Boat life at Barge Aground.
How about staying in, not on, a boat? A one-of-a-kind seaside escape awaits at this 1930’s beach hut hideaway complete with portholes, with St. Ouen’s beach quite literally on your doorstep. Right at the heart of the area’s nature reserve, the sights, sounds and salty air of the bay are yours for your stay.

King of your own castle.
It’s one of Jersey’s most iconic locations, and Elizabeth Castle can be all yours (well nearly) with a stay at this apartment within the barracks. Cut off by the tide twice a day, with ferry transport to and from the castle, this historic Tudor castle location on the rocks is yours to explore.
Elizabeth Castle, check tide times when booking.
Panoramic 360°-degree views.
The Radio Tower’s bird’s-eye view is possibly the most spectacular way to see Jersey in all seasons, with breathtaking views sweeping from St. Ouen’s beach to La Corbière Lighthouse. With its Bauhaus-inspired lines, this is an unforgettable spot to watch a storm roll in.
