Lihou House is a self-catering group hostel on Lihou Island, a 36-acre tidal Ramsar nature reserve in the parish of St Pierre du Bois, off Guernsey's west coast. Run by The Lihou Charity LBG on behalf of the States of Guernsey, the nine-room house sleeps up to 30 guests and is accessible only at low tide via a cobbled causeway from L'Eree headland. It serves schools, youth groups, families, and community groups, with activities including birdwatching, wild swimming in Venus Pool, and exploration of 12th-century priory ruins. —
