MOREL FARM

In a previous article about Morel Farm, the beautiful farmhouse and range of outbuildings gifted to the National Trust by Arthur Morel in 1939, we posed the following question; “imagine waking up in a delightful bedroom in an historic early 18th century farmhouse, surrounded by lovingly restored antique furniture and paintings and perhaps even a traditional Jersey press in which to store your clothes.”

Well this imagining is now nearing reality as the main house, the ‘Bake House’ and the outbuilding known colloquially as ‘The Chapel’ have been refurbished and furnished with beautiful furniture repurposed and repaired from our store as a result of a fiscal stimulus grant from the Government of Jersey.

With almost one-third of the island’s population living in an urban environment, a stay at Morel Farm would be a peaceful escape. For others, time away from home would be in a unique farm stay vacation. Rural but not remote and of course visitors to the Island can enjoy a wonderful rustic experience in a stunning old farmstead.

We will be opening Morel Farm to our members and the general public at an ‘open day’ on Saturday 22nd April. Time slot ‘tickets’ are available on: www.nationaltrust.je/events
