Seymour Tower sits two miles offshore on one of the largest inter-tidal reefs in the world. Built as part of Jersey’s costal defences, this square tower dates from the 18th century.

The isolated location means access is dependent on tidal conditions and all guests must be accompanied by an accredited Seymour Tower guide. Seymour Tower is only available to rent when the tide allows safe and manageable access on foot.

The accommodation in this coastal tower is spread over two floors. Solar panels on the roof generate enough power for lighting and a fridge. A gas stove for cooking, basic crockery and cutlery are provided. Bunk beds accommodate seven  guests (sleeping bags not provided). Seymour Tower has no running water, but drinking water is provided along with logs for the wood burning stove. Seymour Tower is perfect for anyone wanting an adventure. Use it as a base for low water fishing, guided walks at low tide, bird watching and fishing.

Guests must be accompanied by an accredited Seymour Tower Guide (more information available from Jersey Heritage) who will guide your trip to and from the tower and stay with you overnight. Guests must carry all of their food, clothes and sleeping bags out to the tower for their stay. In addition all waste (including bagged toilet waste) will need to be brought back and disposed of on shore.

Can accommodate up to seven  guests on bunks with additional sleeping area for the Seymour Tower guide. Please note the tower is only available to rent when tidal conditions allow and guests are limited to one overnight stay.

Costs to stay at Seymour Tower are  £350, this price includes exclusive use of a guide which is essential when visiting the Tower this is for a 24 hour period.
