Longueville Manor

Longueville Manor

Fizz Too, the manor's own 44-foot Princess yacht, sits ready for a day chasing dolphins off the Channel Islands, before guests return to a house built for exactly that kind of unhurried evening. Longueville Manor sits in St. Saviour, near Jersey's centre, spread across 31 rooms over three floors, with gardens, a terrace, and an outdoor pool around the old house. It is the island's sole Relais & Châteaux member, and its restaurant holds a Michelin Key and three AA Rosettes, while the yacht charter, with a qualified skipper and a cold seafood lunch aboard, is not something other Jersey hotels can offer. Rooms move from a compact Standard Double to a roomier Deluxe King, several with garden views, bathrobes, and indoor fireplaces for colder months. The bar and restaurant cover breakfast through dinner, with packed lunches and a diet menu on request, and a spa, massage room, and yoga space sit alongside a tennis court, bike rental, and hiking routes for guests who want to move rather than sit still. A playroom and children's playground mean families are looked after rather than tolerated, and dogs are welcome throughout. This suits a couple building a weekend around food, gardens, and maybe an afternoon on the water; it will feel slow to anyone chasing city buzz or sharp modern design, since this remains a working manor house, not a boutique concept. Check-in runs from 3pm, check-out by 11am, and an extra bed costs £50 a night. What lingers afterward is the yacht sitting at the ready, a detail no spa treatment elsewhere quite matches. Longueville Manor is Jersey's only Relais & Châteaux hotel, an old manor house in St. Saviour with 31 rooms, gardens, a spa, and its own 44-foot yacht for chasing dolphins around the Channel Islands. It suits a slow weekend built around food and grounds, not a night out.
