We took advantage of a special offer through Blue Islands which included flights, two nights accommodation and airport transfers, which was very good value. Everything went perfectly and we thoroughly enjoyed our short trip. The hotel is situated in one of the nicest parts of Guernsey with lovely walks into St Peter Port. We upgraded to a Platinum room which was huge, very comfortable, with lovely views over the valley. It was very quiet at the Hotel during our time which suited us perfectly. We had the pool all to ourselves. Their cinema is free of charge to guests and you can either choose one of their dvds or provide your own and they even supply free popcorn! We ate both nights at the Rock Restaurant which was lovely. The staff at the hotel and in the restaurant were brillilant and we would not hesitate to recommend this place.

We stayed at the Fermain Valley on the weekend of 1st -3rd March 2013.
The room was a silvet room and was located up a short hill through the gardens, we were not told this when we booked but luckily although the weather was cold it was not raining, or it would have been a pain.
The staff were lovely and very helpful, the indoor pool looked good but the water was not very warm, the sauna did not get hot and there was no hot water in the changing rooms or the showers.
The breakfast was really tasty and the meal in the evening was very good.

We booked in for long weekend based on the travel agents recommendation. The hotel is very comfotable, we had a room with a balcony, included nice touches like sherry, water, slippers and bathrobes in the room. Very helpful friendly staff. The food was good especially in the Rock Garden. Will definately stay again.

We stayed in Fermain Valley Hotel for 2 nights - our room was simply stunning (room 14 which is a platinum grade room) with a beautiful view of Fermain Bay. Highlights included a sumptuous afternoon tea, fresh delicious breakfasts, a knockout gourmet lunch and wonderful dinners. We were unable to finish any meal, due to the generous portion size. Hotel is about 10/15 mins from the airport and we found out after is located on the 7/7A bus route if you have the need for it. The hotel has 2 restaurants to choose from - The Valley Restaurant (where breakfast is served, and lunch and lounge food are available from) and The Rock Garden, which is also a cocktail bar, and seems very popular with Guernsey residents. We also had treatments at the hotel (reflexology and sports massage with Georgie Ede-Golightly and we both would highly recommend) The staff were very accommodating and friendly. There is a lovely personal touch to the hotel, it's clean, fresh and cosy - and a real treat to be looked after so well. The real gem of this hotel is its manager, Mr Robert Steen, who takes such pride in the hotel, its staff and its amenities. We witnessed him going out of his way to make people feel welcome and comfortable - it's obvious to see his commitment to excellence. We very much look forward to returning to this hotel and wish them continued success for the future.

We have just spent a wonderful 2 night, 3 day stay at the Fermaine Valley Hotel on one of their away deals with flights from Jersey included for only £99. The staff were very friendly, and the hotel, we updated to a gold room, at only a small extra charge of £10. pp. was excellent value, we even had our room re-serviced and beds turned down again each evening. As it was our wedding anniversary we ate one night in the Rock Garden Restaurant, again the service, and food was excellent. If you want to spoil yourselves, or just get away for a relaxing break, this is just the place. We will definately go again. As the weather was reasonable we were able to get out and about so we did not use the facilities, so I am unable to rate them.

We stayed here overnight and had a really great stay. The welcome was excellent and the person on reception explained what the hotel had too offer. We had a really nice room with a balcony which unfortunately we were not able to take advantage of due to the weather. Had a pre dinner drink in the Rock Garden cocktail bar fooled by an excellent meal. Overall a very pleasant stay.

Just visited and had a fab time, all staff very attentive and helpful from Rob the Manager, Tom the barman, down to the waiters and cleaners. Stayed with Quidsin promotion and it was exceptional value for money. Everything about it was first class, from the personalised welcoming letter, complimentary fruit , sherry & chocolate in the room, clean tidy and comfortable room with good bath and shower, to the Rock Garden themed bar where we had a lovely cocktail per dinner, to the wonderful three course dinner. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit and shall definitely return.

Had a fabulous weekend March 8th ~ 9th.All the staff were attentive and very pleasant ~ our room had a sea view and balcony and was superb as was the rest of the hotel ~ Robert the Manager is a real hands on Manager, he was always chatty and smiley and although busy made a point of having a few words each time he saw you. We would certainly like to return when we have the time.Ideal place for walkers or just to chill out and enjoy the hotel facilities ( see web site for more on hotel facilities )There is also an added bonus of the use of the courtesy bus when available.
Thank you all for making our stay memorable

This is a lovely, well-run and convenient hotel. The room and the bars, restaurant and food were excellent. The staff were friendly and helpful and service was, in the main, smart.
The question to be asked, though, is whether the Channel Islands now offer such good value for money. Flights are not cheap, good hotels and restaurants are 'upper quartile' in UK terms, taxis are more expensive than in London, car hire (certainly with Europcar) was a rip-off because we were charged a daily rate for petrol such that we would have needed to drive all day everyday to use it all and with no refund on unused fuel - and on our recent trips the weather has been no different from in England. Gone are the days of bargain flights, cheaper drinks and the real duty-free experience. For what this three-night break cost, we could have had several nights in a good hotel in warm sunshine much further south.
