Escape to Jersey for an indulgent break over Valentine's
Old stones, modern comforts and 14th century splendour make Jersey’s Longueville Manor a dream getaway: perfectly inviting for a romantic indulgence over Valentine’s, or a treat any time you fancy. In a secluded location on the edge of St Saviour, Longueville is immediately captivating from the moment you arrive. Attention to detail, fine food and wine and exemplary understated service are just a few of its hallmarks.
Because two nights are never quite enough, the Indulgent Break, priced from £440 (2 sharing), includes three nights’ accommodation in a luxury double room. Champagne on arrival, a group one hire car for the duration, full English breakfast each day, one traditional afternoon tea and one à la carte dinner are also included and executive head chef Andrew Baird will give you with a personally signed copy of his book, Recipes from the Sea, as an attractive memento designed for the home cook to recreate the taste of Jersey.
Explore Jersey’s hidden treasures and rich heritage by day, and discover its natural beauty on magical moonlit walks. The island’s association with the naturalist Gerald Durrell and his conservation work lives on at Durrell Wildlife Park where you will meet Badongo, Longueville’s adopted silverback gorilla. Alternatively, enjoy the comfort of Longueville Manor, relaxing by an open fire with a good book and an occasional stroll in the gardens. Their lawns, fountains and pretty wooden bridges are just right for Valentine’s.
The Indulgent Break is valid from January 17 to March 31 2013 and the price quoted is based on two sharing for a minimum of two nights, subject to availability. A 10% discount is offered if payment is made in full at the time of booking bringing the price down to just £66 pppn.
