Beyond the postcard views, there are excellent restaurants, independent boutiques and stylish shops that kept me, a fashion writer, very occupied. If Guernsey offers an escape from city life, Herm completely erases it. For people looking for a long weekend break that doesn't require a long flight, Guernsey and Herm offer everything you want from a weekend away. Guernsey is sophisticated and has all the amenities of a city break with excellent restaurants, shops and bars, whilst also offering beautiful beaches and nature. And Herm offers you complete tranquillity.
