Situated around 80miles off the English coast, Sark may be the smallest of the four main Channel Islands, but is also the most enchanting. With 40 miles of arguably the most beautiful coastline in the British Isles it is the ideal destination to explore by foot or bicycle. The stunning rural interior of the island is equally charming and with no cars on the island a visit feels like a jump back in time to traffic free, carefree days.
Sark may only be three miles long and one and a half miles wide but for those who enjoy the out doors it is an ideal place to spend more than just a few days. There is a wide range of accommodation available from award winning hotels to self-catering as well as excellent restaurants and pubs. This magical island temps visitors back year after year and who could blame them? Sark is genuinely captivating; a place to unwind and savour time and time again.
You can withdraw cash inside the HSBC bank and the Post Office but it is good to have cash at hand after these places are closed. Most restaurants and bars now have cash machines though.
Alcohol is now served on a Sunday regardless as to whether or not you purchase it with a meal

Visiting Sark and Guernsey
Hi we are planning holidaying in Guernsey this year. We have never visited before but we are looking for an island thats part of the uk and a little closer to the sun. Having looked through the different Channel Islands we have decided on Guernsey and maybe an overnight stay on Sark. We are a family of 4 two children aged 9 and 12. What is the best family hotel on the islands? (Guernsey and Sark)

Well we are back home now from our three months cruising holiday on our yacht Almida.
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.

We recently returned from our trip to Sark. We found this guides extremely useful on our visit. As seems now the norm, we have left our reviews on the businesses. We have left them as honestly as we can be and our comments are not biased in any way. We have simply left them to help others enjoy this captivating island. We have had probably the best holiday of our lives here and enjoyed every minute of it and we have travelled far and wide. If you are reading this and have never been to Sark, please go. Its an unbelievable experience with fantastic characters. See you again very soon Sark.

We are now updating our Sark Harbour Guide. There were issues before that were out og our hands. This now has been resolved. We thank all the hundreds of people that have emailed us requesting we update the guide.

Seems a while since you have updated Sark. Any reason for this?

I see you are updating your Channel Islands Harbour Guides. I have friends from Northern France who are sailing to Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney, Sark etc. this Summer. We are going to visit them and help out crewing etc. but dont want to stay on the boat full time and are looking for accommodation. I see you have an accommodation feature on Harbourguides, is this for holiday makers or for crew members? We are on a tight budget and I think a feature on budget price hotels on your guides would be a goods idea.

A to B is where we got our bikes last week on a day visit from Guernsey the other day and were glad that we did otherwise would not of had enough time to see anything.
So remember as soon as you land head to A to B Cycles so you can take a lot in at a reasonable price( for the bikes )

If you want to see this beautiful island in all its splendour, hire a bike as we did. Its perfectly safe,there are no motor vehicles on the roads, so you dont have the fear of other traffic. I wouldnt dream of taking my family on a bike ride where we live in England, as i would be too worried, but here its an absolute pleasure, and we came back feeling and looking a lot fitter than when we went.
We used A to B bike hire and found them to offer a great service
Thanks

Loved our time on Sark. Great healthy family holiday. We hired a bike from A to B cycles, and pretty much covered the whole island. We found your guide extremely helpful. It was a different holiday than we are used to going on, but we have all agreed its THE best family holiday we have had.
See you soon.

We have just returned from Sark and wish we could go back already.
Upon arriving we decided to walk to Little Sark to La Sablonerie and were just in time for lunch, took us about an hour but one of the best walks I have ever undertaken, even John who hates walking was not complaining.
To anyone reading this who has never been to Sark words cannot describe it but go and see for yourself, if only the rest of the world was so serene and simple.

