Set in the English Channel, the island is a popular holiday destination for the discerning holiday maker. Jersey hotels can provide you with a perfect base for a break on this beautiful island.

One of the islands set in the English channel, Jersey has a mild climate compared to most of the UK and has been a popular tourist resort for some time. It is a small and intimate place, with friendly local people. A jersey hotel will reflect this personal touch. It is a great place to buy luxury goods because of its duty free tradition, so hunting for bargains is a very popular pastime. The United Kingdom's largest pearl showroom is on Jersey so it is the perfect place to treat yourself to some stunning pearl jewellery which will be the admiration of your friends.

Jersey is a small island, so getting out and about is easy. You can hire a car or why not rent a bike? Your Jersey hotel can advise you on the best places to get a reasonably priced hire car or to find the bike of your choice. Then you can get out and about and enjoy the scenery or one of the many tourist attractions there are on the lovely island of Jersey.

The world famous jersey zoo is well worth a visit. Now called Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust after the world famous conservationalist  Gerald Durrell, it is home to a vast number of endangered species, including a breeding colony of gorillas. It is a place to spend a full day in, before you go back to your Jersey hotel for a well earned rest.

Your Jersey Hotel will also be able to direct you to the atmospheric German Underground Hospital. During the Second World War Jersey was occupied by the Nazi forces, and the Hospital was built by forced labour. It is a chilling experience to go underground, and visit , as it is now a memorial to those who died, as Jersey had its own Resistance group. Also worth a visit are the stunning castles of Mont Orgueil and Elizabeth, both set high to overlook the area which they protected. There is also an ancient tomb, and a picturesque lighthouse which protects the coast.

There are excellent places to eat out in Jersey, though you may prefer to stay in your Jersey hotel to eat. The sea food is excellent and the Jersey hotels, bars, country pubs and seaside bistros provide a vast choice, using local produce such as Jersey potatoes.
