We chose this hotel as an option to staying in St Peter Port itself : it is located in a beautiful valley leading ( quite steeply ) down to Fermain beach and is about 10 minutes from the town. The platinum rooms are lovely, large and well furnished with views over the valley. The hotel is in very good condition and keep very clean and there are spacious outside seating and eating areas. The staff are quite delightful, helpful and clearly well-trained : there is also a shuttle that can take you on short journeys and the bus GBP 1.50 per trip ) stops at the top of the road. The food in the hotel's restaurants is good although we did not like the Mexican Buho which we found too cafeteria-like and quite noisy.

Enjoyed a one night ‘staycation’, excellent experience throughout our short stay. Handpicked are doing a great job since acquiring it to upgrade it a notch, with delightful and efficient staff, lovely ambiance throughout and the decking and furniture enable you to make the most of the wonderful valley and sea views whilst on the generally sheltered eastern coast.
We eat in the Rock Garden which was good, if a little expensive for what it is. Breakfast on the outside deck was a delight (friendly service, a good buffet and cooked options).
We enjoyed a spacious platinum room, great view, but no balcony (14), would possible have been better in a gold room (smaller) but with balcony as we had much wasted space. Furnishings and equipment were to a very good standard throughout.

Fermain Valley is exceptional! This was our second visit to a Handpicked hotel, and it didn’t disappoint. The rooms are comfortable with stunning views. The staff is outstanding—friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful, making our stay feel extra special. The food is delicious & the atmosphere is welcoming. A top choice for a memorable stay in Guernsey.

Absolutely phenomenal! The menu is set out so you can choose either a larger meal or a selection of small plates which are equally delicious! Our server was Akshay and he was polite and helpful. Food was divine and beautiful view of the bay. Will absolutely return and highly reccomend!!

What a lovely hotel! What made it so good was the staff. They are brilliant, couldn’t be more helpful and so attentive without being intrusive.
The food was delicious, the breakfasts in particular are amazing! Such a fantastic choice.
Somewhere I’d be eager to return to.

Not a lot more to say! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Fermain valley and , given it was a treat for a special birthday, the staff beforehand were really helpful in assisting me to get what I wanted , even when there was a last minute change of dates. Impressive service. And good old fashioned service was present throughout. We had a platinum room so very comfortable and well provisioned. Ate dinner in Oceans a couple of times. Good if not fantastic food. The small plates better probably than the main dishes. Wine list great. If you haven't tried Chateau Musar white (the red available and one of my favourites) you should. Not often at all that you see these bottles at a restaurant. The maitre'D Justin from Bulgaria has outstanding interpersonal skills and one of the best I have come across. We didn't go to the mexican place though heard a lot of people complaining about the food there. Breakfasts had an amazing choice of cooked but my one complaint, and an area for remedying, is that the bread at breakfast was never fresh. Dry loaves and even stale baguette every morning - and they could do better than boxed cereals (decent muesli?). .Needs sorting asap- if they sourced bread from the same place as Le Nautique in town that would be a start. But a great place to stay and highly recommended.
PS It is out of town but plenty of busses from the road above the hotel

This is a very nice hotel in a good position. The staff are extremely professional and nothing is too much trouble for them. Unfortunately the food in the restaurants is very very expensive and for most people would be far too much to use every day. Could not fault the room which we paid an upgrade for a Gold room with a walk in shower. Everything and above that you could want with a balcony. Just a pity that we had to find other places to eat in the evening as a trip to the Steak House would cost in excess of £80 plus the service charge which is 12.5%. A glass of wine will cost you £11,.00!!!!

The hotel is located at the top of the Fermain Valley, close to the beach that is one of the best ones on the island.
It is at an easy drive from both the airport and St. Peter port. Both are also well connected with buses (ensure you download the app on your phone, it will tell you which buses and at which time, there are two bus stops close to the hotel). The port can also be reached by walking, there is a more direct way on the main road and a nicer but longer coastal walk - the last one requires hiking shoes as it can be muddy.
The hotel is comfortable and cosy, with carpet, couches and armchairs everywhere.
The room is spacious, bright, clean and warm. During the night, it seemed well soundproof and the curtains ensure it can be made as dark as you need. The bed was extremely comfortable.
The service is very efficient and kind.

Hotel is very well situated, staff are amazing, room was lovely and everywhere very clean. The breakfast was very good with plenty of options to suit everyone. I had two concerns, the first being the mattress was very hard and I couldn’t sleep. I asked reception for an extra topper and it was done that day. My other issue was that unfortunately we had a beautiful deluxe room but it was right underneath a family room with children running around and wardrobe doors slamming. I hadn’t realised this and when I checked with reception I was told it was the family room. Avoid room 15 in future!!! I did ask if we could move to room 14 but was told it wasn’t available. We weren’t offered an alternative.

We had a fantastic stay at the Fermain Valley hotel to celebrate my wifes birthday. We had a Classic Room in the main hotel which was excellent and very comfortable. It is in a great location and not too far from the centre or the beach. The hotel has excellent facilities including a fabulous breakfast menu which is superbly presented. One additional and really great feature is the provision of a driver to collect you from the airport, drop offs down in the centre etc and is a real bonus and greatly appreciated. The main key feature of this hotel is the wonderful staff; from Reception, to the waiters, drivers etc - all were fantastic and always so very helpful and engaging. We believe they make this hotel such a wonderful place to stay. The reception staff also provided me with lots of information and advice prior to our arrival which also contributed so much to our short stay. We have always found the Hand Picked Hotels group hotels to be very good but this one will always stand out for us and we would definitely return. Thank you again to you all for a wonderful stay.
