Dixcart Bay Hotel: An old fashioned welcome

Dixcart, Sark's oldest Hotel, slumbers high up in a 'sun-trapped' valley in a picturesque and secluded world of its own.

Once a 16th century feudal farm longhouse, the estate includes an extensive acreage of medieval hand-terraced gardens, fields, cliff paths overlooking the sea, the densely wooded Dixcart Valley, and the sheltered Bay of Dixcart.

Unique Quality: Since its early existence, the hotel has hosted various royals, writers, artists and poets - especially Victor Hugo, (who stayed several times between 1851 and 1859. Other famous guests include Swinburne and Mervyn Peake, the author of 'Mr. Pye' ( filmed in the grounds). Latterly, the Welsh tenor, Harry Secombe and violinist, Nigel Kennedy. All have been entranced by Sark's unique stillness, serenity and gentle hospitality.

La Sablonnerie Hotel: Peaceful Retreat

A long, low farmhouse built some 400 years ago on the part of the island known as Little Sark. Situated in a time warp of simplicity it is beautiful, remote and peaceful. A vintage horse drawn carriage collects guests from Little Sark's harbour, to convey them in style to the former 16th century farmhouse and cottages which comprise La Sablonnerie. The restaurant has a reputation for superb cuisine. The hotel is highly self supporting with meat, vegetables, fruit and dairy produce from its own farm and gardens (most of it organic). Sark lobster and oysters and freshly caught fish served daily.