What a coincidence! We have just watched an Island Parish too, and decided to have a look on the pc to see what there is to do. We searched "Eating and Drinking Sark" and came across your site. This is the first time I have added a comment to a website, but I would just like to say that although we are new to using our computer and the internet, we have now found your website extremely useful and easy to use. We will now be visiting Sark, as well as the other islands here, and look forward to using your guides to help with our trip.
Thanks

Is the "La sablonnerie" still owned by the lovely Elizabeth ? we had such a lovely time there many years ago and are thinking of revisiting soon.
Buddy's Sark
Fabulous new addition to the Sark scene. The Island is really coming alive again with new businesses and restaurants. This being one of them
Harry & Lynn
As anyone will tell you, the only way to get around Sark is on foot or by bicycle.(Unless you happen to have a tractor) But Bikes really are the best way and as there are no cars on Sark, its a really safe way of getting around. Dont let the fact that you may not of been on a bike for many years put you off hiring one. Its so easy to ride them out here and it takes you back to fond memories many years ago..Well it did us.
18/05/2019 @ 2:02 pmSteve Mally
Without doubt the best way to travel around Sark is by bicycle and the best place to get one is from A to B Cycles. Jenni, who owns and runs the business is very helpful and she has a bike to suit everyone, from young and old, energetic or leisurely, she will find the ideal bike for you. The only problem is having to give it her back at the end of your stay, you will enjoy it that much.
Nova's Bistro Sark
The tastiest and freshest lobster I have had. Run by very cheerful staff that make you feel very welcome. Lovely garden area at the back.
A to B Cycles
Excellent service with helpful advice about the island. I normally hire a car when on holiday, but as there are no cars on Sark, a bicycle was the only option. Well all I can say is I wish there were more places where the best mode of transport is by bike. I had the best time peddling around and felt that I had actually got in some good exercise, something I hadn't done for some time. A very enjoyable experience and one I hope to repeat this year.
Nova's Bistro Sark
Our first time on Sark, and only came for the day. We had lunch at Nova's Bistro and ate in the garden dining area. It was a fabulous experience. The food was delicious and the waitresses very friendly. It did help that it was a beautiful sunny day. We have promised to return to the Channel Islands and we will be staying more than a day on Sark.
A to B Cycles
Las t minute call in and was sorted out with a bike straight away with no fuss. I went for the e-bike and it was a great decision, it was effortless getting around and I got to see a lot more than I would have on pedal power alone. Great service and very friendly.
Nova's Bistro Sark
Took the ferry to Sark for the day and saw the good reviews about Nova's Bistro and decided to give it a go. It was a god choice and the food is all home made and delicious. We sat in the beautiful garden area as I had took my dog over and a member of staff brought him out some treats! Really nice gesture. Its a 10 out of 10 from us.
A to B Cycles
Called in straight off the ferry from Guernsey (We saw it on this site) we hadn't called up or booked and there was quite a lot of people there, however the lady had no problem getting us a bike each and was very helpful. It was a fantastic way to discover the island, although we would have liked to spend more time here, but we had to get the ferry back to Guernsey.
We have already booked a holiday to Guernsey again this year and we are planning one or two nights on Sark to try and get to know this beautiful island a little better. This time we are considering electric bikes. We cant wait to return!!
Nova's Bistro Sark
What a lovely restaurant or cafe Nova's Bistro is. Run by a wonderful character called "Mad" I think? All the staff are cheerful and very friendly, and the food is so obviously home made. The garden area is big enough and an ideal place to sit back relax and enjoy the delicious food served up. 10 out of 10 from us.
A to B Cycles
We are both pretty fit and decided to hire a couple of bikes to explore the island. It was definitely a good decision and we got to see a lot of this beautiful island. Although we were only on Sark for two days, we both agreed that it was one of our most enjoyable trips and one we will be repeating.
Nova's Bistro Sark
Lovely quaint cafe restaurant with lovely outside garden seating and eating area. The food and cakes are obviously home made and are so tasty. Its a bit like going back in time, as is a lot of things on this beautiful little island. It was our first time on Sark and we only spent a couple of days here, but next time we will come for a week.
A to B Cycles
We went back a few kilos lighter betwean us after hiring bikes to get around this beautiful island. We certainly came back a lot fitter and healthier.
Nova's Bistro Sark
Delightful cafe/ restaurant/ bar, ideally situated on the Avenue (The main street) in Sark. Lovely outside garden terrace area with sufficient seating. Very friendly staff.
A to B Cycles
Hi Kerry & Chez, We have just had a look at the A to B Cycles website and yes they do have electric bikes. Hope you enjoy your visit to this beautiful little island.
Caragh Chocolates Sark
Hoping to visit Guernsey with friends in July (Hoping with fingers crossed as well) and we plan to visit Sark for a few days. We were looking at La Sablonerrie on Little Sark, but noticed that you have self catering accommodation as well as Caragh Chocolates. Is there a price list you can send me?
Thanks

