Rocquaine Apartment - This apartment is named after Rocquaine Bay. It is about a four minute drive from us and is a long bay with a mix of sand, rocks and pebbles. There are many slipways and steps to this bay and it also has a causeway to Fort Grey maritime museum.
Many fishing and pleasure boats are moored in this bay. At high tide you will often see people fishing from the road over the sea wall. Free parking is available along the coast road.
Rocquaine Apartment is one of four apartments within an old Guernsey barn conversion. When we viewed La Pointe Farm in 1996, with a view to buying, the part of the barn where Rocquaine Apartment now is, was being used to house cattle, but do not worry they are now long gone!
By 1999, the barn was completely transformed into what it is now four modern apartments that have been given the grade of four and five star. In fact, all that is left of the original building are the outer walls.
Rocquaine Apartment is accessed at ground floor level from the granite courtyard. There is one step down into the apartment and once inside, all is on one level. Once inside the apartment the bathroom is the first door on the left. There is then a hallway leading to the twin bedroom it has an extra roll out single bed although when rolled out it severely limits the floor space, with a window overlooking the courtyard; the double bedroom with a window overlooking the patio and front garden has a King size bed that can be split into a twin if required; and the lounge/living/kitchen area where you will find everything you are likely to need for your general day-to-day living, including cooker, microwave, fridge, washing machine, cutlery, pots and pans, TV, DVD and CD player etc. The lounge/living area has a window/door combination overlooking the patio and front garden. This apartment is ideal for families with young children, as during the day the front door can be left open and the children can wander in and out quite safely under supervision. In the evening, children can be safely tucked up in bed but still be heard whilst parents can sit outside enjoying a glass of wine watching the incredible sunsets that can be seen from the patio.
If you want to bring your own laptop, please do, as Rocquaine Apartment is covered by our WI-FI network.
All bed linen and towels (not beach towels) are provided by us. We can also, on request, supply you free of charge with a cot and high chair. There is no charge for electricity or central heating which is available 24/7 and controlled from within the apartment.
