We had a fabulous cream tea here and a couple of drink on the patio overlooking the sea.
It is a beautiful hotel and he staff are friendly, welcoming and helpful.
My parents stayed at this hotel 54 years ago when it was La Favorita so it was great to find it and be able to take them back there for a visit.
Lovely hotel in a quiet area. Would stay here if I go back to Guernsey!

Second visit and we were even more impressed than the first visit! The staff were absolutely impeccable, from the moment we called and made a reservation to when we left. Food was delicious. Certainly will be back. Thank you

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for 4 days and we had a fabulous time. Danial on the front desk was very helpful. The ocean staff were brilliant very friendly.
Our room was really nice with a lovely view. It was my husbands birthday while we where there and he received a card and champagne at breakfast. lovely touch.
Thank you fermain valley for a lovely stay and we most definitely will be back.

Interested to re visit this place after 7 years
Quite a lot has changed; terrace seating at front entrance, Tea Shop and 2 new lively restaurants
I booked two platinum rooms having previously stayed in gold
Arriving on a saturday i was immediately hit by the noise if the place. In the early evening of the first night some drunken ladies decided to turn on some music on their iphone and sing along with the music on the terrace directly opposite the platinum rooms
The next night a new group of younger woman found it amusing to wave at me looking out of the window
A neighbour decided to blast music so loud i thought initially it was an outside PA delivering it
All calmed down a bit after that until the following Saturday when i literally had to wait to the early hours to get any sleep; taxi after taxi , conversation after conversation in the main courtyard just rattled on. A couple in a neighbouring room with a balcony decided to have a loud conversation .
The evening was ended off nicely with the night porter kicking someone out of the premises; presumably from the bar
The platinum rooms themselves were lovely but extremely variable. Some on the upper floor had balconies ; unfortunately ours didn't and was sandwiched between two that did; so we were free to enjoy the neighbours noise.
My mother had a room downstairs which was far grander and double the size but was even closer to the terrace. Non had air con which i think would help with keeping windows closed and noise insulation.
Breakfasts were definitely improved since my earlier visit with better choice and quality
The ocean restaurant was nice but food a bit variable as was the service
Overall seeing that we hired 2 rooms for a week there was no real recognition that we weren't at any time just staying over night . You never felt anyone was actually managing the hotel or coordinating guests and checking on well being
2 staff members shone out the waitress with red hair at breakfast who was there every morning and the french lady at reception. Other that it felt very take it or leave it

We were on honeymoon. Hotel aware, received a congrats card, but that`s it. Did ask the hotel for a bottle of champagne in room on arrival-no show. I upgraded to a Platinum room prior to arrival. Given room 28, no balcony, basically used to be an attic room converted to a large room, with a skylight, and small opening windows with a view of the front of the hotel, valley, and sea. Shower over bath useful if you were a 3`6"midget. The room on arrival had three green apples and two biscuits as complimentary plus sherry decanter. Large bed/sky TV. Had meal in restaurant first night - partners meal totally wrong-had to go back-so I had eaten mine before hers came. Staff offered us free desert to compensate, however still charged on the bill. Meals weren`t that great. Breakfast is much better, although even then cooked breakfast came out wrongly 1 day. Has a nice small pool - beware of weekend parties with kids, pool is taken over. Bottom line would we stay here again....no. We enjoyed our honeymoon on the island, but we didn`t feel special at this hotel.

Had a good stay here on business, the desk and stool in my room weren't conducive for working though.
Be careful not to book one of the rooms up the hill at 'The Venue' as they are above a Mexican restaurant and there is some noise with people leaving.

Really good hotel with excellent views from the main building (annex has good accommodation but not the views). Breakfast was excellent; huge variety, good quality pleasant setting. Recommended hotel.

We booked this hotel for our Coral Wedding Anniversary. As it was our anniversary, we decided to book one of the platinum rooms. On arrival we were met by a very pleasant lady at reception who outlined the hotels amenities and who then took us to our room. We were somewhat surprised to discover no air conditioning , three tiny green apples plonked on a plate and two chocolate buttons wrapped in selophane with a green bow and the previous occupants welcome letter! Not quite what we expected for platinum service and £230 a night!
On the plus side the staff were all very obliging, even the young girl who agreed to clean our room by 3pm as it had not been cleaned when we returned at 2.30, and the young man who presented my sparkling water and lime in a jam jar!!!
Seriously though, the staff were great and the food was exceptional pity it was under the flight path.

We stayed two night in two different rooms. The first one was very fine but the second one (37) was at the end of the corridor with an unpleasant noise during the whole night.
The service quality on the beatiful terace is unbearable.
Staff was helpful but we didn't like hearing from a driver of the Hotel that Madeira is much better...

This is the main restaurant of the Fermain Vally hotel. It was evening. The restaurant is OK, but lacks "soul". As does the adjoining bar. Food is OK. In the daytime/early evening, I suspect the ability to dine outside in their lovely terrace, with medium distance sea views above the lower valley trees, would be better. I find their sister restaurant (The Rock Garden) in the same building to have a better atmosphere. Try that first.
