The Georgian House

This historic Georgian townhouse in the heart of Alderney's St Anne is full of charm, with plenty of character throughout. The family business comprises a traditional pub, contemporary restaurant and four guest rooms on the third floor. The ethos is simple: delicious food, attentive service and a comfortable place to lay your head for the night.

The en-suite rooms are named after rocks around the island – Coque Lihou, La Ronde, Ortac and Verte Tete – and you can choose from a small double, super king or twin. Whichever you opt for, there's a boutique vibe, with luxe bedding, tea and coffee facilities and fluffy bathrobes. Breakfast is served in the Walpole Room and is sure to set you up for the day, featuring a 'Full Alderney' with bacon and sausages from nearby Kiln Farm and local kippers.

For lunch and dinner, the short and seasonal menus are a mix of pub and European, with a strong seafood influence. There's also a lovely suntrap garden for outside dining or relaxing with a drink. In terms of location, The Georgian House is ideally situated for exploring – within walking distance of Platte Saline Beach and just a short walk from the ferry, where you can catch a boat to go puffin spotting or visit nearby islands.
