I have been coming to Guernsey for years and absolutely love this island. This was my first stay at the Fermain Valley Hotel and I must say that I loved everything about it. I had a fantastic view from my balcony, very good food in its various restaurants, including an excellent afternoon tea on the terrace. The pool was quite warm but large enough to actually swim. The location of the hotel is great, giving you access to the best cliff walks, beautiful bays and gardens and a bus stop around the corner to get you into town in a few minutes. That is if you do not want to use the hotel's driver which is an excellent service.
All staff have been friendly and helpful, travelling on my own I have never felt out of place here which I have at other hotels. I will definitely return next year, miss it already.

My room was clean, comfortable bed, fresh fruit, Tea and coffee facilities. There are 3 restaurants and the Breakfast is excellent a very good selection of food and drink. The gardens are beautiful to walk through to get the bus. The Hotel has a complimentary mini bus that will pick you up and drop off at Airport and Town. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I had 6 lovely holiday days there.

A superb hotel as long as you are NOT in the annex! The annex is over 300 paces and a few minutes walk uphill from reception and the main hotel. The main hotel has the best rooms as they have the views over the lovely gardens and cove.
The annex is situated by the main road, so you get the noise from the road.
The hotel should be called the Fermain AND Valley hotel as the hotel and annex could easily be two separate hotels.
I stayed for a few days and thought the staff were very nice, the food was really good and the situation was lovely,
There is a short walk down to the cove where there a excellent cafe restaurant.
If I had stayed in the main hotel my review rating would have been a 4.

Fermain Valley Hotel is on the east coast of the island towards the south, a few miles from St Peterport.
It's a very good hotel in a beautiful location with an indoor swimming pool and beautiful gardens rolling down towards the Fermain Bay Beach.
It has two restaurants and a tea room. The Rock Garden restaurant is a steak house type eatery which also provided vegetarian food. It has its own bar as does the Ocean Restaurant.
The Ocean Restaurant is also good with a good selection of meals and daily specials and both restaurants are popular with both residents and locals, so it may be advisable to book ahead for your meal. Food portions are generous in both restaurants. In the right weather, meals can be taken outside. Breakfast is good.
I'd advise checking to see if either of the restaurants is open on specific days. There are a number of good eating establishments in St Peterport too.
A lift is available for those needing it and the hotel operates a courtesy bus service.
The hotel has it's own parking with additional parking at its sister venue at the top of the hill
Service was very good and staff were helpful and friendly.
Bedrooms are restful and well equipped. They are cleaned and replenished daily. Rooms are not overly large but are perfectly adequate. Our room had a balcony and those rooms below us had bigger balconies. We had an excellent view down the valley to the sea.
Because of the recent hot spell our room did get hot and remained so during the day. It could probably benefit from a small quiet Dyson Noiseless fan or an Aircool 24 silent air conditioning box (suggested to hotel).
Apart from that we had a great stay and would definitely stay here again.

Stayed 5 nights and really enjoyed our third visit to the hotel. Will return next year or in 2020. Terraces, gardens, views and three restaurants on site and walkable to St Peter Port make the hotel a good choice for exploring the island.

We have been coming to Guernsey now to see family for the past 22 years, this is our regular hotel and never have we ever been disappointed. Although we stay here often, I just want to comment on our last minute stay we had. There was an incident one year at a different hotel of which was closer to family so we thought it would be easier, we ended up not being able to stay here so we went to the Fermain to see if there were any rooms available, although there was no room available for a full week, the staff pulled together different rooms that we could stay in throughout the week and worked their hardest to accommodate us. We ended up staying in every single room possible in the hotel, it was amazing, I can tell you that every room was spectacular, i will never be able to say a bad word about this hotel nor the staff. Always above and beyond.

This is one if the best if not the best hotel I have ever stayed in. Beautiful setting and location. Staff are extremely pleasant and helpful. General manager Karol is absolutely fantastic and a credit to the hotel. Nothing was a problem for him. Will hopefully visit again one day. Unfortunately I was there for work but was still a great experience.

The room initially seemed nice from the outset. A few hairs in the bath on arrival and the odd cob web here and there in the room, but nothing that couldn't be over looked.
Sleep was kept to a minimum as this was possibly the noisiest room I have ever slept in. The fire door double slammed everytime it shut and the bed headboard shook with vibrations everytime the stairs were in use. For this inconvenience I was discounted ten percent off my bill, which still seemed steep considering.
The pool didn't match the expectations set from the pictures. Full of kids jumping and splashing in what seemed the worlds smallest pool. Definitely not a pool for a relaxing swim.
Personally I feel the hotel lacked something. Trying to be something it's not. Even little things like not having sky sports in the room left me disappointed. Next time I'm in Guernsey I'll most likely be giving this place a miss.

We have just returned from a short break of 3 nights the hotel was very nice in some respects but fell short in others.One recommendation is to book directly with the hotel rather than a 3rd party then you will know if your room is in the main hotel or up the lane above the Mexican restaurant.We paid an extra £40 a night to stay in the main hotel and have a balcony (lovely views).One thing to be aware of if leaving the windows open as we did as it was quite warm expect to be woken by the planes coming in to land from 6.30am onwards.A few other small disappointing things like a hole in the bed sheet,left the duvet pulled back expecting it to be replaced but it wasn't,and extractor not working or ineffective in the bathroom.Other than that nice hotel with a nice walk down to the cove at the bottom of the hill.

Lovely room, great food, smashing staff - what more could you ask for!
A big plus that we were able to request the courtesy car on several occasions and were never disappointed - thank you so much!
The beach was stunning - you can walk down but maybe request a lift back up the very steep road.
Great breakfast with good choices from the menu.
The negative - one robe in the bathroom was soiled - my opinion was that someone had worn it but it hadn't been changed when the room was cleaned for the next guests. Also remnants of blood stains on one bath towel. Perhaps needs a bit more attention from the cleaning staff.
Would I return - yes, I definitely would.
