Nestled in the verdant embrace of St Peter's Valley, Greenhills Country House Hotel offers a serene escape. This 16th-century granite farmhouse blends historic character with modern comfort, creating a peaceful haven amidst Jersey's countryside.
Greenhills occupies a venerable 16th-century granite farmhouse, now a cornerstone of the Hand Picked Hotels collection. Situated deep within the tranquil folds of St Peter's Valley, the hotel maintains much of its original character, with exposed beams, sturdy stone walls, and warming open fireplaces. These historic elements are thoughtfully complemented by country-house styled bedrooms, offering a blend of past and present comforts. Stepping outside, guests find a sheltered walled garden, where mature trees and vibrant flower beds cultivate the impression of a private estate. A heated outdoor swimming pool adds to the appeal, inviting relaxation. The hotel's restaurant prides itself on seasonal, local produce, served either in a wood-panelled dining room or al fresco on the terrace overlooking the garden during warmer months. This combination of history, natural beauty, and genuine tranquillity makes Greenhills feel delightfully removed from the bustle, yet its central island location ensures easy access to both north and south coast beaches.
Expect a stay defined by quiet relaxation and understated elegance. Days here might involve leisurely strolls through the walled garden, a refreshing dip in the heated outdoor pool, or settling into a comfortable lounge with a book. The restaurant offers a refined dining experience with a focus on fresh, local ingredients, providing a taste of Jersey's larder. The atmosphere is generally calm, attracting those seeking a peaceful, romantic interlude. While it feels wonderfully secluded, Jersey's compact size means venturing out to explore nearby beaches or attractions remains convenient by car.
Greenhills is tucked away in St Peter's Valley, providing a truly rural setting. You'll find it on Mont de l'Ecole, a verdant lane that winds through the heart of the parish. A car is advisable for exploring this part of the island, though taxis can be arranged. Despite its tranquil location, the hotel is just a short drive from St Helier and within easy reach of beaches on both the north and south coasts. The nearby parish offers charming lanes and vistas for gentle exploration.
