Stayed here (again) for a short break on the Island and enjoyed every minute of the stay here. The hotel is in a great location with views across the gardens to the sea which makes for a very relaxing place to spend some time. Our platinum room was large and comfortable and very well maintained. Staff were all very friendly and the service efficient throughout our stay. Breakfasts in the ocean restaurant were tasty and well cooked with plenty of options available although it would have been nice to have been able to sit outside as it was certainly warm enough to have done so. Gardens were lovely (if a little more weedy this time than on previous visits) and full of flower. Overall a great place to stay and I am sure we will be back - using the discount/upgrade voucher that we were given at checkout which is a nice touch.

We stayed recently to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary, having stayed here for our 30th and at the original Fermain Hotel for our honeymoon. It was lovely to be back. We booked a gold room and had room 30, spacious, spotlessly clean, comfortable, lovely views over the valley and beautiful toiletries in the bathroom.
We ate in each of the restaurants. Buho was lovely, a bit noisy as our table was next to a large corporate table, but service was good and food was some of the best Mexican food we have had. The Ocean Greek Eats was great for breakfast, good choice and quality of the food. Most of our dinner was good apart from my steak which was pretty tough. Our dinner in Rock Garden was very good, best steak ever and great service, although we were glad we had a table at the side as it was quite noisy.
Staff were all excellent, friendly and attentive and we were delighted to be able to get courtesy lifts to and from the airport. Love the location of the hotel, delightful walk down to Fermain Bay, easy to get into town by local bus or by walking.
Would certainly stay here again if returning to Guernsey.

I stayed at the Fermain Valley Hotel for the August bank holiday and can highly recommend the property. The views of the bay (which is within 5 minutes walking distance from the hotel) are beautiful and the garden resembles a tropical oasis. The rooms are tidy and spacious. The breakfast choice is varied and you can select from an a-la-carte menu. The hotel also offers a complimentary transfer service (between airport-hotel-port area) but it is usually booked out and so I could never take advantage of it. So unless you prebook it, you do not get it.

We recently spent a week here in a Platinum room. The room was clean, well appointed and quiet. Overall the hotel presents well in a gorgeous, leafy but steep valley overlooking the sea to the east. Regular buses are available on the road just up the hill. The hotel offers 3 restaurant options (Greek, grill and Mexican) plus a small tea room on site. Ten minutes walk down the valley is a small beach with an independent cafe. Ten minutes on the bus will take you to St Peter Port with many dining and tour options.
The best thing about this hotel is the service. Nothing was too much trouble, dietary issues and special requests were expertly catered for, shuttle transport was freely available, and all was offered with a smile and good humour. Many well known "5 Star" brands could learn a lot from this excellent hotel. We were sad to leave!
Perhaps the only negative was that the hotel lies on the flight path for the airport. However the airport is not too busy and has a night curfew, so sleep is very peaceful.

Booked this hotel for our anniversary weekend. As we expected our room, view, food and service were awesome. Hotel is situated near fermain Bay and the location is calm, private and serene. Special thanks to Cristina at the reception - who guided us perfectly and with great gesture.

Stopped in this hotel a week, from start to finish excellent, we got picked up from the airport by the hotel which is only 10 minutes away.
The hotel looks clean well maintained , got to our room and there was a dozen red roses with a card as it was our 25th wedding anniversary.
The bedroom very clean, sherry in the room had a sea view.
Breakfast was the best i have had in any hotel that i have stopped in, the staff all very friendly and go out of the way if you want anything.
On our anniversary we ate in the Rock and was given a glass of bubbly on arrival and a cheesecake with anniversary on the plate.
The whole week was just perfect that near the bus stops that go all over the island or just walk in to the town, will be going back there next time.
The only slight fault was in the restaurant i wanted a childs meal as was not that hungry , and was told that it was not possible , which i cant see what difference it makes to them.

Pleasant hotel set in lovely surroundings on a peaceful island.
Staff are friendly, welcoming and helpful, ready to cater for your every need.
Rooms are well equipped, clean and nicely maintained. Many complimentary added extras help make for a very enjoyable stay. Be aware though, rooms above the Rock Garden Steakhouse may be noisey at nights!.
Ocean Greek Eats restaurant is a peaceful dining environment, food is very good, both in quality and quantity. 2 x other restaurants are available on site but didn't try those.
Overall a very pleasant stay, would highly recommend, as long as you accept that Guernsey is a very beautiful island, somewhat exclusive and depending upon choice, can come at a price.
Final word of interest, I believe the hotel is currently up for sale, so things may be different in the future???

We really enjoyed our stay. Our room while a little on the small side was spotlessly clean, the decor was really nice and the balcony was a great size with excellent views. There is still and sparkling water in the room along with tea/coffee & lovely biscuits. The only real negatives are that the room doesn’t have air-conditioning or a mini fridge.
We had dinner in Ocean restaurant which was lovely, the bar staff made excellent cocktails and the breakfast choices were great and all freshly cooked. There are also two other restaurants to choose from.
It is set in beautifully landscaped gardens plenty of places to sit and relax and a direct path down to a lovely little bay with the beach and the beach café.
There is a small indoor pool and a sauna.
The parking situation isn’t ideal as there is limited parking And hotel guests do not get any priority over the parking.
I do however highly recommend this hotel and will definitely be returning next year.

A friend and I spent 3 days at Fermain Valley Hotel in October and can not praise the hotel enough.
I’m not usually one to leave reviews, but we both were so impressed with the service, location and the thoughtful touches that I wanted to leave a note to say thank you and recommend anyone stay here when visiting the island.
It’s close to town yet sufficiently far enough away to feel like you’re getting away from it all. Free shuttle service to town (and because we came out of season your driver kindly took us and picked us up from a wedding!); lovely, spacious room (we loved the decanter of sherry - nice touch); comfortable beds; great choice of food at breakfast; and a good array of restaurants on-site too. Friendly, helpful staff (a lady on reception even lent me her hair straighteners when I was panicking about my wedding hair!), and in a lovely setting just up the hill (short walk) from Fermain Bay. You all went the extra mile during our short stay - and we so appreciated it.
Summer no doubt gets much busier, so I wouldn’t expect such a level of attention then that we received, but I have no doubt anyone staying there - whatever season - would feel impressed. Thanks!
