Home description

During the German Occupation of Jersey in the Second World War, three huge observation towers were built as part of Hitler’s Atlantic Wall defences, comprising 15,000 structures stretching from Norway to the Loire. Their purpose was to direct artillery fire against targets out to sea. One of these, La Corbière Radio Tower, is available as accommodation for the first time.

Constructed from more than 5,000 bags of cement this is a truly imposing site from both land and sea. Its location commands excellent views over Jersey, the Bay of St Malo and more closely, Corbière Lighthouse which stands on a outcrop of granite rocks just offshore. The lighthouse was once manned but is now fully automated. You can walk there along a causeway at low tide.

The Jersey region

The Channel Islands are magical islands in the Bay of St Malo and at the closest point Jersey is just 14 miles from the French coast. Warmed by the waters of the Gulf Stream, spring arrives early and summer lingers on. The weather here consistently tops the UK resort charts for sunshine hours and temperature.

Jersey well known for its magnificent sandy beaches, rugged cliffs, sheltered coves and crystal clear waters. Inland, winding, shaded lanes take you through wooded valleys and patchwork countryside.


La Corbiere area

Corbière is the extreme south west tip of Jersey with a rugged coastline and dramatic views out to sea and over St Ouen's Bay. Jersey is thoroughly British but with a distinct French flavour. Although firecely loyal to the Crown for more than 800 years, the French influence lingers on in local surnames and place and street names. The capital St Helier is packed with continental style bistros, restaurants and pavement cafes.

You do not need a passport to visit the Channel Islands unless you intend taking a day trip to France which is a short hop away by sea or air. You will need proof of identity for flights and sea travel to the Island. There is a reciprocal health care agreement with the UK. As on the UK mainland the currency is sterling but Euros are accepted in many shops and other outlets.

There is plenty to do in the Island from guided walks to a visit to one of the Jersey Heritage Trust's six historic sites, Durrell or the Jersey War Tunnels. Day excursions can also be made to the other islands.

Further details indoors:
From the tower’s rather functional beginning comes accommodation that is unique to Jersey. The tower has six floors with one small room on each floor, but the climb to the top room is more than worth the effort. The look-out centre that once was the heart of the tower’s activity now offers a jaw-dropping 360 degrees view that must be seen to be believed, converted into a stunning living area that is as quirky as it is spectacular.

Two shower rooms (with WC), a kitchen and three adult bunk bed bedrooms have been made out of the six rooms that lead the way up to the tower centre. With a double garage adjoining the building you can use your own car or choose to take advantage of the buses. It is perfectly situated for cliff walking, watching passing boats, beaches and bird watching but is close to main roads leading to restaurants and beaches.
