What could be better than to watch
the sun rise and set from the ramparts of your very
own castle? The Jersey Heritage Trust is offering
a unique opportunity for you and your family to stay
at the exclusive Elizabeth Castle apartment. The 17th
century castle is named after Elizabeth 1 and is set
on an islet 15 minutes walk (at low tide) along a
causeway from West Park beach, in the parish of St.
Helier. A fully equipped and centrally heated apartment
with spacious rooms and modern services has been created
from the soldier's barracks set in the parade ground
of the castle. The islet is surrounded by sea twice
a day and complimentary transport is provided to and
from the islet by the castle ferry from 10.00am (from
mainland) to 5.30pm. Guests are advised to arrive
in Jersey in the morning to avoid missing the last
crossing to the castle and avoid incurring additional
costs for alternative late transport or overnight
accommodation.
The
castle gardien is based on site along with the castle
café which is open for breakfast and lunch.
During the day the castle is open to the public and
the castle gun is still fired daily. After closing
you will have the key to the main gate and the castle
is yours to explore.
Special
events are occasionally held at the castle. These
could be daytime or evening, public or private functions.
Please ask for more details when booking.
Set
in a stunning and peaceful location the apartment
is ideally suited to families offering tranquility
for parents and great adventure for children.
