Well appointed hotel with good facilities. Our family had a platinum room and a silver twin room for the boys. To be honest there wasn't much difference apart from the size and view. The rooms were clean, airy but I do think as a bit of feedback some luxuries which should have been there were missing, for example the pillows were very cheap and very uncomfortable. I would have expected a decent pillow for the price of the room.
On the plus side all the staff were brilliant, the two men (?duty managers) on reception were excellent, very helpful.
Breakfast good, the rock garden better than ocean for evening meals.
I would recommend the walk from the hotel to St Peter Port along the cliff, it was also brilliant that the hotel will send a car to pick you up!
Great location, would recommend the hotel!

Very nice hotel - some staff are great some are very rude and forget orders! Amazing location food is great but very noisy at night took me ages to go to sleep. Pool Is lovely very hit and pick the right time because it's quite small and can get very busy . Service isn't great but on the whole it was a nit a bad hotel !

We stayed at the hotel for our wedding anniversary and, in the main, enjoyed it very much. I have to say that we were very disappointed to find that the dinner set menu in the Ocean restaurant was the same on each of the 3 nights, especially that even the soup course was not changed from cauliflower soup, not a particularly good choice at the best of times.

It's not often you can review a hotel stay so positively! Had a really great time here. Superbly situated. Everything is catered for. Very clean. It looks like it has been renovated over the last few years, don't know, but it is stylish. Used the Rock Garden, did have a problem, which was put right straight away. The Ocean restaurant - can't fault it. Great breakfast, lovely food, but it is the staff that make it great. They are all so friendly, and it seems genuine! Our room (Gold) was great - if anything, it was too warm. Never thought we'd say that! Disturbed the sleep a little. The hotel is under the flight path, and flights start early, but you get used to that, Fab hot bathroom radiator with fluffy towels and robes. Gorgeous. Lovely view to the sea. One tree in particular could do with felling, if allowed, to enhance the view. Lovely outdoor space, for when it's warmer, pretty gardens. Loads of tables and chairs outside. Don't really need to go anywhere else. Did not use the pool, but it looked lovely, and beautifully clean. The Tea Room is a delight, with fab cakes baked by their pastry chef, there is a gorgeous quiet relaxing lounge and library too! Will be back. Loved it.

Second visit here, in a relatively short space of time, just to make sure the first experience wasn't a "fluke".... It wasn't, it's still brilliant.
This hotel was a wonderful find and I now won't stay anywhere else when visiting Guernsey.
Room was amazing, so spacious, and immaculate. Amazing views of the valley and sea. Food was cooked to perfection and obviously presented with pride and passion.
The staff are excellent, relaxed yet so efficient and friendly.
If you are visiting Guernsey and are looking for a place to stay, stay here. You won't regret it.

We were met at the airport by our transfer the driver very informative and helpful. Not far from airport hotel in beautiful setting. Hotel very nice our garden room was well decorated ,spacious with nice little extras included. Pleasant views down the valley to the sea. Staff very helpful breakfasts good plenty of choice. We ate at night in the Ocean restaurant food apart from our last night was really nice. The special menu was good value. Wine choices very good. Tearoom lots and lots of yummy cakes. Library a nice change to get away for piece & quiet. We used indoor pool and sauna. Pool a bit chilly though. The walk down to Fermain Bay ooh not for the unfit we did it though. They had a Easter Egg hunt for the children, which they thoroughly enjoyed. A nice relaxing break helped by extremely attentive hotel staff. Thank you Fermain.

We stayed in a platinum double room with two extra beds for the kids. Upon arrival, room was ready and waiting for us (not always the case when asking for extra beds!).
Room very well appointed - clean, fresh, light, bright and very spacious. Only small gripe was bathroom in the eaves and so no full height shower over bath. No balcony in our room but fabulous view of the sea. Nice turndown service available free of charge in evenings.
Food absolutely delicious - breakfast mixture of continental buffet and a la carte hot food. Word of warning - both restaurants seem very popular with visitors and locals alike so book in advance! That said, the hotel set up a special table for us in the bar when we couldn't get a reservation one eve - gorgeous meal!
Swimming pool small but perfect for a quick dip.
Main car park cosy and road down to hotel was challenging with a larger vehicle and limited experience of Guernsey roads. But it is fine to park in the car park at the top of the hill and walk through the gardens to the hotel.
Free courtesy car lifts into town wonderful. Also a cliff top walk from hotel down to town which is beautiful - ask for directions and then phone courtesy car for return back up.
Nothing was too much for the staff. When our ferry was cancelled due to bad weather, the hotel immediately shifted things around so we could stay an extra night in the same room.
Wonderful stay, would recommend without hesitation.

