The best accommodations Channel Islands

Budget & Tips

Most are comfortable and clean, even in the lower-category hotels. Basic comforts include a TV and tea and coffee-making facilities in every room. Individual bathrooms are also available in all rooms. Tourist offices have established a classification of establishments. In Jersey, large traditional hotels, bed and breakfasts and guesthouses are symbolized by stars. In Guernsey, the comfort level of hotels is also indicated by stars, and that of guesthouses by diamonds. Despite the presence of millionaires and billionaires, the islands are not Monaco, and there are no grand palaces, although there are some (very) fine addresses.

In the Channel Islands, it's also easy to find accommodation to rent by the week. These can be as simple as furnished apartments for a couple, or luxurious villas or old houses for a family. These rentals come fully equipped (kitchen included) and often have an outdoor swimming pool or a large garden for the most luxurious.

Please note that this type of solution is preferable if you are traveling with your family (many hotels do not accept small children) or in a group.

Prices vary according to the season, but you can expect to pay around 25% less in low season. Expect to pay around £80 for a double room in low season, and around £400-500 for a double room in a luxury hotel in high season.

To be booked

In summer, hotels and guesthouses are often fully booked, so it's essential to reserve a few weeks in advance.

For food lovers

Food lovers are in for a treat in the Channel Islands! Whichever category of accommodation you choose, you'll usually wake up to a gargantuan British breakfast... Even if some smaller establishments have had to give it up due to the post-Covid labor shortage.
