Kempt Tower
12 AdultsKempt Tower in St Ouen’s Bay on the west coast of the Island was built in 1834 as a defensive tower against possible French invasion. Constructed with Jersey granite, the ground floor was used to store weapons and ammunition whilst the upper floor housed ten troops and their commanding officer.
A cannon was fixed to a rotating platform on the roof. It is a Martello Tower and the only one of its kind surviving in Jersey. The Tower has been sensitively restored to create a stunning, unique self-catering property for up to 12 guests.
The basement houses a fully appointed kitchen and shower rooms. The middle floor is a spacious and comfortable contemporary reception and sleeping area, beds separated by screens, with an open fire. The easily accessed roof provides a unique view of the sweeping bay of St. Ouen and is the perfect spot to enjoy evening drinks, dinner or a barbecue as the sunsets.
The Tower sleeps up to 12 guests and is available for rent throughout the year. Parking is available close by.
Children of all ages welcome.
Dogs allowed. £10 per dog per night, up to a maximum of £50 per dog, per stay. When booking, please include number of dogs in the Special Request section.

Customer Comments
"Kempt Tower is a truly unique holiday let located in the grassy dunes of St Ouen; an area of outstanding natural beauty and a stones throw from the beach. Close to National Trust Wetlands and surf schools this is the perfect property for both nature lovers and the adventurous."
"After a glorious sunny days at the beach, walking the sand dunes or exploring the island, we enjoyed drinks on the roof terrace watching breath-taking sunsets. Winter evenings would be just as relaxing on the comfy sofas infront of a wood burning stove. Certainly different but worth a visit."
"A truly unique experience to be shared with family and friends."
“We would highly recommend it for families or a group of adults…. a truly wonderful experience which will not be forgotten.”
“The tower is beautifully renovated so you can see the amazing stonework of the vaulted ceiling.”
