Before the Second World
War there were many holiday bungalows along St Ouen’s
Bay, of which The Barge Aground is the only survivor.
This quirky 1930's folly is built in the shape of
a grounded boat overlooking the wonderful sunsets
that dominate summer evenings in St Ouen. The rooms
have been restored to their pre-war style but with
all the modern convenience you would expect for your
stay with us.
A
central sitting room welcomes you as you enter the
accommodation and immediately transports you back
to a less urgent time. Two bedrooms, each containing
adult bunks, are situated at the stern end of the
Barge, whilst the kitchen and Bathroom are at the
prow.
Wooden
shutters keep the building cool in hot days and private
when required. Restored wooden floors are covered
in rugs finishing the overall feel of 1930s Jersey.
Double doors give out on to a paved area, ideal for
breakfast, lunch or dinner or just to sun yourself
surrounded by some of Jersey most striking views.
There are steps leading down to the sea wall with
a convenient flight of steps to the beach.
The
Barge Aground will sleep two couples or a family of
four comfortably. It is the perfect accommodation
for people wanting good access to St Ouen’s
beach and surfing that is renowned throughout Europe.
It is also conveniently located close to the wetland
area and unspoilt duneland for bird watchers and walkers,
a golf course for enthusiasts or simply peaceful if
you just want to relax and spoil yourself.
A few low steps lead up to the Barge, which is all
on one level. The property is adjacent to the sea
wall which has a drop down to the beach. Steps down
to beach.
