This granite farm cottage, La Ferme du Vau Tocque, parts of which date from the 17th century, was sympathetically and lovingly renovated by the present owners and is equipped to the highest of standards. The cottage retains its original granite fireplaces, charm and character. Standing in its own grounds of over an acre, it borders Ouaisne Common, one of Jersey's best known open spaces and a conservation area.

La Ferme du Vau Tocque offers peace and tranquillity close to a beautiful and safe sandy beach. There is no traffic apart from that of two neighbours. It has a patio with table and chairs and a cobbled courtyard. There is a large grassed play area for children and a raised garden with sun loungers. The approach to the cottage is along a gravelled track which is not suitable for low slung sports cars.

Access to the beach is across the Common and the beach is reached without crossing a public road. There are lovely walks along the beach, over the cliffs and across the Common. A well-known local pub on Ouaisne Hill is 450yds away and shops are within 5 minutes drive. There are water sports and numerous cafes and restaurants in St Brelade's Bay which is adjacent to Ouaisne and these 2 bays are linked at low tide.

This cottage is extremely popular with our guests and early booking is essential.

"Location, location, location! If its tranquil beach side living you’re after then La Ferme du Vau Tocque on the South West coast of Jersey is the perfect family getaway.  A stone’s throw from the beach, this restored farm cottage in over an acre of grounds, nestles in an idyllic position on Ouaisne Common far from the hustle and bustle of life.  We absolutely loved Ouaisne and staying in this beautiful cottage in a such a fabulous location was unforgettable. Highly recommended, but book early - this place books out fast!" N. family UK