This is the best hotel we have stayed in. The hotel was spotless, the staff friendly, helpful, and so welcoming. The view from our balcony was amazing and the fruit and sherry in the room a nice touch. We ate at the Rock Garden - the best steak ever, and the Ocean Restaurant where the set menu was excellent value and first class food and service. It was refreshing to have a freshly cooked breakfast every morning rather than the usual help yourself variety. Jeanne the receptionist was superb, very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. She offered to print out our boarding passes without being asked and arranged our taxi for our early morning flight. We intend to return for a longer stay. Cannot recommend Fermain Valley Hotel highly enough.

We were met at the airport by the hotel curtsey car. A speedy checkin. Our room was lovely, it was very large, and had all you could want. There was fresh fruit, chocolates and a decanter of sherry and a local daily paper as standard. The room was at the back and overlooked the gardens. The terrace over looked the valley,
Breakfast was a selection of cereals, fruit, pastries as well as cooked. The evening meal was very good with a nice selection.The staff were so helpful , nothing was too much trouble.
It was easy to get into St Peter port with the hotel driver, who would pick you up at a arranged time or you could phone when you were ready.
Great tearoom with delicious scones and cream.
Very easy to book on the phone as the hotel did everything, Great that free wifi in all areas.

Stayed at the Fermain Valley Hotel for a six night break in March 2016.
The Hotel is absolutely exceptional in all aspects.
The room was light, very clean, well decorated and had all the luxury touches you would expect.
The staff were the most helpful/ cheerful & friendly I have ever encountered in a hotel.
The food was excellent - especially at the Rock Garden.
Overall, one of the very best on the Channel Islands.
Thoroughly recommend.

In a stunning location overlooking a wooded valley and the sea at Fermain Bay. The room (10) was spacious, clean and comfortable with a double aspect overlooking the sea in one direction but without a balcony but in March this was not a problem. We ate in both restaurants - the steak in the Rock Garden was very good but the desserts a little uninspiring. However, the food in the Ocean Restaurant, where we ate twice, was superb. The staff were all very friendly, welcoming and efficient. They arranged car hire for us at a very competitive rate and the car was delivered to the hotel.

We last visited this hotel in 1968 when it was called The Favorita.
Going back this time brought back many happy memories. The hotel is still special but has been updated to a
modern boutique hotel with an excellent chef. The staff were friendly, polite and extremely welcoming.
Our room had a wonderful view of the valley down to Fermain Bay and had everything to make our stay enjoyable.
Look forward to visiting the island again.

We stayed three nights in this wonderful hotel, our platinum room was fabulously well appointed and the views down the valley out to sea were a delight to wake up to each day.
We ate two nights in the hotel, once on the main restaurant, and the second in the Rock Garden Steak House were we had just the best Chateau Briande.
Each day the breakfast was fantastic.
The only criticism woould be that the indoor pool was very cold, the staff said they had a problem with it when we arrived but that it was fixed and the pool temperature was gradually rising, baring this in mind we left it to our final day for a swim, but alas the water was vladivostock! One also needs to ask the staff to turn the sauna on if you wish to use it..
There is a good coastal walk which takes you into St.Peters Port, and the hotel run a shuttle service which was great as my legs were a bit tired to walk back 🙂
My vacation was the most memorable and romantic as my partner proposed to me on
the beach!
I am sure this will become one of our all time favourite places.

