Superior Garden Cottage with Private Outdoor Courtyard

The Ellingham Cottages is nestled within the beautiful parish of St Martins in the south-east of the island. Whilst only 1.5 miles from the picturesque harbour town of St Peter Port, it is also perfectly located for scenic hikes along the stunning south-coast cliffs; leisurely walks and bike rides along tranquil green lanes; and sunbathing at the nearby quiet sandy bays.

The Ellingham Cottages has 12 two and three-bedroom cottages. Three of the cottages are rated as 'superior' cottages as they offer that little bit more than the (still very lovely) 'classic' cottages. Guests can enjoy enhanced amenities such as wall-mounted televisions in one of the bedrooms, a private Netflix account, DAB radios and luxury toiletries. Whilst the classic cottages enjoy a shared terrace, these superior cottages each have a private terrace or courtyard with built-in BBQ.

Both superior cottages are on two-levels and sleep 4 people, with a king-bed in the master bedroom and two single beds in the second bedroom. The bathrooms have a bath with an overhead shower. On opening the patio doors of the Garden Terrace Cottage, there is a private walled terrace with a built-in BBQ and table and chairs. It has direct access to the large shared garden and gets the sun all afternoon and evening. The Courtyard Cottage has a private paved courtyard garden accessed from the bright and spacious living room. There is a built-in BBQ with a dining table and chairs, plus an outdoor sofa to lounge on. The third superior cottage is a ground-floor cottage and is listed separately.

The cottages are available for weekly bookings with a Saturday changeover.

Within just a few minutes walk is the parish 'high street', with some shops, a bakery, Co-Op, M&S Food Hall, garages, a pub, cashpoint and pharmacy. There is a regular bus service that runs past the cottage. The bus service is excellent - cheap, reliable and friendly drivers! This service travels to several places, including the main town of St Peter Port. There is also a circular bus route which you can pick up from The Ellingham which takes you all around the island.

Guernsey is a small island and thus relatively easy to get around. Whether you are wanting to lie back and relax on stretching sandy beaches, watch the bustle of the marina, experience culinary delights, or more active experiences, such as surfing, coasteering, wind-surfing, cycling, hiking, swimming or boogie-boarding - Guernsey offers something for everyone to enjoy. We would be happy to make recommendations.

St Peter Port is exceptionally charming, set along the sea-front and with a cobbled high street and VAT-free shopping. A wonderful day can be spent browsing the fashion, beauty and jewellery boutiques before stopping for lunch at a harbour-side restaurant, before maybe visiting the house that Victor Hugo lived in when in exile from France. It is lovely to have a simple sandwich lunch sitting on one of the many benches overlooking the harbour filled with yachts. From St Peter Port, visitors can take the short boat trip to the beautiful neighbouring islands of Herm and Sark.
Make yourself comfortable in your cottage, featuring a refrigerator and a microwave. There's a private patio. The bathroom has a shower/tub combination and a hair dryer. Conveniences include a washing machine and an iron/ironing board, and housekeeping is provided on request.
Take in the views from a garden.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Guernsey Hideaway
The superior cottage was immaculately clean and very well equipped. Location is a little way away from St Martin but close enough to the local, food serving pub and bus services to all parts of the island. Supermarkets close by for those who wish to cater for themselves. The only inconvenience for us was the bathroom being downstairs but it was no more than this. The week we stayed was extremely quiet leading to excellent sleep on a first class bed. All in all would recommend for two adult and two kids, four adults would be a bit tight unless very good friends!

Comfortable home from home
We stayed in one of the superior cottages for a week in August 2019. It was comfortable and had everything we needed for our holiday. Our cottage had patio doors from the lounge which opened on to a private sitting area with a barbecue and then the main garden (I think this is the difference between the standard and superior cottages as most of them had a sitting area which was accessed through the entrance door.) Looking over the main garden was pleasant and would be a bonus for families with younger children as they could watch them play There is a football post, a toddler slide, a rabbit hutch and barbecues in the garden which is completely flat so great for running around in. I would recommend the cottages as a quiet home from home, with local shops in easy walking distance and bus stops in easy reach. If you are taking a ferry to one of the other islands it is a good idea to take the bus as long stay parking is difficult in St Peter Port.

A lovely week in Guernsey
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Ellingham cottages. The cottage was very clean and well equipped. Well situated as St Martin makes a great base from which to explore the island especially the rocky cliff top south coast. The cottages proximity to the airport and ferry terminal is a bonus too. The bathroom being downstairs in our cottage could be a slight drawback to the elderly or young families and we didn't get the midweek cottage spruce up as advertised but these would be my only negative comments. Guernsey has beautiful beaches and a very varied coastline so if you enjoy walking it makes a perfect break. We'll definitely be back.

Tolle Ferienwohnung für Familien in Guernsey!
Die Ferienwohnung ist groß, sehr sauber und sehr gut ausgestattet. Das Personal und die Eigentümer sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, wir haben uns in den 14 Tagen sehr sehr wohl gefühlt. Ich empfehle bei der Buchung nach Ferienwohnung 10, 11 oder 12 zu fragen, da diese zum großen rückwärtigen Garten rausgehen und damit abends Sonne haben. Die Lage ist für Selbstversorgung hervorragend, zwei sehr große Supermärkte sowie ein Drogeriemarkt befinden sich fußläufig in 5 Minuten Entfernung. Auch die nächste Bushaltestelle zu Fahrten nach St. Peter Port oder in den Westen der Insel ist buchstäblich vor der Haustür (100 m). Einziges Manko bei der Lage: Ellingham Cottage befindet sich genau unter der Einflugschneise des kleinen lokalen Flughafens. Nachts ist Flugverbot, der erste Flieger kommt morgens um 7 Uhr, für uns einzig störend war der Betrieb abends bis 20 Uhr (ca. alle 30 Minuten ein Flieger), wenn wir beim Abendessen auf der Terasse saßen. Die nächste Bademöglichkeit ist Fermain Bay. Am besten mit dem Fahrrad zu erreichen, aber Achtung: Es geht steil bergab zum Kiesstrand! Ansonsten empfehlen wir eher die Buchten an der Westküste, die sehr schön sandig und flach abfallend sind (Fahrzeit mit Fahrrad ca. 40 Minuten auf ruhigen Nebenstraßen). Bei der Selbstverpflegung empfehle ich in Bezug auf Gemüse auf die Privatangebote zu achten, die vor vielen Häusern in großen Holzkästen angeboten werden. Diese sind qualitativ sehr gut und häufig preisgünstiger als im Supermarkt! Auch beim Ellingham Cottage wird Gemüse angeboten, wir haben dies häufig genutzt und waren sehr zufrieden. Weiterhin empfehle ich die Anmietung von Fahrrädern bei GoGuernsey. Wir hatten die Fahrräder für zwei Wochen und haben diese intensiv genutzt. Abseits der Hauptstraßen kann man wunderschön Fahrrad fahren, alle Nebenstraßen sind asphaltiert. Einen Helm bekommt man vom Fahrradverleih, die auch im Falle einer Panne so schnell wie möglich Ersatzräder stellen. Weiterhin biete GoGuernsey Kajak fahren und Coastering an, wir haben beides gemacht und insbesondere Coastering hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Also, viel Spaß auf Guernsey! Ach ja, letzter Tip: An einem schönen Sonnentag unbedingt mit der Familie zum Baden auf die kleine vorgelagerte Insel Herm mit dem Schiff fahren (Herm Trident, für vierköpfige Familie ca. 50 GBP), Badesachen und Selbstverpflegung einpacken und an der Shell Beach einen wunderschönen Strand genießen!
