Longueville Manor

A 14th-century manor turned country-house hotel, run by the same family for generations and tucked into wooded grounds on the edge of St Helier. The walled kitchen garden supplies much of the produce for the fine-dining restaurant, where seasonal Jersey menus are served in oak-panelled rooms hung with portraits and antiques. Bedrooms are individually decorated, many overlooking the lily pond, ornamental gardens or duck pond that give the place its country-estate feel despite being minutes from town. It's an understated, old-money kind of luxury - ideal for couples and food lovers wanting proper service and a genuinely peaceful setting without any modern flash.

Dress code applies in the dining room (smart casual minimum, jackets preferred for men at dinner); book well ahead for dinner, especially at weekends, and ask for a garden-view room to make the most of the grounds.

High-end. Check Booking.com for live rates.