Reading the reviews makes Nicoles sound like a curry house! but its so much more than that. The owner does cook a mean curry, but the menu serves all kinds of different foods to suit all tastes. The fish dishes are superb asarethe pasta dishes. Just wanted to point out that this restaurant isnt just about curries, although theyare very good.
Yes Yes yes!! If curries is your bag then yes again. But if not dont worry, theres lots of choices on the menu here. Although the Curry is great, this is not an Indian resyaurant!! The chef and owner couldnt be more English, but he cooks great food.
We loved this restaurant and the bar.
Probablement el nostre lloc favorit a l’illa.
xocolata increïble elaborat mentre vigileu. No és el lloc per visitar si està en dieta. no podràs resistir. no podíem
Em va encantar molt aquesta botiga. Hem comprat regals per al vaixell. És possible fer els vostres propis regals aquí. La senyora us pot ensenyar a fer ceràmica.
és molt bonic.
Restaurant fantàstic. Sembla una casa des de fora, però és un restaurant i un bar per dins.
El menjar al curry semblava popular entre els anglesos, per la qual cosa era un bon menjar.
Nous avons adoré ce magasin .. mais c'est plus qu'un magasin. vous pouvez apprendre à faire des pots ici. ça a l'air vraiment intéressant, mais nous n'avons pas eu assez de temps cette année pour prendre les leçons. nous reviendrons à Sark l’année prochaine et nous avons promis de prendre les leçons et de faire nos propres dons pour les récupérer
endroit vraiment amusant pour manger. nourriture différente de notre habitude, mais tout aussi bonne. Curry est un favori ici et nous l'avons essayé et apprécié tout. nous avons pris de la nourriture à notre bateau et l'avons mangé le lendemain..il était toujours très bon. plus de Currie est pour nous dans le futur.
Se déplacer à Sark doit être avec un vélo. Il n'y a pas de voiture sur l'île et nous nous sommes sentis très en sécurité. mes enfants sont jeunes et nous nous sommes sentis très à l'aise. Il y a des tracteurs sur l'île mais ils ne vont que lentement. J'ai aussi perdu 1/2 kilo pendant les vacances..si tout va bien .. jusqu'à la prochaine fois Sark
You must come and visit this pottery when you come to Sark. Again this was another of the businesses that adds to the charm of this stunning island. Its all well and good being on this beautiful island with great views and restaurants etc. But its important to have things to do. So here you can come and buy some lovely gifts or why not make your own, Lorraine also teaches pottery lessons here, so you can make that gift or keepsake that bit more special by making it yourself. This is the perfect shop for having a different day. We loved it.
As anyone will tell you, the only way to get around Sark is on foot or by bicycle.(Unless you happen to have a tractor) But Bikes really are the best way and as there are no cars on Sark, its a really safe way of getting around.

We Called in here on our cycle ride to Little Sark to rest our legs(We hadnt ridden a bike for some years) Well this is just another business that sets this island apart. We really have fallen in love with Sark in a big way,We cant really put it down to one thing, ie the stunning views, the lovely restaurants, the islanders etc. One thing we were sure of is the Caragh Chocolates certainly adds to the ingredients in making Sark so special. Pleeeeez dont change Sark We love you as you are

