Lovely place to stay! Host check in instructions were clear, easy to follow and there was plenty of street parking right out front. The suite itself is very clean and nice. The bed is super comfy and the coffee station is very well stocked! Great location close to a number of beaches, cafes and restaurants. Very private with your own outdoor seating protected from rain and sun. Had a wonderful stay and would recommend to anyone!

We really enjoyed our three night stay in this lovely modern room. It has a really nice fully tiled bathroom. The room is doubled glazed and obviously well insulated which keeps it quiet and warm. Very private space with its own covered outdoor area. Well located being a 10-15 minute stroll into St Heliers. There was always plenty of parking available on the street. We'll definitely be back. Thank you very much!

A little bit of heaven in St Helier’s

We so appreciated the early check in that David offered as we had just come off a very long flight. As other reviewers have mentioned everything was just perfect and we loved every minute of our stay here.

The only little comment we have is the water tasted a little funny from the tap, even when boiled. Everything else was exceptional.
