Hello everyone and a very Happy New Year to all our customers past and present from Nigel and Gill at Les Pourciaux Cottage Alderney.
Summer 2022 was a fantastic summer and it was great to be able to welcome back our UK guests, many of whom had not been able to visit for two years due to isolation requirements, along with our new found ‘Bailiwick Bubble’ friends! 2022 was preceded by our busiest ever year in 2021, thanks to the ‘Bailiwick bubble’, and now summer 2023, hopefully with no travel restrictions, will be upon us before we know it!
We’ve not posted for a while but it’s now time to concentrate on the coming year. We are already pretty booked up for the peak period, but currently have space prior to 1 April and after 9 September. And if any of you fancy an early or late break away there’s a lovely wood-burning stove to keep you cosy in the cottage.
During the high summer season we still have the following one week slots available:-
Sat 8-Sat 15 April
Sat 15-Sat 22 April
Sat 27 May-Sat 3 June
Sat 1-Sat 8 July
Also due to a cancellation we have the two week slot available from Sat 15 to Sat 29 July - this is a very popular time and will only be sold as a two week booking.
During the summer season we only take week long bookings (Saturday to Saturday) and at other times we limit stays to a minimum of 4 nights.
Anyone interested will find lots more information and photographs on our website Lespourciauxalderney.co.uk or message us direct on FB or WhatsApp. We are very happy to answer any questions about the cottage or the island and to give advice if required regarding getting to us.
As many of you will know already, the Dornier planes do get very booked up in advance for the summer period so do be sure to plan your travel as early as possible.
Many of you will have heard the very exciting news from just before Christmas that our runway and airport is to get a (long overdue) major overhaul. Unfortunately it is not due to be completed until quarter 2 of 2025 so we are keeping everything crossed that things go to plan!
Book your flights with Aurigny from several airports in the UK or from Guernsey.
Aurigny.com. Alternatively, if you wish to travel to Alderney by boat from Guernsey, Alderney Ferry Services operate “Causeway Explorer” a 12 seater boat, between Guernsey and Alderney, and are now taking bookings for March to October 2023
