La Crête Fort is located on an isolated headland on Jersey’s rugged north coast between Bonne Nuit Harbour and Giffard Bay. It dates back to the 1830s on a site that was first militarised in the16th century. During the German Occupation in the Second World War it was extended as part of the fortification of the Island. Most recently it was the weekend retreat for the Island’s Lieutenant-Governors.

The accommodation comprises a twin bedroom, lounge with double sofa bed and a kitchen on the ground level. A narrow steep flight of stone steps leads to a dining/living area in a large chamber with an unusual vaulted granite ceiling. The shower room and toilet are on the same level as the bedrooms. The property also comprises exterior areas including a large gun platform jutting out to the tip of the promontory.

The backdrop to the front is the steep, rugged cliffs of Jersey’s dramatic north coast with sea views from the gun platform at the rear to the Paternoster Reef, Sark and the distant coast of France. Giffard Bay to the east is a secluded rocky and pebble covered bay, popular with local bathers and occasional surfers. To the west lies the picturesque port of Bonne Nuit. Access is via a narrow, winding unsealed road. The nearest neighbours are the Cheval Roc Hotel and adjacent private houses some distance away at the beginning of the track.

The property is isolated on Jersey’s North Coast cliffpath route, is a secure retreat with undoubtedly some of the best views in the Channel Islands.
