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 island 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.

Duke of Edinburgh's Gold Award Residential
Aug 12th 2010
Recently a group of 13 D of E Gold Award participants spent 5 nights in Lihou House. The group was a mix of individuals from the UK, Jersey and Guernsey. As well as doing activities such as climbing, abseiling, archery and coasteering, they were also tasked with three other projects designed to enable them to give something back to both the Island and The Trust. One was to create a simple guide to common species found in the Lihou rock pools for use by visiting school groups. Another was to help re-roof one of the outbuildings and the third was to open the house to the public for teas and coffees whilst serving their own home made cakes. The money raised through donations from the latter totalled some £637. A great week was had by all and hopefully the participants felt they learnt some useful lessons for life.
