We just returned from a weekend in Guernsey and stayed at the Fermain Valley Hotel for 2 nights. The hotel is nestled in a small valley with a lovely bay at the bottom of the gardens/valley. The hotel is very clean and comfortable with a modern but homely decor. We were upgraded to a room with views/balacony and the service could not be faulted. The staff were very helpful and attentive. There is an indoor pool and sauna, plus cinema and library/lounges. We ate in the restaurant both nights and enjoyed excellent food at reasonable prices. The hotel is a 5 minute drive to St Peters Port.

A well appointed hotel in a delightful position; the staff unfailingly friendly & helpful. Our room was spacious with a large & luxurious bathroom; the decanter of sherry was a nice touch although I prefer fino to cream! The public rooms include a small library & all have a 'club' feel to them; we particularly appreciated a log fire on a cool autumn evening. The sun terraces, pool & sauna allow for all weathers & the view from all of them, down the valley to the beach, is most attractive.
We enjoyed the food which was well presented & good value; I had to ask for an espresso coffee, but when it arrived it was excellent.
All in all a most enjoyable few days which we would be happy to repeat.

This was our first trip to the Channel Islands from the USA-The Fermain was everything we expected and more. The staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet was outstanding. The extra "big wow" was the complimentary decanter of sherry and Guernsey fudge. I also want mention that the beds were so comfortable and supportive.
My tip for anyone going to Guernsey is to avoid driving if possible-we rented a car and found it pretty stressful to drive on the narrow busy roads. Left-lane driving was a change for us; however, the confusing unmarked roads was the big challenge the first few days.
Guernsey is a beautiful island with a rich interesting history. We found the Fermain Valley Hotel to be a relaxing and rejuvenating refuge after a long day of exploration on this beautiful paradise of cliffs, hydrangeas, and Guernsey cattle filled fields.

This was a lovely hotel, well suited for a long weekend break. Staff were friendly and welcoming and the room was very pleasant, well furnished and equipped. Nice touches - good hairdryer (not fixed to the wall), iron & ironing board, fridge, safe, flat screen TV, bathrobes, sherry, fresh fruit and nice toiletries as standard. We stayed in the main hotel in a gold room (sea view). The only difference between the Gold and the Silver rooms are, I believe, that Gold rooms have a sea view and the Silver rooms face the garden (or the road if you are staying in the upper garden annex building).
Breakfast was very good, as were the evening meals we ate in the brasserie. The library, which had three computers with free internet access, was a welcome bonus on a wet weekend. We did not use the swimming pool or sauna during the weekend but the facilites were inviting and available.
This hotel was well situated for walking the coastal path. We enjoyed our stay and hope to return soon.

I was at Fermain Valley Hotel for a business conference. Despite our hectic schedule I did manage to explore the hotel and surroundings only to find what a gem this one is! Location is awesome. Staff is courteous and very professional. The sea view rooms have a fantastic view of the garden and the sea beyond. The hotel is close to the start of the "cliff walk" which goes all the way to St Peter's Port (around 3km). Very nice restaurant. Will return sometime with my wife to fully enjoy the place

Fermain is absoloutely stunning, in every way. The location and the staff are wonderful They are all so polite and friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The rooms are spacious and spotless with a high level of detail to those things that are so important and make your stay even more enjoyable. we were upgraded from a silver room to gold room as it was a quiet time of year. We had a wonderful view over the terrace and through the trees to the sea. Lovely clean bathroom Food in valley brasserie, just gorgeous. Couldnt fault it and we will be returning.

The hotel is very clean, modern decor, rooms were fine. very 4 star standard. What lifted the hotel was the service, friendly and extremely efficient. The staff are obviously chosen well, trained well and managed well.
On waiting in the lobby to leave the hotel at 7.00am I was offered a coffee while I waited. The coffee was freshly brewed and very much appreciated. I will be spending a considerable amount of time in Guernsey over the next 6 months and the Fermaine Valley hotel will be my preferred destination.

Just returned from a short break at the Fermain Valley Hotel. I am well known for being fussy and am quite often amazed at the lack of standards in some hotels!
This Hotel was one of the best I have ever stayed in!
My husband and I along with a couple of friends, booked a short 2 night break, including flights from Southampton, staying in a Platinum room (Rooms 14 and 12) with one dinner for £244 each! Our room was lovely, very large, and tastefully furnished. Good views towards the sea. Although this was one of the most expensive rooms, I have no doubt that the slightly cheaper gold and silver rooms are of equal quality.
The indoor pool and sauna was a bonus as were the comfortable lounges and library. We also made use of the private cinema on both evenings where we had a good choice of films along with drinks from the bar and even popcorn!
Breakfasts were good, lots of choice and our dinner in the restaurant was excellent.
The staff deserve a special mention as they were all, without exception, fantastic! They were all so genuinely helpful - nothing was too much trouble. This sort of service makes all the difference.
We plan to return again in the Spring!

Fantastic location for this hotel, looking down the wooded valley to the sea and 5 mins drive from St Peter Port. We had admired it on previous visits so were delighted to have the chance to stay there this time. We booked a gold room in The Venue but were lucky enough to get an upgrade to a gold room in the main hotel, which had a balcony overlooking the bay, and it was so quiet and peaceful with no traffic noise. It is on the flightpath for the airport but hey, there aren't than many planes and they are pretty small anyway so it was not a problem. We even got towelling bath robes and slippers to go to and from the pool, or whatever. The room was immaculate and sherry, fudge and fruit awaited on arrival. The fridge was topped up with water every day (and so was the sherry decanter!)
If your room is in The Venue (a separate building fronting the main road out of St Peter Port) suggest you ask for a room on the garden side, which would be quieter, but I would think all rooms are a good standard.
Restaurant service for breakfast and dinner was second to none and the food is really good. All the staff were extremely helpful and couldn't do enough for you.
We would definitely stay again.
