La Sablonnerie

Top choice in The Channel Islands


A recipient of the Condé Nast 'Small Hotel of the Year' award, this beautifully restored 400-year-old farmhouse sits amidst lush orchards and gardens on Little Sark and is the island's most atmospheric place to stay. Expect individually styled rooms, lounge with rough-hewn stone walls and heavy wooden beams, and excellent food. Gardens open for informal dining from Easter onwards.
