A friend and I went on a week-long WW2 history walking tour of the west and south coasts of Jersey and this was our first stay at The Panorama, St Aubin (Est. 1977). We were warmly welcomed by the hard-working lovely owner Jill and her friendly daughter Anita, who arranged wonderful cooked breakfasts for us - perfect for a long day's 8-10 miles walking: Anita even went out of her way to source me a fine vegan breakfast everyday - the vegan cheese on toast, avo, mushrooms and vine tomatoes were truly amazing! The serving staff were all friendly, polite and professional. After a long day's walking, the complimentary tea/coffee and picnic kit was a nice touch. The hotel is classic, relaxed, quiet, very smart and homely - the panoramic view from the garden over the golden sands of St Aubin's Bay to St Helier is breath-taking - it just so happened that we were there for the Jersey International Air Display and we had a grandstand view throughout. We had single front bedrooms - they were small but quiet, cosy and very clean. When we went in September 2023, it was very sunny, hot and humid, requiring 2 showers a day, but the spotless shower and modern facilities proved a great relief! The hotel is in an amazing location - a private flight of steps means the beach and main road is just one minute away and for a small end of the bay, it has everything: at least 4 pubs, a mini-Morrisons, Indian, Thai, Greek, Italian and pizza restaurants, plus good bus connections (15 minutes to the airport or St Helier - you can get a 7-day all-island bus pass for £35). Everyone we met in the hotel and on the island, in shops, even the bus drivers (!) were polite, friendly and helpful. The only thing I will say about Jersey is that it is not cheap - think central London prices (pint = £6.75, single brandy = £9.90 (!), main course = £25.00 etc) so in 7 days it cost the best part of £1,000. But you do get quality. Anyway, our big thanks to Jill, John, Anita and Emma for our luxurious stay - we will be back. Austin and Andy. PS: Check out their amazing huge collection of novelty teapots!
