Perfect holiday in Guernsey
We all had the most wonderful holiday in Foxfire Cottage. The cottage is very comfortable and is in a great location with a beautiful sandy bay (perfect for a dip!) and lovely headland walks close by. Siriol was very communicative, helpful, warm and welcoming. Thank you, Siriol. We enjoyed our time in Guernsey very much and do hope to return.
