Reader offer! Perfect island escapes

BRITAIN reader offer! Discover a new pace of life and unrivalled luxury on the beautiful islands of Guernsey and Alderney, then read on for an exclusive BRITAIN magazine reader offer

Take the short flight or ferry journey from the mainland and you will find yourself in two of the UK’s finest holiday destinations – the beautiful islands of Guernsey and Alderney. Both offer wonderfully indulgent experiences and superb accommodation and restaurants, like Fermain Valley Hotel (www.fermainvalley.com) on Guernsey and Braye Beach Hotel (www.brayebeach.com) on Alderney. These two magnificent, four-star hotels pride themselves on their level of luxury and personal approach to service. You’ll feel the stresses and strains of everyday living melting away from the moment you are welcomed through their doors. The Fermain Valley Hotel is perched atop one of Guernsey’s prettiest valleys with views over the tranquil green canopy down to the sea. Set in several acres of landscaped gardens, its facilities include two excellent restaurants, an indoor pool and sauna, private 3D cinema, an elegant lounge with open fire and intimate library – perfect for tucking yourself away and enjoying some quiet time with a good book. The hotel’s restaurant holds two AA Rosettes for its food. Outside, there are several tiers of wooden decking where you can relax with a refreshing drink, dine al fresco, or just take in the impressive views. The bedrooms at Fermain Valley are also stunning. They’re beautifully decorated and many have views down the valley and out to sea. Special attention has been paid to comfort, with wonderfully comfortable beds and luxurious bed linen to assure a great night’s sleep.

Very few hotels in the UK have a view to surpass Fermain Valley’s sister hotel, the Braye Beach Hotel in Alderney. It is literally on the beach! It is a true get-away-from-it-all destination. From the moment you arrive, you sink into Alderney time. The coastal path is fantastic, and if you are a bird watcher, golfer, cyclist, runner, walker, water sports enthusiast, fisherman, surfer, history buff or wildlife enthusiast you can be sure your interest will be well served. The exterior decked areas of the hotel provide a comfortable haven from where you can sit back, relax and enjoy the breathtaking view; ideal for those days when you are feeling less energetic.

The hotel has an AA Rosette restaurant and the food is excellent, with much focus on locally caught seafood and fresh island produce. The bedrooms at Braye Beach are beautifully appointed with many offering sea views. All are equipped to the same standard as those at its sister hotel, Fermain Valley in Guernsey, with the added bonus of being able to fall asleep to the lull of the waves breaking rhythmically on the beach. Braye Beach has a private cinema and a huge library of DVDs for guests to enjoy, two comfortable lounges and a private dining room.

The welcome at Braye is a truly hospitable one and from the moment you arrive, nothing will be too much trouble for the attentive, helpful staff who will ensure that by the end of your stay, you will already be looking forward to a return visit.
