The Farmhouse Hotel

Route des Bas Courtils, St Saviours, Guernsey

A short stroll from the island’s famous Little Chapel and a mere stone’s throw from fields of lowing Guernsey cattle, The Farmhouse is a Channel Islands gem. Each of its 14 renovated rooms boasts quirky, homely-luxe decor caught somewhere between bohemian and modern; plaids jar with stripes, floral curtains clash with print carpets – but it all seems to work. The real charm comes from the little things, such as exceptionally helpful staff and frequently replenished stocks of home-made shortbread cookies in your room. The restaurant serves simple, well-cooked cuisine (it does a good steak) and the wine list is among the best on the island. Spend long summer evenings sipping drinks by the pool or on the suite’s private balcony. Doubles from £99.
