Stay in your very own historic castle, a mile out to sea

Terms & conditions

These are the terms which apply to the contract in relation to your booking of a Jersey Heritage
Holiday Let. For the purpose of these terms, you (the person making the booking) are referred to as the ‘Guest’ (or ‘Guests’), ‘you’ and/or ‘your’.

Please take the time to read these terms carefully as they explain important information, such as
terms of cancellation, security deposits and other important information.

Your booking must be for holiday purposes only. You may not sublet the property or use it for weddings or parties, unless otherwise approved by Jersey Heritage (JH).
Arrival and departure: the property will be available to you from 3pm on the first day of the booked letting period. All Guests and occupiers, luggage, property, vehicles etc. must vacate the property and associated land completely by 10.00 am on the last date of the letting period. If a Guest (or their guests) fails to vacate the property or associated land by this time, JH reserve the right to deduct an amount from the security deposit to cover the extra period of occupation and any extended or delayed cleaning arrangements caused by the delay.
The number of people sleeping at the property must not exceed the number stated on the booking form.
The lighting of fireworks on land surrounding the site, the use of candles and smoking inside the property are strictly prohibited.
No tents, marquees or other temporary structures may be erected on land surrounding the property.
Dogs are allowed at Barge Aground, Fort Leicester, Kempt Tower, Fishermans Cottage and La Crête Fort only; they must be supervised at all times and are not permitted to go on the furniture. Dog waste must be cleared from the surrounding area in an appropriate manner. The grounds are checked before and after each booking and if dog waste is not cleared, we will charge an additional fee, deducted from the security deposit.
Our properties are important historical sites with many original features. They do not have many of the health and safety features required of modern buildings, it is therefore essential that you and your guests behave responsibly, and that children are supervised at all times. Our properties are fitted with smoke alarms and fire extinguishers.
Vehicles may only park in the designated area.
Should there be a disturbance at one of our properties or should local residents be affected as a result of your stay, then your hire may be terminated resulting in the loss of your hire fee. In this instance it is not the responsibility of Jersey Heritage to provide alternative accommodation.
Any problems whilst you are staying at the property or grounds for complaint should be reported immediately to a member of the Jersey Heritage Lets team or the site supervisor. We will endeavour to address any issues as soon as is reasonably possible. Failure to do so will prejudice a claim irrespective of its merits.
Although all information regarding prices, availability and on-site facilities are correct at the time of going to print, we reserve the right to change any details contained in published information at any time.
Fifty per cent of the total hire price is required as a non-refundable deposit upon booking. The full balance is due two months prior to your arrival. Should your booking commence within two months prior to your arrival then the full amount is required upon booking.
Once we have received your booking, the deposit payment has been received and a
confirmation sent, a contract has been entered into that includes all of the listed conditions.
Payment of all required amounts when they are due is the essence of the contract.
An initial enquiry over the telephone or via email does not constitute a booking. A
booking is firm when full payment of the deposit has been received and confirmed to you in writing.
When you make a booking, you declare that you are over 25 years of age and will be present for the duration of the hire. You have full responsibility for all persons who will use the property during the period booked, and affirm that you have read and fully understood our terms and conditions.
We will not accept bookings on behalf of another individual – for example, a parent hiring on behalf of their teenage child or a member hiring a property for a non-member.

Lovely unique stay,

Staying in the castle was a lovely experience but I wish there were a few more heritage features and a little more time spent on the finer details. Staying at the castle is brilliant but it does mean you’re quite restricted in when you can go out due to the tides and the ferry. Whilst the option to walk across at low tide is there, it’s not always practical with little children, which means your days end around 4, so enjoying an evening meal out isn’t an option. A few added details wouldn’t go amiss, like a reminder of the tide times, especially because it’s not always what is advertised on the website and it’s not easy to remember. Also, a stash of beach toys or similar especially for people travelling from off Jersey who are limited in what they can bring. All the staff were friendly and lovely and welcoming and we had a brilliant stay.

Fantastic stay

We've just returned from a weeks stay at Elizabeth Castle. The accommodation and location were lovely, staff were so helpful and friendly and Jersey was a wonderful place to visit. The kids had a brilliant time exploring the castle, and we loved the whole experience.
Highly recommend.

View All

Sitting one mile off the coast of Jersey’s main town of St Helier, the Elizabeth Castle apartment is in one of Jersey’s most iconic locations and it is surrounded by the sea twice a day!

The apartment, split over two levels, overlooks the parade ground and the Governor’s House at the Castle, where both Sir Walter Raleigh and King Charles II stayed. It has a recently refurbished kitchen and shower room on the lower level. The apartment sleeps up to six people, with a double sofa bed in the living area, and a spacious bedroom with one double and two single beds upstairs.

When the Castle is closed you have the surroundings all to yourself. You can climb the battlements, explore the turrets and bunkers and swim from the Castle’s private beach.

Cut off from the mainland by the tide at least twice a day, ferry transport is only available between spring and autumn, when the Castle is open as a visitor attraction. While it is possible to walk back and forth at low tide, no cars are permitted to drive across the beach to the Castle.

If you would like to book, we strongly suggest speaking to our team first so we can advise you on the tides during your stay and the times it is best to access the apartment. If you are visiting from outside of the Island, we suggest planning your travel arrangements around the tide to ensure swift passage back to shore.
