In February 2011, Noonfish said about Fermain Valley Hotel
Just returned from a short break at the Fermain Valley Hotel. I am well known for being fussy and am quite often amazed at the lack of standards in some hotels!
This Hotel was one of the best I have ever stayed in!
My husband and I along with a couple of friends, booked a short 2 night break, including flights from Southampton, staying in a Platinum room (Rooms 14 and 12) with one dinner for £244 each! Our room was lovely, very large, and tastefully furnished. Good views towards the sea. Although this was one of the most expensive rooms, I have no doubt that the slightly cheaper gold and silver rooms are of equal quality.
The indoor pool and sauna was a bonus as were the comfortable lounges and library. We also made use of the private cinema on both evenings where we had a good choice of films along with drinks from the bar and even popcorn!
Breakfasts were good, lots of choice and our dinner in the restaurant was excellent.
The staff deserve a special mention as they were all, without exception, fantastic! They were all so genuinely helpful - nothing was too much trouble. This sort of service makes all the difference.
We plan to return again in the Spring!

Fantastic location for this hotel, looking down the wooded valley to the sea and 5 mins drive from St Peter Port. We had admired it on previous visits so were delighted to have the chance to stay there this time. We booked a gold room in The Venue but were lucky enough to get an upgrade to a gold room in the main hotel, which had a balcony overlooking the bay, and it was so quiet and peaceful with no traffic noise. It is on the flightpath for the airport but hey, there aren't than many planes and they are pretty small anyway so it was not a problem. We even got towelling bath robes and slippers to go to and from the pool, or whatever. The room was immaculate and sherry, fudge and fruit awaited on arrival. The fridge was topped up with water every day (and so was the sherry decanter!)
If your room is in The Venue (a separate building fronting the main road out of St Peter Port) suggest you ask for a room on the garden side, which would be quieter, but I would think all rooms are a good standard.
Restaurant service for breakfast and dinner was second to none and the food is really good. All the staff were extremely helpful and couldn't do enough for you.
We would definitely stay again.

We stayed at the fermain valley hotel for a 5 night break in july 2011. Overall a very nice experiance. The staff were friendly, facilities good and rooms and gardens kept up together very well.
Liked the free wifi, in house cinema (which is better than the main cinema!) and the gardens were great.

This hotel is in a prime location 10 minutes drive from St Peter Port at the top of a beautiful, lush valley with views either across the valley and sea or of the lovely gardens. If staying in the Venue ask for a room at the back as the front overlooks the road.
We had a 3 night break flying with Blue Islands from Southampton and stayed in a Platinum room with sea views and the only way it could have been better would have been to have had a balcony. Next time we will make sure we book this. The room was spacious, beautifully decorated, relaxing and altogether delightful. We have never had such a good night's sleep at any hotel. The beds are very comfy and the pillows, which often let a hotel down were soft as a feather. Linen was changed daily, which I felt was unnecessary but very pleasant even so.
The food was top quality, It is the only Michelin starred restaurant on Guernsey and although we had planned to eat elsewhere on our 2nd and 3rd nights we didn't bother as it was not only delicious food but I thought it reasonable for this quality. £49.50 for 2 people for three courses. They also made sure that it was served just the way you wanted it.
All the staff (including the Reservation team) were very helpful, attentive, well trained and went out of their way to help. The hotel minibus was available as often as we needed (even after the service had finished at 4pm) and the drivers were courteous and pleasant.
We will definitely return, maybe on a 5 night break this time with 2 days in their hotel on Alderney and this time we will definitely walk down the steep valley path to the beach and cafe.
I wouldn't recommend it for families with small children but it is perfect for romantic breaks or for couples looking for total relaxation and peace. Overall a 5 star experience.

We ahd two adjacent rooms overlooking the bay. We took our nine month old baby grandson with us. The hotel could not have been more accomodating and helpful. Chef every night cooked for him exactly what w asked for - never mind what was on the menu!!!
I also accidentally left behind a brand new ipod. I hadn't even remembered that I had not got it when the hotel emailed me to say it had been left behind and they would post it on! What honesty by the hotel staff. We shall be back!!!
