Sunny spacious bungalow & garden near cliff paths and beaches.

Morningstar is a spacious, well-appointed bungalow, with a lovely large private garden backing on to fields. The three patios provide sunny spots to relax, barbecue in and enjoy alfresco dining.

It takes only a few minutes to drive to the sandy beaches of Rocquaine and L’Eree, the cinema, or the nearest restaurant. The stunning south coast cliff path is approximately 200 metres away, while a well-stocked shop and Post Office are a pleasant stroll through quiet lanes.

Booking:
During July and August we usually only accept Saturday - Saturday bookings, but could consider arrival and departure days outside weekends for longer stays of 10 nights or more.

Morningstar is situated in the rural parish of Torteval, a peaceful haven away from the bustle of St Peter Port. It has easy access to: historic sites, from Tudor and Napoleonic castles to 2nd World War German fortifications, including the German Underground Hospital, the 22cm gun battery and Naval Observation post at Pleinmont, the Fairy Ring near the Tudor Fort Pecqueries; wide sandy beaches looking towards the Hanois lighthouse to the west; the pretty parish church and the unique St Peter's church, dating from the 14th century; and several cafes, pubs, restaurants and a fish and chip shop within a few minutes' drive, including the Imperial Hotel restaurant which has wonderful views over Rocquaine Bay and the Napoleonic era Fort Grey.

Although the drive has generous parking for cars, a bus stop is located a couple of minutes' walk from the house. For those who prefer cycling or walking, the speed limit is 35 mph and the lanes behind the house rarely have traffic. Nowhere is very far on Guernsey!
