Getting around

There is plenty of parking on site for guests who are bringing their car and it is nice to have the freedom that having a car offers. However, Guernsey has an excellent bus service and so a car isn't essential. The bus routes near The Ellingham travel to many places including the main town of St Peter Port. There is also a circular bus route which travels around the perimeter of the island and is perfect for exploring Guernsey’s wonderful beaches and coastline. We can also recommend a bicycle hire company who have both standard and electric bikes, plus tag-alongs etc. They will deliver the bikes to The Ellingham and collect on the last day - so exploring by bike couldn't be easier!

Interaction with guest

When you arrive at The Ellingham Cottages, there will usually be someone to welcome you and to show you your cottage and other facilities. We operate a key box system for those times when we are not able to be present. There is someone on-site every day and we are more than happy to chat and provide guidance and recommendations on what to do to make the most of your holiday in Guernsey. Guests are provided with a code for the key box before arrival. The owners are on-site periodically and can be reached via phone or email at any time. A mid-week spruce-up and change of towels is also provided.
