About Jersey
Jersey is one hour away from the UK
mainland and yet has a distinctly relaxed flavour! Close to France,
yet proudly British we are proud of our links with Great Britain
and Europe. One of the few places where you will still find a pound
note, Jersey prints its own currency. All notes drawn on a UK bank
are legal tender in Jersey, so whether you are from England,
Scotland, Ireland or Wales you will not need to exchange any money
when visiting.
Known for the fantastic restaurants
and dining opportunities, Jersey people take their food very
seriously. A fantastic destination for families, Jersey has a huge
range of activities for all ages... and some of the cleanest
beaches in Europe!
We are often asked by our visitors
who have enjoyed aMaizin! Adventure Park for further
recommendations. We have produced three pages: Kids activities in
Jersey, Attractions in Jersey and Things to Do in Jersey.
We hope you enjoy the information and
please let us know if there is something else you would like to
see. Jersey Tourism website www.jersey.com also has a
large amount of information.
Staying in Jersey
There are a number of family
friendly hotels in Jersey and feedback from our visitors on the
comfort of their stay is being passed on to you!
The Radisson Blu Waterfront Hotel offers a
comfortable experience within a unique setting. Close to town
and many amenities from the Waterfront nearby!
This new hotel is centrally located, making it easy to access the
different delights of Jersey!
Radisson Blu
St
Brelade's Bay Hotel is being completely refurbished and I'm
reliably informed that it will be stunning! Many of our visitors
love this end of the island situated a stone's throw from one of
Jersey's most popular beaches!
Family friendly - Merton Hotel - they have a great pool
complex with a flowrider and lots of evening entertainment! Sam our
manageress visits every Tuesday evening with a small animal..or
two!
Another hotel that seems popular with our guests is the Hampshire Hotel. Reasonably priced with good
facilities this is a good place to use as a base for your
holiday.
There is some lovely self catering accommodation in Jersey
- take a look at Freedom Holidays
Family friendly campsite - Rozel
Farm - run by a local company, great service and great
facilities
Transport
Why not leave the car at home and hire a bike? If you would like to cycle round
the island find information on our "green lane" system!
Do you want to leave the car at home, but would rather take the bus? We
have ample parking for cars and bikes, and the bus stops at the
entrance to the farm. See our map! Number 9, or the red
and yellow Explorer network will bring you to our door!
Eating out
We tend to stay in the West for a good meal! The Five
Mile Road have Big Verns and the Watersplash for family meals. new in this area
is El Tico which has also been added to the 2010 Michelin
Guide!
El
Tico
La
Pulente Pub has a great menu, Cheffins and Salty Dog for something more upmarket!
Had
a lovely meal recently at the Vic in
the Valley well worth a visit!
Another
great place with a great location is Rozel Bar and Restaurant
Anything else?
I hope you are looking carefully! I
love this picture. Taken from a space satellite it shows the coast
of France and the Channel Islands. Makes you realise just how close
to France we are!
I hope I have added some items of interest, please let me know
if there is anything I've missed!
