We were heavily disrupted by a local concert spanning serveral days so suggest before booking you check what’s going on at the Jersey showground just up the road.
However the main issue in our view was the dismissive attitude of the owner to concerns we raised. A total lack of empathy.
It is a shame as the property itself was excellent but I would definitely not recommend staying here based on our personal experience.
The owner John is very hospitable and friendly.
It is advisable to get a parking disc and a number of pay cards available from the Town Hall in St Helier,Morrisons supermarket,and garages to help with parking on Jersey.
That being said, we found areas which didn't need these, but it advisable to read the signs where you park first, to avoid any fines.
