If walkings not your style, don’t worry – there are more options below.

Once you have disembarked the boat, make your way through the tunnel to the bottom of harbour hill. There is a steep path from the harbour to the village area and the easiest way up is on the so-called “toast-rack” which is an open-sided tractor-drawn trailer and meets all scheduled boat services.

After landing at the harbour, there is a pleasant woodland footpath that runs parallel to harbour hill. The start of the footpath is located approx. 150 metres up the hill on the left-hand side and is clearly sign-posted.

Stocks is easily accessible by foot, being in the heart of Sark, and just a convenient 20 minutes from the Sark harbour.

We are also just a 10 minute walk from the nearest bay, 10 minutes from the Avenue Sark village, and of course just a 10 minute walk away from the stunning La Coupée.

To experience a true Sark arrival the most charming way to arrive at Stocks is on one of our own horse and carriages. These can be pre-arranged to meet you at the top of the harbour hill and transport you in true Sark style to the hotel.
