Accommodation
The booklet Jersey – Open House, available from Jersey Tourism (see Contact Addresses section), gives comprehensive information on all types of accommodation on the island. Short-break and longer-stay holidays are available throughout the year. The most popular season is from May until September.
HOTELS: The official consumer information pack, compiled by the Jersey Hospitality Association, rue Masurier, St Helier, Jersey JE2 4YE (tel: (01534) 721 421; fax: (01534) 722 496; e-mail: hospitality@jerseyhols.com; website: www.jerseyhols.com) is available from Jersey Tourism, (see Contact Addresses section).
Disabled visitors should contact the Maison des Landes, route des Landes, St Ouen, Jersey JE3 3AA (tel: (01534) 481 683; fax: (01534) 485 327; e-mail: maisonlandes@localdial.com) for information. This offers accommodation for up to 40 disabled visitors and family/friends. All rooms have ensuite bathrooms and there is a heated swimming pool. It is open between early April and late October.
Grading: Jersey has its own hotel and guest-house grading scheme. Hotels are graded from 1 to 5 suns and guest-houses are graded from 1 to 3 diamonds. The greater the number of suns or diamonds, the higher the grade achieved. All hotels are inspected and graded annually.
GUEST-HOUSES: There are more than 200 guest-houses on the island, some offering bed, breakfast and evening meals, others just bed and breakfast. Despite the large number of establishments, advance booking is recommended as many guest-houses are not open throughout the whole year.
SELF-CATERING: There is limited self-catering accommodation registered with the Tourism Department. Premises taking less than six people do not have to register and are not inspected. This type of accommodation is available through a number of handling agents. Furnished flats, bungalows, chalets and villas are not generally available, owing to the acute shortage of housing for permanent residents. Some units do, however, become available at various times and advertisements can be placed in the local newspaper. Contact the Jersey Evening Post, Advertisement Department, PO Box 582, Five Oaks, St Saviour, Jersey JE4 8XQ (tel: (01534) 611 611; fax: (01534) 611 704; e-mail: advertising@jerseyeveningpost.com; website: www.thisisjersey.com) for details.
CAMPING: Camping is only permitted on recognised campsites, of which there are four. Owing to limited capacity, advance booking is essential. There are no caravan sites on Jersey.
YOUTH HOSTELS: There are no youth hostels on Jersey.
