Château La Chaire

Jersey


This 19th-century country manor turned boutique hotel sits just inland from Rozel Bay. It retains some original features – a rococo lounge, oak panelling in the dining room, antique furnishings, while the 14 rooms are unique in character – some with sloping roofs, free-standing tubs and four-poster beds. The service can't be faulted and the restaurant is excellent.
