Longueville Manor

From the moment you turn into the drive and look at the carefully manicured colourful gardens and the wonderful old Manor House, you know you have arrived somewhere incredibly special. As your car rolls to a halt by the front door, one of the beautifully attired doormen, Brian or Ben, great you with a smile, (and by the second time you see them, like long lost friends!) We were shown to our suite on the top floor with a view across the gardens. The finish of the room is exquisite, beautiful, tastefully decorated to the highest standards. A huge bed, a seating area, a dining area, fabulous toiletries. I could go on…and on. My mother-in-law, who stayed in the hotel with us described one of the waiters at breakfast as like a ballet dancer. Finesse, style, beauty, elegance – all just serving a plate of food to a table. I’ve never thought of a restaurant as like ballet but at Longueville it’s a very appropriate description. We had the pleasure of enjoying the Tasting Menu. Course after course of, well, frankly, art. Food (much of which is proudly grown in the extensive gardens and green houses) that was fabulously presented, that challenged your palette, combined with incredible paired wines. Talking of wines, Longueville has the most immense wine list, and indeed one of the most fabulous physical wine cellars that I have seen anywhere in the world outside of the Grand Cru vineyards of Bordeaux. I can’t recommend enough, finding time to just gaze into the wine cellar, I would also very much recommend trusting the incredibly knowledgeable sommeliers with your wine choices. They have an immense selection of wine by the glass – and I tasted a whole myriad of amazing wines I wouldn’t have chosen on my own. This review wouldn’t be complete without mentioning the house cocktail, served inside a stack of ‘books’ – open the lid and enjoy the oak smoke used to infuse the drink. Great theatre, great taste. You get the impression that everyone at Longueville wants your stay and your time on this wonderful island to be truly memorable. The hotel industry is truly global, but to be absolutely world class takes something very special, and that’s what Longueville does - from the beautiful historic Manor House to the wonderful service, Longueville is truly world class.

We have just returned home from the most wonderful 3 night stay. This was only our second visit but we were welcomed back like family. Without question the best aspect of Longueville Manor is it’s staff who genuinely care about their guests. A supremely comfortable hotel in every way. A fantastic restaurant and menu and a great bar. We would not stay in any other hotel in Jersey and are already planning our next visit. Thank you to all at Longueville.

Our 23rd visit to the best hotel in Jersey. From the usual warm greeting through to the cheery daily conversations with house-keeping, the hotel and its team are a delight. The recently decorated Drawing Room is much improved and affords a feeling of warmth, coupled with style. The 'Omero' Pinot Noir was delightful. We'll be back soon!

We had an amazing 3 night stay here in February, it was truly a 5 star experience. All the staff were amazing and special thanks for Emmanuelle on reception, Luca in the restaurant, and Brian and Benson, who seemed to be omnipresent. Everything about our stay was amazing, room, breakfast, restaurant, service, drinks, all of it. We felt like a member of the family rather than a guest. If only the hotel could have controlled the weather, but it was February :-)

Wonderful service, food and accommodation. Our room was delightful, looked over the manicured gardens. Lovely Gaia products in bathroom, and fresh fruit and home made biscuits on arrival. Brian was very pleasant and made sure we were settled in. Dinner was very tasty. The drink service a little slow but didn’t spoil our evening. Breakfast choice very satisfying followed by a nice walk round the gardens. Will definitely go again.

I had a wonderful afternoon with two friends and our 3 baby’s who are all 13 months old. The staff were amazing and so accommodating, making sure we were all having a lovely time and, even entertaining our toddlers. Highly recommend to anyone that loves an afternoon tea to visit as the food was absolutely delish on top of the fantastic staff.
