The Blonde Hedgehog Shortlist*
St Anne, Alderney
Good Hotel Guide Review
Tranquil Alderney, the northernmost of the inhabited Channel Islands, is roused from hibernation by Julie-Anne Uggla’s contemporary, eco-conscious hotel. The lively restaurant, marble-topped bar and chic bedrooms span a Victorian pub, a Georgian town house and an 18th-century cottage on a cobbled street; with plentiful use of natural materials, a modern rustic ambience connects them all. Driven by the seasons and supplies from the kitchen garden, flavourful, unfussy dishes are served in the stylish restaurant, which opens on to a terraced garden. Eat well, then retire to one of the well-equipped, handsome-hued bedrooms or suites. Next day, island activities, with a picnic, can be arranged.
