Food scene
A short walk across the beach from the bungalow accessible below half tide (if above half tide then a short cliff walk). This is a famous local hostelry serving fine ales and pub food.

City advice
Getting around
Bus Travel
There is a bus stop next to the bungalow with island wide connections. Our local Liberty bus service can provide Discover Jersey bus passes which allow unlimited travel around Jersey. A two, three or seven day pass can be purchased. A family pass includes two adults and three children or individual passes can be purchased. A 7 day family pass is the most expensive at £60 but in my opinion represents good value for a family of 5 to experience unlimited travel around the island.
Getting around
Hire Cars
The cheapest car hire is probably about £410 per week including insurance with no excess to pay in the event of damage. This will be for the smallest 4 seater available such as a Fiat 500. Prices ascend from this amount.
Getting around
Taxis
Taxis in Jersey are generally expensive compared to the UK. A taxi from the airport to our bungalow is usually about £12 A taxi from the bungalow to St Helier will be about £18
