I would reccomend cobo bay hotel , not as cheap as a guest house but right on the sea front , and theres a great bar next door ,and a chippie just down the road . Its in Guernsey of course.

There are some S/C apartments at the Samares Coast Hotel in Jersey.

They are right by the coast, not a tourist beach part, but still plenty of sand and sea and open air! You can walk or bus to a beach Havre de Pas, and the main centre of St Helier, or the other way to Gorey (where there is a castle)

There is also a smallish indoor pool at the hotel. We stayed at the hotel 6 years ago.

There is more about Jersey and Guernsey here.

P.S. if you have already got flights, aren't they to one island or the other?

Thanks for your replies.

Will have a look at those mentioned.

Regarding flights, i have not actually booked them yet but my quotes were really good value. I have to get a move on !!!
