Nine miles by five miles. That’s the size of Jersey. It’s not a lot, you may think. You’d be wrong. The island is a mix of English reserve and French savoir-faire, cosmopolitan harbor and timeless hidden valleys, continental flair and scenes that are reassuringly familiar. Its diverse attractions and natural beauty offer something for everyone and make Jersey an ideal destination for short breaks, romantic weekends, active experiences, foodie getaways and family summer holidays.

My husband and I visited Jersey with our dogs, to stay with friends. We found The Old Court House via the Visit Jesey website as a dog friendly restaurant. I chose to eat here specifically as they had lobster on the menu. We dined "downstairs" in "the dog friendly bit". Booking was straightforward and we were even able to push our reservation back a bit after a busy day although on arrival we could see why as the place was pretty dead. When arrived the young waitress behind the bar was on her phone however, did quickly spot us and come off it to seat us. There was a wait to get menus, order drinks, order food and for our food to be served. When I enquired about the price of the lobster as it's POA on the menu I was bluntly told "we don't have lobster" with no apology or acknowledgement of my obvious disappointment. I opted for a sirloin steak instead. My husband ordered the chateaubriand with scallops. No steak knives were laid. My sirloin tasted like a cheap, pub rump and was cooked medium, instead of medium-rare as requested. I fed the majority of the steak to my dogs, enjoying the chips and my husband's scallops and ordering a pizza from St. Helier on the way back. My husband ate his steak but didn't enjoy it. The meal cost us £130 (without alcohol) so we weren't pleased. We weren't asked how the food was by our server when they cleared our plates and they weren't around as we ate, to be able to let them know our issues; we struggled to get drinks when empty for the same reason. The pepsi was nice. The ladies toilets were poorly fitted with a broken mixer tap which was loose and ill fitted and handwash jammed into it's wall fitting making it difficult to use. This could be a lovely place - it had a nice, cosy, relaxed ambience - but the food was very poor and the service was slow and inattentive. A complete waste of an evening and £130. We wouldn't return or recommend to others.

The De L'Etang is ideally situated on the sea front at Havre Des Pas opposite the public bathing pool. It is a friendly establishment with a homely atmosphere. The promenade across the road is perfect for a lazy stroll at any time - day or evening. Why not take a photo at high then low tide to admire the spectacular tidal range; the Island doubles in size at low tide! Although the sea views alone will be worth your stay, the De L'Etang is conveniently close to the town centre, main bus station, park and leisure complex, with a public car park nearby - perfect for exploring the island. Jersey has everything that is ideal for a holiday, safe, clean beaches, country walks, attractions and sports that appeal to all ages. You may enjoy a meal facing the sea or on the patio in our Taverna, fused with Greek and international dishes. For your enjoyment, the De L'Etang offers a lively lounge bar with a wide selection of your favourite drinks and cocktails. Drinks may be enjoyed outside on sunny days. The De L'Etang offers a selection of single, double, twin and triple rooms, where most have a sea view. The bedrooms all have an en suite bathroom with a shower and a hairdryer. Each room includes amenities such as free WiFi and digital TV channels.
Right on the beach, immediately opposite the Lido, this place is amazing. It is a guest house, so please be prepared for a slightly more basic room and stairs, but honestly it is one of the cleanest places I've been in a long time. All of the staff are super friendly, and make you feel at home, just ask them for anything and they help sort it. Breakfast is from the menu, but it's no bother to ask for anything off menu and for extras, all delivered without any problem. The scrambled eggs are amazing, and the extra toast was gratefully received, as was the lovely jersey butter. Was a really good set up for a days sight seeing. Evening meals here are also amazing. Totally amazing, try anything from the menu as its all very good. Portions are very generous and fresh. Bus stop to catch the number 1 bus to either the east coast, or to get to the bus depot is 2 minutes from the front door. There is a direct walk to the bus depot, which takes about ten minutes, or a really nice coastal walk around the hill, and passed the harbours which takes about 20 minutes. Buses from the depot can get you all over the island easily. The sea view is very special, and includes the lido. In summary, it was lovely.

Had a lovely stay here comfortable clean rooms. The food is home cooked and delicious reasonably priced. A 10 minute walk to the beautiful harbour and beech .It may be a 2 star hotel but the manager Gabby and her staff are positively 5 star. There is ample free parking and a lovely outdoor area advise to book in advance

Thought that we would try this place again after many years and we were surprised to find that the place had not changed at all neither had the menu the only change was the prices and the quality of service and food. The food served was very mediocre and also was luke warm at best the service was abrupt after serving the food we were not asked if we needed any other condiments and were also not asked if the food was okay. We got the impression that as the majority of the other diners when we were there appeared to be in their late 60's plus that the staff were only bothered delivering the food to the tables like in a care home. If you fancy stepping into a Remake of the film Cocoon I can recommend this place.
