A haunting tale of love, loss and finding one’s place in the world.
Widowed artist Annabel returns to Guernsey seeking a fresh start for herself and her young daughter away from her late husband’s controlling family. Seagull Cottage appears perfect, by the sea and with a low rent. The snag is it comes with a resident ghost, Daniel, a sea captain who died 70 years ago in 1946. He built the cottage and objects to anyone not family living there. He and Annabel have to come to terms with sharing what he still considers to be his home.
After a difficult start they begin to share their pasts and an unlikely friendship blooms, becoming deeper as they spend more time together. Annabel realises she’s falling for him but would she truly prefer a ghost to a real live man?
Blending elements of romance, mystery and the supernatural into a compelling tale about the power of human connection and presenting a modern twist on R.A. Dick’s novel The Ghost and Mrs Muir and the classic movie of the same name.

You’re never too far from the coast and some gorgeous views.
I haven’t visited Guernsey but it sounds as though I would really appreciate the beautiful scenery and wonderful wildlife on the island.
I love wildlife spotting, and Guernsey has plenty of natural spots for all sorts of animals and birds.
I’ve never been before, but I hear it’s beautiful with plenty of stunning scenery.
I love all the smaller islands – beautiful!
The lovely scenery
Guernsey is actually on my bucket list! I have always wanted to visit all of the channel islands, they look so beautiful.
I haven’t been to Guernsey, but really hoping to soon. I’d love to visit the historical sites and military museum
Sadly I’ve never been to beautiful Guernsey or indeed any of the Channel Islands. It is somewhere I have always wanted to visit and yearned to go even more after viewing them in the distance from our numerous cross-channel ferry crossings. I fea at 76 I am unlikely to ever get to visit now as my world is rapidly shrinking. Long journeys are too tiring and no longer an option.
I love the beauty scenery.
I’ve not visited Guernsey so hopefully I will one day and I look forward to exploring and seeing this beautiful island.
I have never been to Guernsey, but the pictures show a fantastic coastline. I would love to go!
The natural beauty of the island.
The Relaxed way of life
The peace and quiet and the wildlife, a different pace of life
the wide open spaces and tranquillity
I love how peaceful it is, I always visit to try and destress and go on nice walks!
the beautiful sea views
I love the sea air and the views
The coastline and the great seafood
Guernsey cow as it’s a heritage breed that is sadly dwindling. I’ve never been to Guernsey but I enjoyed reading the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society.
I love the changing scenery every few minutes driving
I would love to visit for the beaches, the history and the walking.
It’s like Jersey was about 20 years ago – a lot calmer!
The light it’s great for taking photos
Not been but it’s on the bucket list to do so
Love the wildlife and the peace . Its so beautiful. Must visit soon
Love the scenery and the fascinating history. Have visited many times
I’ve never been to Guernsey, the closest I’ve gotten is Jersey, but I don’t remember it at all, as I was only two years old, and apparently all I would eat was Hula Hoops!!
The lovely walks and the fantasticflowers and birdlife.
I’ve never been but would love to see the wildlife x
What do I love about Guernsey…. The cows of course. Such delicious creamy milk from such placid beautiful animals.
Glorious sand, sea and sunshine. Warm without being too hot! Warm and friendly people. What’s not to love.
Hauteville House, where Victor Hugo lived. One of the most interesting and eccentric houses I have ever toured, and it gave me a good insight to the man and his writing
I love that Guernsey is home to a variety of wildlife and as a wildlife lover, I’d really like to go on a Guernsey safari to see all the wildlife there.
I love the coastlines and the many walks to do
Love sitting and watching the sea on the rugged coastline
Entering for The Ghost of Seagull Cottage. I’ve never been to Guernsey but it’s on my destination list to visit. I loved The Guernsey Potato Peel & Pie Club book. It’s all about the magic & intrigue of an island so close to France, yet English & the curious history.
I haven’t been to Guernsey but have the channel islands on my list – they look beautiful
I haven’t been to Guernsey, but watched a documentary by Michael Portillo, and it looked stunning. He said that the people are incredibly friendly and amiable.
You had me with a haunting tale.
I love the thought of all those Guernsey coastal walks and unspoilt beaches
Sadly I have not visited Guernsey YET but I do collect Guernsey stamps because they are so beautiful reflecting places to visit, flowers, birds, animals, etc. One day I must rectify this.
I’ve never been to Guernsey, but would love to visit soon.
I love the compact size of Guernsey, you can drive around it easily and visit beautiful beaches, lovely countryside & enjoy cafés & little shops!
I haven’t been there for many years now, perhaps I shall go again soon!
The WW2 historic sites
The relaxed way of life and convenience to get there – a beautiful place to stay and relax
I have never been fortunate enough to visit but my friend says the scenery is delightful.
I have been but my friend says it’s beautiful
The lovely scenery
I have never been there but it’s on my bucket list x
Never been to Guernsey, but would love to go.
I like the slower pace of life in Guernsey. It also seems to be in a time warp.
What I love about Guernsey is the beautiful scenery, the relaxing atmosphere, the lovely people and the delicious food
When we last visited Guernsey we found visiting the WW2 exhibitions and visitor attractions to be very interesting and historical.
When we last visited Guernsey, which was quite a few years ago, we loved visiting the WW2 exhibitions and visitors attractions around the island. We found them very interesting and historical.
The islands of Guernsey have so much to offer including coastal and cliff path walks, breathtaking views, history and heritage, plus proximity to France.
