chez.
Fist time here , used your food guide quite a lot. Keep up the good work.
If not into walking rent electric bike from garage in harbour.
Great hotel - run by a Mother (Pauline) and daughter team (Tracey) who are very friendly and have been in the business for 39 years and know how to look after you !
Fabulous food with an ever changing specials menu. Seemed to be busy with locals - always a good sign.
We had the jacuzzi suite as it was our wedding anniversary. Lush room and great big enough for two jacuzzi.
Hubby loved the real ales on offer.
Would we stay again ??? Yes definately much nicer than The Braye Beach it had atmosphere !!
Thank you All. We absolutely loved it.
PS Alderney Accommodation have changed their address from the one that is advertised on your site.
Yum Yum!!!
Lovely island, nice people although the hills are a killer on bike - especially when sitting on a hard cockpit seat during the sail home.
I read on your website that you're going to update the Alderney PDF. We will be visiting next year, so would like to get the most recent info when available. Could you let me know when to check your website again for this?
Thanks

Thanks for letting us know about Europcar in Alderney. We will delete this service from our database. Alderney is due to be updated early next year, and as we have well over five thousand advertisers with us it’s difficult to find out when one is no longer in service if the company don’t contact us to let us know. The good news however is that we have so many visits to our site that someone like yourself usually informs us if a business or service is no longer available.
We will replace the vacant “Car Hire” service with an appropriate one once we have completed our update.
So thanks for informing us.
Regards

Your website (http://www.harbourguides.com/harbours.php/Alderney/shops-services) advertises Europcar but the number is unobtainable and upon further enquiries it appears that Europcar no longer operates in Alderney.
It might be an good idea to update your website.
