Longueville Manor

Nous avons passé 2 nuits au Manoir pour mon anniversaire et tout était parfait ! Service très attentionné, aimable et professionnel, très beau manoir et superbe jardin. Délicieux petit déjeuner ainsi que le dîner du soir. Un tout petit bémol (mais ce ne sont que des détails) : les toilettes sont dans la salle de bains et une machine Nespresso dans la chambre aurait été un petit plus. Mention spéciale au service, irréprochable !

The staff were very attentive.

This was our 3rd stay at this gem of an Hotel and as before we were very happy staying there. When you think of all the things you want from an hotel, viz; good food, great service, lovely location, building, gardens, rooms, facilities, Longueville Manor has it all. The kitchen garden is full of produce, ready to be turned into delicious meals by the chef and his team. We heard many compliments from diners around us, with some coming from ourselves. Looking forward to going again.

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.

Just returned after a wonderful three night stay in Longueville Manor. From the moment we arrived we felt very welcome and nothing was too much trouble for the friendly staff. We stayed in a Deluxe Room which was nicely decorated with plenty of space. Dinner in the Restaurant was a great experience - only slight fly in the ointment was that the Sommelier disappeared towards the end of our meal leaving the our wine in the bottle on the central table which I ended up fetching myself. This didn't detract from the evening - I just felt a bit embarrassed helping myself as although I knew it was our bottle, I'm sure other diners may have thought otherwise! None the less - happy to give the hotel and it's wonderful staff a five star rating and are grateful to have had opportunity to enjoy our time there.

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!
