Best Guernsey breaks from £243pp as island plans to lift UK travel restrictions from July 1

GUERNSEY is looking like a great option for Brits wanting to get away this year, as the island plans to remove travel restrictions for UK visitors from July.

It means Brits will be able to holiday on the Channel Island - famous for its beautiful beaches - just in time for summer staycations.

This means there'll no longer be testing or self-isolation requirements for visitors from the UK.

There are currently some great deals on short breaks:

It's worth nothing that the removal of travel restrictions will only happen if the vaccine rollout continues at its current pace.

Guernsey hopes to have given all of its adult population their first dose of the vaccine - and those who are most vulnerable both doses - by the start of July.

Deputy Peter Ferbrache, Chief Minister of Guernsey, said: "Islanders have worked together fantastically since our first Covid case in spring 2020, and thanks to them we have avoided some of the worst effects of the pandemic compared with many other parts of the world."
