Westhill Country Hotel

Set back in mature, leafy grounds on the edge of St Helier, the Westhill has a peaceful, residential feel that's a world away from the bustle of town despite being only a short drive from the centre. Two outdoor pools and well-tended gardens make it popular with families in the warmer months, while the comfortable, traditionally furnished rooms and on-site restaurant mean guests rarely need to leave the grounds. Its position just below Mont Cochon also makes it a handy base for exploring the quieter parishes and the north of the island. It's the kind of place that suits a slower-paced, car-led holiday rather than a city-break style stay.

Best with a hire car, as evening bus links from this area are limited; the hotel operates seasonally so check opening dates before booking.
