Westhill Country Hotel

A home-from-home feel

This go-slow capital oozes more peace and calm than you’d expect. It’s a beachside retreat with a charming natural element, rather than a bucket-and-spade pull – pebbly bays are nothing but welcoming. Get stuck in and wander the marshy landscape and its English country streets.

Soak up the sights

For starters, the Hermitage sits off the bay, so traipse over at low tide. This stone structure is one of St Helier’s most iconic features – as is the magnificent white hospital building. Keep wandering into town and you’ll find Liberation Square, where you can marvel at the statue, plus a mighty obelisk and fountains.
