City Break In Jersey - Jersey Hotels

Posted July 3, 2009 by BookingBuddy

If you feel like getting away for a bit but don’t want to spend hours travelling, then why not try Jersey? The French-named streets, unspoilt scenery and laidback surroundings will undoubtedly make you feel like you’re a world away from the hassles of the working week. With so much to do on the little island, you’re sure to have a great trip with your family.

Stay
Merton Hotel – Situated a little off the main stretch of St. Helier, this hotel is great for a family getaway. Make sure you visit the hotel’s very own Aquadome – a huge indoor leisure club with water slides, cascade fountains, a Flowrider wave pool and a steam room. With the temperature at a constant 27 degrees, you’ll feel like you’re on a subtropical holiday even if it’s grey skies outside. Rates start at around £70 per person during the summer season.

See
Jersey War Tunnels – Set aside a couple of hours to wander through these historic tunnels which were used by German soldiers during German occupation of Jersey. There is a genuine, working version of the Enigma Machine on display – a fascinating piece of history even if you’re not a cryptography buff. It played a vital part in the outcome of the Second World War. Once you’ve left the gloomy tunnels, visit the sunny, peaceful Garden of Contemplation where you can through plaques engraved with facts about the Occupation. Entrance to the Tunnels are £10.50 for adults, and concessions are available.

Eat
Salty Dog Bistro – You can’t have an island getaway without having a seafood feast, so head to this stylish little restaurant right on St. Aubin’s harbour to get your fill. For a taste of some wonderfully fresh local produce, order from their a la carte menu. What about starting with a bowl of fresh local mussels, before moving on to a ‘Reef and Beef’ – beef paired with hand dived scallops and king prawns?
