LADS, fancy some "peace and quiet" on a "magical" island?

Monday 29 January 2024


The LADbible has shared the glory of Herm with its 49 million followers, encouraging them to visit the "hidden" treasure of an island.

In a post shared on Sunday afternoon, the island was described as the "UK's 'magical' island with empty beaches where cars are banned and (the) only hotel has no clocks".

Aside from the geographical faux pas, which has since been corrected, the article shared by LADBible was well-received, with Herm Island and Visit Guernsey both taking the opportunity to share it.

Visit Guernsey said it was "lovely to see the beautiful Herm Island being celebrated", adding "Have you visited recently?"

Liesja Grut commented on the LADBible page that Herm is her "favourite place in the whole wide world" while Kirsty Miller shared: "I used to live/work here. It is an actual paradise! Love Herm."

Andre Bennett described the Channel Islands as a "gem", while Samantha Robles-Hulme said: "Guernsey is stunning. I've not been there."

Richard Heaume, a Guernseyman who lives in Jersey, took a different view of the article to many others.

"Take this down before everyone goes there," he joked. "It's paradise for a reason. [I'm] looking forward to the first mermaid beer (of the year)."

The island's Mermaid Tavern reopens this weekend after its annual winter closure. 

The pub will be screening Six Nations rugby from this Saturday with plans being finalised for half term activities for the children and cottages available for people wanting longer breaks on the island LADBible says you're offered a "truly relaxing holiday".

In describing Herm as "somewhere new, somewhere less touristy and crowded" the article author also wrote: "I know where I'm going in May". 

If Joshua Mair does pay the 'jewel in the crown' of our Bailiwick a visit during May then he could be entertained by tribute acts to Madness and Celine Dion with more events likely to be booked in.

May sees an average temperature of 15c with the Bailiwick recording its highest May temperature of 25.9c in 2003.

The month is of course blessed with three Bank Holidays including Guernsey's Liberation Day on 9 May.
