    Christmas Review

    We had a fantastic stay and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The location was wonderful and we enjoyed the dramatic weather. Chris was very helpful and efficient. He was also very knowledgeable about the castle. The kitchen was well equipped and we enjoyed watching a few episodes of Bergerac.

    Elizabeth Castle

    Stayed for 2 nights in October, great location for peace and quiet. Really enjoyed exploring the castle after everyone else had gone home. Would recommend it especially if you have children to play hide and seek

    Fantastic place for relaxing holiday

    As above great place to stay for tranquillity. why does the review need more information than this?

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.