We nipped in here a few times on the bikes. Well stocked and it was like going back many years. We love this island so much and little shops like this are part and parcel od what makes Sark so unique.
Good old English style well run pub. Lets be honest theres not a lot of choices when it comes to pubs on Sark. But having said that, its not that type of island. However every island needs a good pub and the Bel Air Inn serves this island very well.
Harry had a lovely curry cooked by Mark. Hr really knows his food, especially curries. I went for a fish dish and this was equally as good. Really friendly couple and its such a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere.
This brings back very many very memories of a previous navigation to Sark. We are navigation another sail here in July, and its so good to see Caragh Chocolates is still doing their great thing. We will be taking back plenty of their wares on our return.
Without doubt the best way to travel around Sark is by bicycle and the best place to get one is from A to B Cycles. Jenni, who owns and runs the business is very helpful and she has a bike to suit everyone, from young and old, energetic or leisurely, she will find the ideal bike for you. The only problem is having to give it her back at the end of your stay, you will enjoy it that much.
Well worth the short trip from the village to visit this quaint chocolate factory. Caragh owns and runs the business. You can watch as the small team make and prepare all the beautiful chocolates, or have a bite to eat in the lovely cafe. If you have come to Sark, please don't leave without visiting this gem.
Fancy something different to do? Then you could do a lot worse than to visit Lorraine's Pottery & Silverware. You can buy beautiful gifts ready to go, or for the more adventurous, why not take some lessons from Elaine and create your own pottery and gifts? Lorraine's an excellent teacher with plenty of patience. Your visit here will be fun,educational and you will end up with a unique keepsake or gift. .

It was great to meet Jo and Mark at Nicoles Restaurant. A lovely couple and they serve fantastic. Mark is pretty famous on the island for his variety of curry dishes. If curries are to your taste, then you have found your ideal restaurant. If curries don't float your boat, then no worries the menu is varied and caters for all tastes. Please check this restaurant out when on Sark. You could even just pop in for a drink if you fancy.
I had the pleasure of taking the photos of these beautiful spacious luxury self catering homes. every one has a different character, location, size, etc. The one thing they all have in common is the wow factor. Its probably impossible to recreate the standard of accommodation on a series of photos. These really are "Luxury". Extremely well run by Jess and his partner Sheryl. If you are looking for large luxury self catering accommodation on Sark, then look no further.
Lovely to see the Stocks on here. Cant seem to get in touch with a lot of the other bars and restaurants in Sark. Visiting again this summer, hope it is as we left it.xx
Having a bike here is a big YES, the island is lovely, but to explore all of it depending on length of your visit I would definately get one from here.
Tried the other place last time, but we like this one better.
A big thank you for making our trip to Sark a great one. We have returned home lighter and healthier than when we arrived (A first for us after a holiday) Look forward to seeing you again soon.

Great quality food lies at the heart of our hospitality philosophy. We pride ourselves on producing good food using the freshest local ingredients wherever possible. We have a long-standing relationship with a team of local fishermen, farmers and other suppliers. For over 42 years our menus have featured great quality Sark Fresh produce sourced from local suppliers. We call them our Sark food heroes. They grow or harvest only small quantities of fresh produce on a non-intensive and sustainable basis. We are grateful for their dedication, commitment and passion, and for providing us with an excellent variety of Sark Fresh quality produce depending upon the season.
We source fresh local produce before we import anything. We define ‘Sark local’ as being sourced from within a 5-mile radius of the hotel. This incorporates the exclusive 3 mile territorial waters around Sark.
We are proud to have established Sark’s first ever organic market garden at Stocks based on the principles of Permaculture. Helen Magell, the owner has created an oasis of superbly fresh, organic, local garden produce, only 250 metres from the back door of the kitchen.

Visitor Moorings
These are available in Havre Gosselin on the west coast and Greve de la Ville on the east coast and are marked with YELLOW buoys. The moorings are substantial and are checked annually but you use them at your own risk. They are available for £20 per 24 hours or part thereof, payable by card or cash at the Visitor Centre.
At Havre Gosselin there is a small jetty with a ladder for low water access where dinghies can be left. The path to the top of the island begins at this point. At Greve de la Ville dinghies can be left on the steps at the beginning of the path up to the top of the island.
If you choose to anchor in either of these locations please keep well away from the moorings. Anchorages
There is no charge for anchoring off Sark.
Dixcart Bay: A large flat bay with a stony incline from about half way up. Good holding on sand at the seaward end of the bay. An easy path to the top of the island. A very popular anchorage.
Derrible Bay: A large flat bay with excellent holding on sand. A long path to the top of the island. Care should be taken to leave dinghies near the steps as the top of this bay is cut off from steps near high water. Grande Greve: Good holding sand at the seaward end of the bay. Please note that the path up to the top of the island from this bay is steep, built by volunteers and not maintained by the Island Authorities..
Stocks has 23 superior bedrooms and suites individually designed to the highest specifications.
We offer a choice of superior bedrooms, family combinations and luxury suites located in, or above, the three original buildings.

