    A wonderful few days

    From the very first telephone contact (Laura) the staff at Jersey Heritage could not have been more professional and helpful.
    The property itself is in an amazing location, set amid the dunes on St Ouen's Bay. It feels removed from the stresses of everyday life, whilst still being easy to get to & from (we had a car) and with lovely eateries close by and striking distance (by car) to food shops. We would have been content just sitting on the terrace and watching the sea, the surfers & dog walkers for hours on end!

    Wake up to the sound of the waves

    We fully enjoyed the our short stay. We'd only recommend a few more lights like the ones on the tables by the settee to be able to get better light on the dining table for reading.

    2 Night Stay

    We had a great time at the Barge Aground, very comfortable and everything we needed was catered for, a little disappointed that we weren’t allowed to access the rooftop area, that would have made the stay even better, I couldn’t see a reason why it was locked off. Apart from that it was a lovely stay

Positioned in stunning St Ouen’s Bay, Barge Aground (also known as Seagull) was built in the 1930s and is the last of the traditional seaside follies that once lined the bay. This art deco delight has direct access to the beach. Accommodating six people.

Uniquely shaped like a barge, the property has two adult twin bunk rooms located in the ‘stern’ of the property, while the kitchen and bathroom are off the large lounge and diner. There is a comfortable double sofa bed in the ‘prow’ of the building. Double doors open onto a large terrace, which overlooks the bay and is perfect for outdoor living or for cocktails whilst the sun goes down.

Barge Aground is great for either a family break or a romantic break for two. The property is close to many beachfront cafes and restaurants along St Ouen’s Bay, and sits in Jersey’s National Park. There are several surf schools close by and two golf courses are also just a short distance away.
