Not as upscale as what some may expect for a hotel that's billed as luxury
The 16-room La Haule Manor
Hotel is a cozy boutique hotel set in attractive gardens that
look out over the picturesque sands of Jersey's St Aubin Bay. Rooms are traditional without feeling stuffy or old-fashioned, and many have lovely views over
the sea -- though others overlook the car park. The seasonal outdoor pool and hot tub
provide a fine place to unwind during the island's warmer months. A cooked-to-order breakfast is included in the rate and Wi-Fi is free. Overall,
rates are surprisingly reasonable for this level of hotel -- though if a lack of
on-site dining is an issue, check out the nearby (but pricier) Somerville
Hotel.

Scene
Elegant late 18th-century manor house with classically lavish interiors
Approaching La
Haule Manor Hotel through its ornamental garden -- complete with a decorative
fountain, leonine statues, and pretty potted flowers -- the hotel impresses with its pristine and elegantly simple Georgian facade. Stepping inside this late 18th-century manor
house, find classic interiors with Rococo-style
furnishings, Louis XIVth claw-foot couches, and gilt-framed etches and mirrors,
all illuminated by ceiling chandeliers and sconces. Victorian leather wingback
chairs, Persian rugs, and plantation window shutters give a slightly colonial
air and adds to the ambience of aristocratic Englishness and classical opulence
that pervades throughout -- also helped by a welcome glass of pink fizz on arrival. The atmosphere overall is quiet and peaceful.
Location
Located in the particularly picturesque St. Aubin area of Jersey overlooking the bay
The hotel is
located in the exclusive St. Aubin area of Jersey overlooking the beautiful
southern bay and St. Aubin's fort in the distance. The area is particularly
picturesque, with pretty country lanes flanked by hedgerows and
trees. The small town of St. Aubin -- with its marina, small shops, and restaurants -- is just over five minutes away on foot, while the beautiful sandy Beauport Beach
is just over 10 in the other direction. Its location means particularly easy
access to Jersey Airport (the hotel provides a free shuttle service which takes
under 10 minutes) while the La Route du Port Elizabeth ferry connections to
France, Guernsey, and mainland Britain is about 15 minutes away by car.
Rooms
Classically styled rooms -- most with sea views
The hotel has
just 16 rooms in all (eight standard, six superior rooms, and two suites) all of
which are impeccably finished in elegant Old English styling -- think tasseled
drapery, Louis XIVth-style furnishings, and floral etchings -- though with a
fresh and unstuffy quality. Modern amenities include flat-screen TVs (with
Freeview channels) and free Wi-Fi, while traditional bathrooms provide Crabtree
& Evelyn toiletries, bathrobes, and slippers. Superior rooms are more
spacious with Egyptian cotton bedsheets and bathtubs with separate showers,
though each suite also includes a lounge, free-standing roll-top bathtub, and
private balcony with sea views. All other rooms have either sea or inland (car
park) views.
Features
Outdoor seasonal pool and hot tub set in attractive garden overlooking the bay, plus free cooked-to-order breakfast
After the taking in the classic style of the rest of the property, the modernized breakfast room and bar can seem a bit drab and out of place. However, the cooked-to-order breakfast is high-quality and included in the rate. The hotel doesn't offer any other dining options, though it does provide free transport to dinner at the sister hotel two minutes away. The
outdoor swimming pool is heated from April to October -- as is the spacious hot
tub -- and set in well-tended gardens overlooking the beautiful bay. Parking is
available on-site free of charge and Wi-Fi is also free throughout.
