  • Merton Hotel, Jersey
    Centrally located in St Helier near the Jersey Arts Centre is the resort-style Merton Hotel.
  • La Rocco Tower
    The need for strong coastal defences around Jersey, only 14 miles from the coast of France, led Governor General Sir Henry Seymour Conway to build 30 towers around the island. La Rocco is the most impressive still standing which can be explored independently on your holiday.
  • Picturesque St Helier
    St Helier, in St Aubin’s Bay is Jersey’s capital and has British ambience tinged with distinct French and Portuguese influences. It is also home to several fascinating historic harbours.
  • The hotel's cosy bedrooms
    The well-equipped bedrooms at the Merton Hotel are just the job to relax in after a busy day, perhaps enjoy a meal at one of the hotel’s restaurants or visit one of the three bars.
  • The lovely Jersey coastline
    Jersey’s position, 100 miles from the south coast of England and 14 miles from the Normandy coast of France, gives it all the benefits of a holiday abroad. The stunning coastline and miles of long sandy beaches, along with the temperate climate, make it an idyllic holiday destination.
