Bridge in Jersey, the Ambassadeur Hotel

Join us for a relaxing bridge holiday on the beautiful Channel Island of Jersey. We visit in September when you can expect a pleasant climate and limited rainfall on the island.

The welcoming Hotel Ambassadeur in St Clement, on the south east coast of Jersey, is an ideal choice for a bridge holiday, providing a charming mix of comfort, convenience and great hospitality. It is perfectly located with one of the most beautiful beaches on its doorstep and you can enjoy some of the finest sea views in Jersey from its terraces. This delightful hotel has been welcoming tourists and locals alike for over 20 years and offers very good dining and service, making it a firm favourite and highly rated with Trip Advisor reviewers. The delightful Peintman Suite is also the perfect location for our evenings of Bridge.

The island capital, St Helier, which is only 2 miles away, is served by frequent buses which depart from directly outside your hotel. The Samaares Manor with its beautiful gardens, and Le Hocq Tower are all within walking distance, or how about taking a “duck boat” to Elizabeth Castle?

Including a full day guided island coach tour:

Departing St Helier, the full day tour visits St Aubin’s Bay, St Brelade Bay, Corbière Lighthouse, St Ouen’s Bay, Grève De Lecq, the northern coastline, Gorey Harbour and returning via the varied and rugged east coast.

Driving along the coast road you will have the perfect view of the Island’s picturesque beaches and bays. Beaches in Jersey range from isolated coves to wide golden sandy beaches on the south and west coasts. Some of our roads are quite narrow but are no problem for our accomplished drivers.

Make sure you have your camera to hand as we will be stopping for photo opportunities along the way and also for refreshments where you can sample what the Island has to offer (including St Brelade’s Bay). St Brelade’s Bay is a popular beach, loved by visitors for its golden sands and safe swimming, beach cafes and restaurants. At the end of the Five Mile Road in Jersey’s coastal parish of St Ouen you will visit the famous Jersey Pearl Centre showcasing a large collection of pearl jewellery.

What to expect from this Bridge holiday::
Make your own way to Jersey airport or port (if travelling by foot on ferry), where transfers will be included on our specific arrival and departure dates.

At the start of your Bridge holiday you’ll be invited to join our Bridge director and host for a welcome meeting in the hotel. Any single travellers will have the opportunity to find a partner for the Bridge room.

Our Bridge programmes will vary according to the length of your break, and, in addition to playing Bridge, we try to include interesting Bridge seminars, hosted by our Bridge Directors.

Your duplicate Bridge will be available every evening between 7.45pm and 11.15pm* and we endeavour to vary these evening sessions, balancing between teams and pairs, with at least one Swiss style event during a two-week Bridge break.

Bridge will also be offered some afternoons between 2.30pm and 4.45pm. These sessions are normally given over to open pairs/teams. We may also hold some sessions in the morning, depending on interest.

During your Bridge holiday nothing is obligatory, and you can play in as many, or as few, Bridge sessions as you wish. We don’t forget you are on holiday and our Bridge programmes also allow time to relax and the opportunity for you to explore the surrounding area.

*Please note: There is no Bridge on the final evening of this Bridge holiday.
