Chestnut Cottage is a detached one bedroom cottage located on a quiet lane on a wooded hillside just five minutes walk from the beautiful Bouley Bay on the north coast. The rear of the cottage, the decked balcony and the stone paved patio overlook the owners' pretty woodland garden.
There is direct access to the north coast cliff path walks - east to Rozel Bay and west to Bonne Nuit Bay. There are restaurants and beach kiosks/tea rooms at all of these bays and Bouley Bay is the islands' Scuba Diving centre and a starting point for Kayak tours and guided walks. The world famous Jersey Zoo at Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust is in this area and also the Eric Young Orchid Foundation.
Children of all ages welcome.
This property does not allow pets.

The first hill climb was held in 1920 when the road surface was concrete and the club had just been formed. The idyllic setting on Jersey’s north coast, with the French coastline visible on a clear day is unsurpassed for its atmosphere and spectacle in British hill climbing. The original course was 1065 yards in length but this was reduced to the current 1011 in 1949. Demanding, technical and challenging are just a few of the descriptions used by the UK competitors who visit each year for the British National Hill climb championship. Unlike many UK events the JMC & LCC hill climbs are open to all types of machinery from cars to sidecars and motorbikes to karts - all are welcome to entertain the crowds. With its mixture of blind bends through high banked tree lined corners to the tight hairpins towards the top, Bouley Bay has everything to challenge the best in the business. For spectators the high banks above the top half of the hill are a natural amphitheatre looking down the hill as the competitors race up.
