About this property

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.

We have enjoyed hosting both couples and families. We want you to feel completely at home, providing you with a fully-equipped kitchen with: ample cupboard space; a fridge and fridge freezer, a fan oven and a combi microwave/grill oven ; a ceramic hob and extractor fan; a further separate microwave; and a dish washer. Appliances include: kettle,toaster, coffee grinder, cafetiere, slow cooker and an inline water filter. All the glasses, cutlery , crockery and cooking utensils you would want are in the drawers and cupboards.

The sun pours into the living room from three sides. There is free high speed wifi internet available and a wifi range extender to reach all rooms, plus usb charging sockets in each bedroom and the living room, together with a television. We have a small selection of board games.

The main bedroom has a king size bed(150 cms wide) and the second bedroom a double bed( 135 cms wide). Each bed has one comfortable duvet and two pillows.These bedrooms are situated at opposite ends of the house for privacy, and each have an ensuite with toilet, hand basin and walk in power shower. There is generous wardrobe space in each. The third bed is a small sofa bed (112 cms wide) located in the living room, which is a private space once the door is closed. The sofa bed has its own duvet and two pillows.

There is a toilet and washbasin in the utility room, together with a washing machine, dryer & ceiling mounted drying rack. There is a further rotary drying rack set out in the garden. Pegs are provided.

The whole house and large secluded garden are available for your use during your stay, apart from one room and the garage/shed, which are private spaces, kept locked by us in our absence.

There is a comprehensive manual giving details of the appliances etc in the house, as well as some Guernsey visitor information. We would be contactable through the Vrbo app if necessary.

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!

Our House Rules are simple:

No smoking please
Not suitable for pets
No parties or events
Check in is anytime after 4 pm, departure by 10 am: please leave our house in the same condition as you find it.
.
Bed linen and towels are provided, but you will need to bring your own swimming/beach towels.

Please put out rubbish and recycling on the designated day as requested.

Further advice about the local attractions and information about the house can be found in folders we have left for you in the sitting room. Vrbo will also send you our welcome guide, which includes directions and access instructions, 3 days before your arrival.

We hope you will enjoy staying in our home as much as we love living here.

Beautiful bungalow in a lovely setting
We really enjoyed our stay at Morningstar, the bungalow had everything you could need and was in a lovely rural part of the island yet close enough to beaches and local amenities. We loved the gardens around Morningstar and had a lovely relaxing holiday.

Tranquil and relaxing
A beautiful spacious bungalow and attentive host, after a days exploring it was a treat to sit in the garden with the Robin. Our only disappointment was that we had no broadband connection, the owner left us a Sim to use but it was not the same as our phones kept losing the connection

Lovely Stay at Morningstar
Just home after a great week at Morningstar. Angie's house is very well equipped and nicely situated to get into St Peter Port or up to the coast. There are some great local walks up to Torteval church and beyond to Pleinmont. We had good weather, so the garden was ideal for meals and drinks. Angie and Richard were very helpful with queries and enabled us to have a lovely holiday.

Review of our holidays
We had a very pleasant time and a relaxing holiday. One thing we would sugget to improve: The double-bed was very narrow and only one duvet , as we are not used to this, we couldn´t sleep well. Maybe other guests might have the same problem.

Fabulous house and garden
We had a wonderful family get together and wedding in Guernsey, and Angie's house made it so relaxing. It was a home from home with everything you could possibly need (never been to a house with a kitchen that was so well equipped), and a wonderful location to get around the island. Also if you are a star gazer it is a 'dark sky' garden so take a telescope or good binoculars! Plenty of walks nearby and the best beaches on the island only 10 minutes away. If we visit the island again we would definitely book Morningstar, thank you again Angie for the use of your lovely house. Sue & Brian Smith

Great location - property needs a little TLC
Property is in a great location, near the airport and with access to the beautiful south west. The beds and bedding are in need of replacement soon. The quality is not up to standard for a beautiful property like this. The kitchen is well equipped, and the showers are excellent. There is parking for 2/3 cars but the entrance to the drive is difficult to spot and would benefit from the installation of a much more visible signage. Its also difficult to enter and leave from a busy coastal road.

Beautiful home on a beautiful island
Morningstar is beautiful bungalow , clean, comfortable and very well equipped .It certainly met our expectations. The area is extremely quiet and relaxing but it is an idea location for the West coast beaches (10 mins by car) and to explore the whole island. St Peter Port is 20 mins away .We were on holiday with our two Grandsons and they loved Morningstar and the Island. As the 10 year old said " I wish we could stay longer ,it has gone too quickly " Thank you.

optimales Ferienhaus für eine fünfköpfige Familie
Wir trafen das Ferienhaus in einem sehr guten Zustand und topsauber an. Es ist geräumig für 5 Personen und mit allem, was man braucht ausgestattet : komplette Küche mit allen elektrischen Geräten, Wohnzimmer mit TV und WLan Router, Garten mit Grill und Gartenmöbeln. Die Lage des Hauses ist einmal nahe der Busstation ( man kommt um die ganze Insel) und nahe dem Klippenpfad, der traumhaft ist. Orga war top. Jederzeit wieder.
