Stayed 4 nights and can thoroughly recommend hotel: great location, superb views and very helpful reception staff. Gold room in venue was very comfortable, quiet and well equipped. Don't know what the decanter of sherry is about? Fridge with complimentary still and sparkling water, tea and coffee facilities well stocked.Great views down valley. Breakfast service good, tho don't know why they don't leave cafetiere of coffee to save having to keep asking for refills. Courtesy minibus is very useful: we used it to and from airport and drop off in St. Peter's Port. Had dinner in hotel one night but would not recommend it - there are far more interesting places in St Peter's Port. Swimming pool is added bonus on 1 wet day there were only us in it: lovely! Only 1 complaint: fire alarm went off at 8.00 a.m. and frankly response was a mess - no-one seemed to know what to do or take roll call: wouldn't like to be there in real emergency!

Fermain Valley hotel snuggles in a small picturesque valley in the south west of the island. Unfortunately it is aligned with the easterly approach to the airport and so suffers from intermittent aircraft noise from early in the morning.
Our 'platinum' room was very spacious and well furnished, but as it faced the front of the hotel also experienced some traffic noise from both trade suppliers and arriving guests. The room is restricted to single glazing, apparently for historical reasons. We were surprised to find a broken and non-closing window, which in the increasing wind, blew open on several occasions. It was fixed efficiently although rather later than we would have preferred.
The restaurant provided a reasonable standard of food, although our table reservations were misplaced on two occasions. One evening meal was spoiled by the very slow service.
So overall we were disappointed. Our experience tends us to think that there is need for a general improvement in managerial oversight and efficiency. Until then we would avoid returning to what should be a very pleasant hotel.

A 4 stars hotel which is very elegant without any snobish attitude, with a very young and charming staff, elegant bedrooms, impeccable cleanliness... and amazing site in front of the sea. 2 restaurants (one looking like a lounge club) with very good meals, not too expensive.
Little inside warmed swiming pool and sauna, several quiet lounges and library, courtesy minibus... and private cinema room, ...so Fermain Valley Hotel is a perfect base for discovering the Saint Peter country!

We stayed here aftter Bray Beach Hotel, Alderney as part of a 5 night two centre holiday. Like its sister hotel Fermain Valley offers guests a welcoming and comfortable stay in a beautifully restored accomodation. Our room (12), was spacious and well presented with a beautiful down the valley to the sea and Jersey beyond. A lovely 2-3 mile along the coast path takes you to St Peter Port.
The staff are friendly and helpful and the minibus service to town is very useful.
The food was of generally good quality and reasonably priced. We didn't have time to visit the pool or cinema.

We have just returned after spending a week at the Fermain Valley Hotel in Guernsey. This is a super hotel just outside town and with superb sea views. The hotel is maintained in excellent condition and has great facilties including a nice indoor pool and sauna. We had a great room with balcony and sea view. The food at the hotel was really good and there is a choice of two restaurants, which are different in nature but both serving great food.However, the hotel'smain asset is its staff. Starting from Robert, the manager, right through all staff were excellent, and really made our stay pleasurable. There is even a private cinema if the weather is not good. All in all I would find this hotel difficult to fault and would recommend to anyone visit the island.

We spent an idyllic 3 days at the Fermain Valley. A lovely room overlooking the sea with a huge, comfortable bed. A sherry decanter in the room was a lovely idea and we did have a glass or two on the hotel. We will definitely return

We spent our honeymoon in Guernsey in 1973, returned there for our silver wedding 25 years later and most recently celebrated our ruby wedding there. We had previously stayed at Le Chalet hotel and were initially disappointed at not being able to go back there because of its current refurbishment. The Fermain Valley, however, proved to be an excellent choice. Our room, a gold double, was comfortably furnished and spotlessly clean, had a balcony with stunning views over the valley and out to sea, a well-stocked hospitality tray and a selection of Elemis products in the bathroom. The photo of a gold room on the website had led us to expect slightly more space. The hotel facilities were excellent: a choice of lounges and restaurants, library and pool all appreciated. The staff were cheerful and enthusiastic but, and this our only gripe, seemed to lack training which led to some overly long waits in the restaurant, either between courses or for something as simple as a coffee cup to be refilled at breakfast. Perhaps this issue will be addressed as the season progresses.

We went with the Reddingtons party for Pete's 65th birthday bash. The hotel was in a brilliant location overlooking the sea, with lovely terraces to laze around on, and enjoy the service / food quality. We were well looked after by the friendly staff. Our flight was cancelled and we returned to Fermain where we were well looked after again. Love the cocktails and tappas in the Rock Garden.Highly recommend this hotel.
