Longueville Manor

What a hotel! Not only is this the most highly rated place to stay on Jersey, but it’s one of the few family-run five AA Red Star hotels in the UK. Located just outside the capital of the island, St Helier, the hotel occupies a 14th-Century manor house and extensive grounds, which include wonderful gardens and woodland, tennis courts, a croquet lawn, and walking routes. 

Although you’re only a short drive from several sandy beaches and the prestigious Royal Jersey Golf Club, it would be easy to spend your entire stay at the hotel, such is the beauty of its setting and the range of its facilities. After a refreshing dip in the outdoor pool, you can pamper yourself at the boutique spa, join a yoga class, book a personal trainer session, or hire a bike and explore the lush 18 acres of land that surround the hotel.  

When it comes to dining, the restaurant’s imaginative dishes comprise fresh produce from the hotel’s own kitchen garden, while the wine cellar boasts more than 5,000 bottles, including some of the world’s rarest wines. Don’t miss the indulgent afternoon teas and cooked breakfasts, which you can have brought to your room – a cosy nest with Wi-Fi, a flat-screen TV, a luxury bathroom, and scented candles.

Family friendly and brimming with quality, this outstanding hotel has to be seen to be believed.
