If you want a unique historical immersion in a most wonderful location to explore that is separated from the main land by tides this is for you! The accommodation is steeped in history yet wonderfully clean, warm and secure. A perfect cosy location to get away from any of the weather should it be inclement. Chris the Castle Guardian gave us a wonderful engaging and fascinating tour of the castle, there is nothing he did not know and his enthusiasm shone right through making it the highlight of our stay. A gem in the crown of what Jersey has to offer. You MUST book this for a most magical...more
Great to have such a comfortable and well appointed and furnished place in a lovely setting for when we come over. You'll need a car but after that little else. It's right in the middle of the island and a great base to wake up in and come back to. There are some stairs but if you can cope with that (and the temptation of the huge barrels of cider downstairs...) you'll have a great stay.
A marvellous stay at Archirondel Tower. Very clean, very welcoming. We four thoroughly enjoyed the weekend there. My only criticism is the first floor external door could do with some seal or draught excluder fitted to the door jamb as the bedroom was very draughty and cold due to the moderate southerly winds that weekend.
This is our fourth time staying at Kemp Tower and we loved it. Grandchildren love playing and all the adults loved a good food and get together. We only had one issue with flies but I’m sure that can be rectified.
This is an extraordinary property in a stunning cliffside setting. There is a real sense of adventure in exploring the different levels and finding all the terraces and rooms in the very quirky layout. The rooms are clean, well equipped and cosy, which was really important for a visit in February. Arriving in the dark and finding large torches charged and ready for use was a thoughtful touch. The conversion of the historic property is thoughtfully done, with modern finishes and furniture complementing the different phases and rather stern military character very well but without losing the...more
The perfect location for a quiet cozy staycation. We loved the fire, although we didn’t realise there would only be given enough wood for one fire and had to pick up some more. Very clean and everything we needed for cooking was in the cupboards. Definitely recommend.
We have just had another wonderful trip to Jersey with our little dog and had our first stay in a Jersey Heritage building! The communications were spot on and we particularly like having the flexibility of a 'key box' arrival and departure. Despite still being only March, the fort had such a cosy feel and was lovely and warm throughout, which was unexpected due to the nature of the building. The other pleasant surprise was how immaculately clean everything was. Not even a cobweb to be seen in the German bunker parts of the building; so well done to the cleaning team! The kitchen was well...more
We absolutely loved our stay at Radio Tower. There's lots of spiral stairs to climb, with the last 26 up to the top floor being particularly narrow, but wow is so worth it for the incredible views. The 3 ensuite bedrooms are quite compact, but perfect with a wardrobe and full length mirror, and also have stunning views through the slot windows. The kitchen is small, but fully equipped and has a toilet next door, but there's also a fridge in the cupboard up on the top level, which was particularly handy as also had a freezer compartment for ice. We had a lovely meal at the Corbiere Phare nex...more
old farm building refurbished to high standard. If you are tall you need to duck a lot and a car is pretty essential but it's lovely staying on an old farm with such great history. Flat is comfortable, nicely finished and well equipped.
Another great stay at La Rocco tower. We were lucky with the weather. Sunset views from the top of the tower were stunning and clear skies for start gazing in the evening. Seeing quite a few shooting stars. Kayaking there and back was kept interesting with a little swell and a few waves on the beach. A top mini adventure.
Our second stay and have already booked to return later this year . Quaint , quiet & just perfect for relaxing Staycation with our 4 legged friends . Would definitely benefit having an outside tap for sandy Paws & Feet and such a shame that H&S prevents use of roof area .
Fantastic support from Jersey Heritage. Gorgeous location. Only issue is the main room leaks terribly when it rains and is uninhabitable.
Trudie our guide was brilliant and I would recommend her we had a brilliant time. When we arrived I noticed the crockery and cutlery were icky (they had not been cleaned properly). Brick dust had been falling down and covered the top shelf in the kitchen (If another group had been in recently then they hadn't left the tower in a good state if however a group hadn't been in then I can see the wind had pushed this in). Cutlery and large items scapulars etc were in a mess. Trudie together with another member of my party and myself spent time cleaning and arranging them where they should go so...more
This was a perfect base for laid back beach life at St Ouens. Basic camping style accommodation, but kept you dry and out of the wind at night. Public toilets just a couple of mins walk away. Great storage space for surf boards and ideal for BBQs outside watching the sunset. If you cant take your own BBQ there is a decent one on site. Huge dining table on the ground floor, very atmospheric, but you will need lots of light, so take candles and lamps. Our UK /USA guests were very impressed they had access to an 18th century martello tower, so it was a big success.
