The Uplands was the ‘family seat’ for centuries of a branch of the Le Geyt's (a family of Norman descent). Still represented in the Island, albeit in distant branches, they were a leading political family between the years 1676 to 1747, when the States and Royal Court, in the absence of a Bailiff in the Island, were presided over by the two Lieutenant-Bailiffs Le Geyt, both of the name Philippe. The first of these proved to have been one of the Island’s greatest jurists.
The Jersey Pink Granite farm buildings have many tradional features. On the main house of Uplands Farm, situated close by the hotel bar, can be seen an external traditional Jersey round arch doorway, albeit in this instance carefully relocated by a few feet when the house was extended. This is complete with chamfering and contemporary engraving of the keystone. In the hotel garden area you will find a traditional Jersey ‘Apple Crusher’ often referred to by locals as a cider press.
The Uplands was initially a working farm and was converted first into a guesthouse and then, over a number of years, evolved into the hotel that you see today. The Mallett family first developed and ran an hotel on the site and the Morvan family acquired the hotel in 1987 and hold the ownership of the hotel to the present day. The hotel has seen continuous investment and refurbishment each year in its bedrooms and facilities including the twelve self-catering apartments which were built in 1997 and are among the best accommodation of their type in Jersey. The hotel and apartments can now accommodate 121 resident adults.