THE CREAM OF THE CHANNEL ISLANDS
We’re a bit of an enigma here on the island of Sark.
Cars aren’t allowed, so we travel around by bicycle or indeed a horse and carriage. If this sounds a bit old fashioned, it is. And we like it that way. Our cows only breathe clean air, and munch on grass that’s rich and lush. They produce milk so full of flavour and goodness, it’s our star ingredient: it becomes wholesome cream that’s almost too thick to pour. We then marry it with carefully selected couverture chocolate, creating a taste as pure and gorgeous as Sark itself.
You'll find us nestled between Guernsey and Jersey. We make all our chocolates by hand, in our kitchen surrounded by breathtaking vistas, coastal paths and secret bays. When are you coming?

There is no marina on Sark but they do have good visitor moorings and anchorage. Please read the information below. Visitor Moorings
These are available in Havre Gosselin on the west coast and Greve de la Ville on the east coast and are marked with YELLOW buoys. The moorings are substantial and are checked annually but you use them at your own risk. They are available for £20 per 24 hours or part thereof, payable by card or cash at the Visitor Centre.
At Havre Gosselin there is a small jetty with a ladder for low water access where dinghies can be left. The path to the top of the island begins at this point. At Greve de la Ville dinghies can be left on the steps at the beginning of the path up to the top of the island.
If you choose to anchor in either of these locations please keep well away from the moorings. Anchorages
There is no charge for anchoring off Sark.
Dixcart Bay: A large flat bay with a stony incline from about half way up. Good holding on sand at the seaward end of the bay. An easy path to the top of the island. A very popular anchorage.
Derrible Bay: A large flat bay with excellent holding on sand. A long path to the top of the island. Care should be taken to leave dinghies near the steps as the top of this bay is cut off from steps near high water. Grande Greve: Good holding sand at the seaward end of the bay. Please note that the path up to the top of the island from this bay is steep, built by volunteers and not maintained by the Island Authorities..

Just completed our first triathlon and what a beautiful island to do it in. Loved every minute of it. Also found this guide very helpful for restaurants.
The HG Crew visited Sark in June and we are now in the process of updating the guide.
Hi Vivian. We have a specific "Accommodation" page on the guides for Guernsey and Sark https://www.harbourguides.com/harbours/Guernsey/accommodation
https://www.harbourguides.com/harbours/Sark/accommodation
Guernsey and Sark both have some wonderful hotels and you will find them on the links above.
Enjoy your visit to these beautiful islands. The Harbourguides Crew love visiting the Channel Islands and we are sure you and your family will too
Hi we are planning holidaying in Guernsey this year. We have never visited before but we are looking for an island thats part of the uk and a little closer to the sun. Having looked through the different Channel Islands we have decided on Guernsey and maybe an overnight stay on Sark. We are a family of 4 two children aged 9 and 12. What is the best family hotel on the islands? (Guernsey and Sark)
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 remember as soon as you land head to A to B Cycles so you can take a lot in at a reasonable price( for the bikes )
We used A to B bike hire and found them to offer a great service
Thanks
See you soon.
Upon arriving we decided to walk to Little Sark to La Sablonerie and were just in time for lunch, took us about an hour but one of the best walks I have ever undertaken, even John who hates walking was not complaining.
To anyone reading this who has never been to Sark words cannot describe it but go and see for yourself, if only the rest of the world was so serene and simple.
Thanks
John and Moyra Coburn
Will let you know how it all pans out.
Val
One of the most enjoyable stays i have had in a long time.
We usually go to the Isles of Scilly and love it there, but are considering making this our regular bolt hole.
This year we tried A to B cycles who have recently been taken over.
Lovely helpful young girl in charge and will say 10 out of 10.