We rebooked here as previous stays always wowed us. Needless to say this stay exceeded all previous expectations. We were initially welcomed wonderfully by Jeanne (friendly / superb / delightful). Blown away by the 'gift of kindness' gesture which so made the start to a super break. Cannot fault here. I'd mistakenly booked a room different than our previous one, but without fuss they changed. Happy days. Usual sherry , apples extras in room, fridge water, always nice touch. They offered welcome drink & happy to deliver ice bucket & flutes to room. Top service. Love the pool as ever. Seamless service (with the rock garden) to arrange oysters for us & confirm dinner reservation. Atmosphere always relaxed welcoming unlike other hotels on the island. Nothing is a problem attitude. Ordered breakfast late with a few tweaks & boy would return here for this alone ~ egg white omelette & mushrooms supreme. As a local, it speaks volumes to stay here overnight when I live 10 minutes away :))

What a find..... Great feeling from the minute we arrived. Staff couldn't be more helpful, great breakfasts, warm pool for the kids, our platinum room was perfect with 2 camp beds for the little ones and a balcony with sea views. We had a private screening in the on site cinema, free lifts to and from town, an almost private beach with cafe at the bottom of the hill and a cracking restaurant adjacent to the hotel. If you are planning on a short break to Guernsey we can't recommend this hotel highly enough. Will certainly return....

Had an excellent weekend, staff could not be more helpful, watched the 6 nations match on the big screen in the cinema, pool was beautiful, food was excellent, room was beautiful, just too hot, will certainly stay again.

Stayed for two nights with a deal on flights and accommodation including a bottle of prosecco. The Hotel arranged a free airport transfer and when we arrive the Reception staff were very welcoming and friendly.
The hotel offers free shuttle transfers into St. Peter's port which I used several times.
The hotel has two restaurant which looked lovely but I did not eat at them because I had restaurants booked before I arrived.
The bar has very knowledgable and fun staff.
The hotel is in a beautiful location and the views down the valley are amazing, even in gloomy February. Highly recommend the hotel and I would stay there again.

A glorious hotel. The staff were caring and went above and beyond the call of duty to make us feel welcome. Our rooms were stylish, comfortable and best of all for me (a light sleeper) dark and quiet at night. The complementary sherry and chocolates were a treat and really made us feel extra fancy.
We enjoyed the restaurant immensely! I will definitely be coming back.

In so many ways, this is finest class hotel we have stayed in Guernsey. Booking the hotel and travel through Blue Island Air is simple and efficient. Once you land, you are met by a hotel car and chauffeur. Reception is so friendly, the bar and restaurants all comfortable and high quality. The rooms [over time we have had a balcony room for summer visits, a different one in the winter] are splendidly furnished, even to the point of having a decanter of sherry as well as fruit provided. The location of the hotel is to the south of St Peter Port, away from any evening noise of town yet close enough for a gentle stroll along the coast if you wish or the use of the hotel car if you prefer. Your also have a spa, swimming pool and delightful terraced gardens looking down to the sea, We visit Guernsey regularly and this is now our first choice of hotels

Beautiful hotel with lovely, caring & helpful staff. Food in both restaurants excellent. Silver room delightful. Having a car available to take you places was a bonus, we used it for a shopping trip into town & again to go into town for dinner on Saturday night, Mario the driver was very friendly & helpful. Very relaxing & restful stay. Thank you Fermain Valley Hotel X

This is very short and sweet as everything was perfect! The room amazing, clean, cozy, stylish. Complimentary sherry, chocolates and the normal tea and coffee but also amazing ground coffee. The view from my balcony was amazing (room 36) the room was silent all night and pitch black. The evening half board was beautiful and the surroundings lovely. Breakfast was fast and good. Only thing was the bacon was overcooked so did resemble card board but that is a very minor point. You can have breakfast in your room with no room service charge, which is fantastic. Big soft towels and robe for you in the bathroom and beautiful toiletries and shower. The staff were so helpful and friendly. All round 10/10 and that was without even a visit to the pool ❤️

All of the staff are very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The food is great. The rooms are lovely and all the little touches make it a special place to stay. Good location just outside of the town. The hotels complimentary driver will take you to various locations and the local bus service is great for getting round the island
