In 1995 the States of Guernsey bought Lihou Island and house in order to guarantee the people of Guernsey and visitors alike, access to this beautiful and inspiring Island.
The Lihou Charitable Trust took over the lease for the house in 2006 in order to continue the work started by The States by ensuring that the House on the island remain as a facility open to all.
The House is orientated towards youth and school groups but also accommodates adult gatherings for any purpose from workshops to parties. The Trust has a 'Robin Hood' scale of charges that benefit the young. These charges are available on the prices page.
The house is available to anyone who wishes to book it. However due to unfortunate past experiences we do not cater for 18th or 21st birthday parties.
Some activities such as archery, abseiling and climbing may be booked at an extra cost and subject to the availability of the warden.
The House is now very busy and as such it is advisable to book for a specific date about 12 months in advance.

Lihou House is now the proud guardians of a system of power generation appropriate to the location.
Thanks to Jon Heaume who donated the equipment, Lihou will be able to run most of the time without the use of a generator and the associated costs of this. Currently we use around 8000 litres of diesel each year running the generator that powers the house and the water treatment plant. All this diesel has to be transported over the causeway which is a very important and sensitive RAMSAR site. By using alternative energy we will be reducing the chance of harming this environment by hugely reducing the amount of fuel oil moved over the causeway.
