La Sablonnerie is a hotel and restaurant in Sark, in the Channel Islands.[1] It is located in Little Sark, in an old 16th century farmhouse with gardens.[2][3][4] Owned by Elizabeth Perree, the hotel contains 15 double rooms, 6 single rooms and one suite.[4] The 2002 Good Hotel Guide describes the hotel as "Long, low and white-walled... a stylish, idiosyncratic little hotel, much admired."[4] The restaurant is noted for its seafood dishes (especially lobster) and cream teas.[3]
