string(1773) "Arrival day
The transfer for all guests from Jersey Airport to your hotel is included in the price of your holiday. Upon arrival at Jersey airport, exit through security into the Arrival Halls and make your way to the “Tantivy” desk and give them your name. They will direct you to the next available transfer coach to the Somerville Hotel. The transfer by coach to your hotel takes approximately 15 minutes.
Our "with flight" package includes return flights from London. We can also book flights from Newcastle/Teeside/Isle of Man/Glasgow/Southampton on request.
Departure day
We will arrange for you to be taken back to the airport to catch your flight.
At least 8 weeks before your holiday start date, please contact us on 020 8732 1250 or e-mail reservations@hfholidays.co.uk with your travel plans and expected time of arrival and departure. If you will not be using our transfers, please let us know.
By fast ferry
Condor Ferries operate services between Poole in Dorset and St Helier (sometimes with a stop in Guernsey). After disembarking, you can then either take a taxi to the hotel or travel by bus from St Helier’s Liberation Station, which is about a 10 minute walk from the ferry terminal. Bus routes 8 (all year) and 28 (June to September) both stop at Greenhills. The stop reference number for Greenhills is 2729. Then a 5 minute uphill walk to the hotel. For more details visit the very useful Liberty bus website: www.libertybus.je. Tantivy also transfer guests in connection with ferry arrivals but transfer from the ferry port is not included in your holiday price.
