Eat & Drink
Dining in
The old 16th century farmhouse setting is charm itself – candlelit, oak-beamed and low ceilinged. The cooking is modern international with French overtones – and it's excellent. Seafood is the big feature, so try roasted sea scallops oozing garlic butter, or lobster in a lime butter sauce. Warm chocolate tart with vanilla and dark rum sauce should polish it off nicely. Dining is alfresco in the gorgeous gardens on summer days. La Sablonnerie also has a tea garden for lighter fare.
Breakfast
Breakfast is served until 9.30am. There’s champagne and smoked salmon if you want to start the day in style.
Room service
Available morning and evening.
See & Do
See & Do
Just three miles from tip to tip, Sark begs exploration on foot. The island's natural seawater pools of Venus and Adonis – filled with water for around two hours at low tide – provide safe (if at times chilly!) bathing, while beauty spots such as Grande Grève, with its sandy beach, are a must. Pick up a bike and cycle into the village (as the locals do) or explore cliffs and coves on foot. You'll want to take a day trip to neighbouring Guernsey, with its tax-free shops and cosmopolitan cafes.
Spa
Forget conventional treatments – go for a refreshing dip in those natural beach pools.
Diary Dates
April-May
Sark stages a Wild Flower fortnight to celebrate the profusion of spring flowers covering coastal paths and headlands.
June
Pig out on a platter of fruits de mer, local king prawns and lobster ravioli in Sark’s big Seafood Festival.
