This last visit was our second visit and it was even better than out first. The staff were exceptionally obliging and helpful, particularly with my wife's diet for medical reasons. The room we stayed in was roomy and beautifully placed to look down the valley towards the sea, with the island of Sark in the background. The courtesy car service into St Peter Port was prompt and efficient. Dining on the terrace or in the Ocean Restaurant was very pleasant and the waiting staff were well trained and pleasant.

Stayed in a Gold room within the main hotel (Terrace on 1st floor). The rooms are generally on the small size with limited storage space for clothes or longer than a night or 2. On site staff were extremely helpful, whether this be room service, bar, restaurant or front desk. Ate one night in their new Mexican Restaurant - would NOT recommend it. Poor staff attitude
In hot weather it might be nice to have the swimming pool open on to the deck, albeit this would have to be limited to hotel guests only

Everything was perfect in this charming hotel. Staff were unobtrusively friendly and professional and Operations Manager Daniel was really helpful & knowledgeable about the island, especially good places to eat, but you don't really need to leave the hotel since their Ocean restaurant and Rock Garden steakhouse serve up excellent food in a great ambience, plus they have a delightful tea room where the scones are superb! Breakfast was good, with plenty of choice to suit a range of tastes.
Rooms aren't big but they are spotless and there is a charming little library tucked away behind the tea room where you can relax with after dinner drinks.
Fermain Bay at the end of a short walk though hotel gardens is gorgeous though the beach is stony. There is a bus stop at the top of the road 5 mins away where you can catch the 91/92 bus which goes right around the island and is a great way to get a feel for the delights Guernsey has to offer - well worth the meagre £1 fare!
A real plus is the complimentary shuttle bus which picked us up from the ferry and left us back, and you can also book it to drop you into St Peter Port, though there is a great bus service too.

My husband and I stayed for 2 nights. Our room was lovely, but small. Sweet double doors to a small terrace where we took our breakfast each morning. As breakfast was included in our room charge, we asked that it be brought up (5 pound charge-reasonable). Just hang the sign on the door before bed and your breakfast arrives at your scheduled time with very friendly service. The bed was a bit hard for me but better than being too soft. Room was made up daily.
The front desk personnel could not be more helpful. Each and every one went out of his or her way to be accommodating and interested in our well being. Karol even drove us to the airport when the hotel van was not available.
The grounds are lovely, there are small, out of the way places to sit and take in the trees and sky and the view of the water in the distance. The pool is very interesting, open to the air one side, yet still indoors.
Just a short walk down a very steep hill (and don't forget you have to walk back up) is the most beautiful beach with a café. Unbelievably surprising to come upon it, a bit of heaven.
We ate at two of the restaurants. One outside and the steakhouse inside. Both were very good, lovely and happy servers. Good food, presentation and value. We don't usually eat at hotels but we were very happy with these choices.

Bathroom was a little 'tired' and in need of updating, but the room was pleasant. Staff were accommodating. Dined in the rock garden and the ocean restaurant and both were of a good standard. Grounds were very interesting and well kept.
The front of the hotel is a court area and as such noise coming from guests seated at the tables outside the bar area and the sound of vehicles arriving was amplified. Therefore do not expect a night of unbroken sleep.
Overall, a better than average long weekend and would consider returning here again in the future.

This hotel has a complementary service to drop off and pick up from the local town. Has some great restaurants and friendly staff, probably needs some aircon during this hotel summer. Has a great outside area for drinks and food overlooking the sea view. We swam in their indoor pool which was lovely.

3 couples in our group stayed in this lovely hotel, in a beautiful setting, wander through the gardens, down to the cove, relax on the terrace or in a beautifully decorate room. This small hotel has everything you need for your stay on Guernsey, Courtsey car Damien drove us a couple of times and was excellent , nothing was too much for him, (you will need to book this as it gets very booked up, especially on a Sunday when everything else shuts down and the local taxis are busy) there is a bus around the island or into St Peters Port at the top of the road, very convenient. It is also just a 15 min drive from the airport. We ate in the Ocean Bar Grill, once for an evening meal which was really very good, for breakfast, again really nice and then late afternoon on the terrace before leaving again very good. The service is top notch, polite, friendly and not at all pretentious. I would highly recommend this hotel if you are looking for central location away from the hustle and bustle of the town.

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.
