Home description

Before the Second World War there were many holiday bungalows along St Ouen’s Bay, of which The Barge Aground is the only survivor. This quirky 1930's folly is built in the shape of a grounded boat overlooking the wonderful sunsets that dominate summer evenings in St Ouen. The rooms have been restored to their pre-war style but with all the modern convenience you would expect for your stay with us.

A central sitting room welcomes you as you enter the accommodation and immediately transports you back to a less urgent time. Two bedrooms, each containing adult bunks, are situated at the stern end of the Barge, while the kitchen and bathroom are at the prow.

Wooden shutters keep the building cool in hot days and private when required. Restored wooden floors are covered in rugs finishing the overall feel. Double doors give out on to a paved area, ideal for breakfast, lunch or dinner or just to sun yourself surrounded by some of Jersey most striking views. There are steps leading down to the sea wall with a convenient flight of steps to the beach.

The Barge Aground will sleep two couples or a family of four comfortably. It is the perfect accommodation for people wanting good access to St Ouen’s beach and surfing that is renowned throughout Europe. It is also conveniently located close to the wetland area and unspoilt duneland for bird watchers and walkers, a golf course for enthusiasts or simply peaceful if you just want to relax and spoil yourself. A few low steps lead up to the Barge, which is all on one level. The property is adjacent to the sea wall which has a drop down to the beach. Steps down to beach.

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.


St Ouen area

Barge Aground is located on the shore of St Ouen's Bay - an expanse of golden sand exposed to the full force of the Atlantic. These waves make St Ouen's Bay one of the best surfing beaches in Europe. The hinterland, of sand dunes, farmland and St Ouen's Pond - the largest natural freshwater pond in the Island - comprises Jersey's only national park.

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.
