I've been there for day trips when I've been on holiday to Guernsey. Try the Guernsey tourist board, in case you didn't realise you will prob need to get a ferry or flight to Guernsey first! http://tourism.guernsey(.)net/ http://www.guernseytouristboard(.)com/ Natalie

Sounds as if you really enjoyed yourself Lorr. What I'm after is who would I book through for staying on the island ie self catering cottages. Lin

Linda, If you just go to "Google" and put Sark holiday cottages in, it comes up with a few places where you can book....just tried it. We went to Sark about 25 years ago I think we went over by ferry from Guernsey, lovely island, if I remember right I don't think that there are any cars there

Researching:
Ringrose from Countesthorpe Lord and Burley from Countesthorpe...Dixon Dawson Wood and Wilkinson from Caistor ,Starkey and Wood from Edendam. Hare from Horncastle.

Hello Linda Sark is a beautiful retreat with no cars just tractors and horse-drawn carriages during the tourist season. The air is so clean and there are fantastic views. There is a wonderful shop that makes horse-shaped chocolates, a grocery store, cafes and tea shops. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. I only had a day trip from Guernsey but would love to stay longer. Happy holidays. Debbie

Wonderful place! My brother and sister in law live there! Have many fond memories of the Islands as my husband was born on Jersey and most of my family research is there. Go to - Thisisguernsey(.)com click on news and on the left side is Sark News. From there you can surf all the info you need for Sark. Have a great holiday.
