we had a platinum room in the main hotel which was spacious and welcoming. There were bathrobes, toiletries and sherry. The bowl of fruit was a nice touch. The location was lovely with a short woodland walk to the beach and easy access to St Peter Port harbour via local buses although the hotel was great about organising transport. Everyone was pleasant and the breakfasts were plentiful and nicely cooked. The Ocean restaurant had a good menu and the meal was fine. The only downside of the whole experience was that people would wait in the carpark below our room, for taxis and to smoke. We had the windows open as it was so hot so the smoke drifted into our room and the loud conversations of the people waiting meant no sleep before midnight. This was not the fault of the hotel though, but ask for a back room if you want quiet. All in all a very pleasant trip. Thanks to Gavin and the staff.

We spent only 2 nights in this hotel.
The best for us was :
-Breakfast : differents and great choices, pancakes tasted amazingly good, nice service
-"Shuttle" to town : very very helpful !
-The location : on a beautiful Valley, near a Bay and a View Point. Bus station is near the hotel, so it is very convenient.
I won't write more about it, it was really good overall, it was clean, nice staff even though the "check-in" was made very quickly... I would have prefered to have more information about the location or the hotel because it was our first time in Guernsey.
I recommend :)

I have stayed here twice a year for the last 5 years or so.
It has just undergone a wonderful refurbishment and everything looks even newer than it already did.
I had a 'Gold' room and it looked over beautiful woodland with the sea beyond. The gardens are immaculate and worth a wander in themselves.
I went fro a run from the hotel and the road down to the beach and paths along the cliffs are a delight.
The bed is so comfortable. My only complaint was the fan did not work in the bathroom leaving it very hot and stuffy (the only reason for not giving the fifth star).
The breakfast is first class. Plenty of fruit and yoghurt with the usual hot choices available.
I checked out this morning and realised I had left my phone charger in the room. I called reception from the office in the main town and they delivered it to me!! How's that for service.
For me this is the only hotel worth staying in on the island!

We had a lovely holiday at this hotel. The staff were very helpful and couldn't do enough to make our stay memorable. We were picked up from the Airport on time by the courtesy transport which was available when required during our stay. The bus service was very convenient from just outside the hotel. The Gold room was lovely although slightly smaller than expected, but then we were only there in the evenings,so this did not really matter.We had bath Robes and slippers supplied,and everything you would require in the bathroom in the way of toiletries.The fruit and sherry was a lovely touch,and the Tea/coffee was replenished every day. The room was cleaned extremely well every day and we had a nice balcony overlooking the terraces and the sea. All in all we could not fault this hotel and would return again without any hesitation.I would like to say a big Thank you to Robert Steen for a very well run hotel and also to Gavin on the reception and Nick the transport driver and wish them all well for a very successful season.

Absolutely fab; the staff were without exception very friendly, very helpful and very obliging....nothing seemed to be too much trouble. The Manager himself was very hands on, welcoming and very friendly and you can see where the influence on the exceptional staff attitude comes from. Courtesy pick from airport, delicious dinner and wonderful breakfast. Rooms were clean, very light and airy and the balcony overlooking the valley and sea was a wonderful early evening setting for an early evening tipple of complimentary sherry before dinner. Great nearby walks (very steep in places and all the steps are definitely not for the faint hearted!) and some wonderful sketching opportunities. All in all a wonderful weekend! Can't really comment on the Fitness Centre or Spa as I didn't use it at all....way too many other outdoor things to do and see!

I spent 4 nights here and it was great. We stayed in rooms in the annex which was fine. Rooms were well-equipped, very clean. Staff was great, particularly Viera at reception. The breakfast was included. They offered a range of cold and hot dishes, so there was something there for everyone. Wait staff couldn't have been nicer. We used their shuttle service to take us into St. Peter Port our first day and from then on used the bus which stopped right outside the hotel. The gardens were beautiful; very peaceful.

I discovered the joy of a stay at the Fermain in February of this year, so when I was planning a 'me time' treat, had no hesitation in booking a return visit. There have been some changes to the Restaurants, and therefore I felt compelled to try them both........and enjoyed both very much indeed.
Staff were great, room was super - no balcony, but terrific views. When the sun was shining, there were a number of sunspots on the terrace, so great to sit out with a book and a drink. Also made use of the small pool - maybe the water was a little too warm for me, but thats just a personal opinion.
Took advantage of the Courtesy Bus into town on Liberation Day (May 9th), and although i made the return journey on foot (I will admit to catching the bus from Town to the top of the hill....), it was good to know that all I needed to do was to ring the hotel and arrange for a pick up time.
Looking forward to my next visit already.

Set in a beautiful gardens on the top of a valley leading, quite a significant way, eventually to a pretty but pebble beach. The hike back up is a good work out before dinner !!! Staff were very helpful though I couldn't quite work out what one had to do to get the Fermain Valley car to take you either to or from the airport. Bit odd to be told that the car didn't operate before 0800.. thereby missing the first two main LGW commuter jets out of Guernsey. Originally given an annex. Paid the supplement and took a gold room that had a great view in the main building. Rock gardens restaurant was recommended by others but I was told that Monday, like most restaurants in Guernsey it was closed. Odd.. it was a Bank Holiday and one would have thought that it might have been considered peak. However, the other main restaurant was excellent despite the fact that the decor was a tad leather and RR Diner.. Sea Food and the Service was excellent. Rooms were cosy. Easy to navigate though could not switch TV off properly. Probably more silly me !! Indoor pool was noted but not used. Great for a quick stop over.. possibly more of a winter hideaway option !!

We had a lovely stay at the Fermain Valley hotel in the Venue family room overlooking the beautiful garden. It is a modern newly decorated room and bathroom with beautiful views over the valley to the sea. It was a quiet room. The service was amazing. All of the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Breakfast was lovely in their beautiful dining room. I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. The walk through the flower garden is great. Five minutes drive from St Peter Port. Brilliant location.
I would never fly with Flybe to Guernsey again as they cancelled our 8pm flight (apparently Flybe very regularly cancel flights to/from Guernsey at the last minute as they're the only Guernsey airline that can't land in fog) and the hotel very kindly found us another room for the night at the last minute. Blue Islands/Aurigny are much better airlines for Guernsey.

We stayed here for a weekend on a staycation. We were dismayed to find that both the restaurants were closed and part of the hotel was under refurbishment. This we found out when we checked in. It meant that we had to trek up the hill for dinner at The Venue, which was fine but it's not what we actually came for. The room was lovely though. Nicely appointed, large and with a little balcony and sea view. We had breakfast delivered on both mornings - also fine but not spectacular. It was nice to be so close to Fermain bay and on both days we took a walk down to the café. I would recommend the hotel, especially for it's location and view but I was disappointed with our stay.
