The Fermain Valley Hotel was originally recommended to us by friends who are residents of Guernsey and we have returned for 4 subsequent visits.
We usually book our visit through Condor Ferries so I suppose we are actually 'Package Tourists' but not that we notice from the attention and friendly service given by the staff who always have time for a chat or to give local advice when needed.
We usually have a room with a balcolny from which we can sea-gaze and on a clear day, normally plenty of these, Jersey can be clearly seen.
The room and en-suite are spotless and comfortable as are all the public rooms and with the choice of lounges and a library, a room to suit one's mood can always be found.
The breakfast and Valley Restaurant meals are excellent both for enjoyment and value, we haven't tried the Rock Garden yet, perhaps we shall in September on our next visit.
We understand from our 'spies' in Guernsey that the Valley Restaurant has recently been revamped, can't wait to savour this.
However, our last visit in late April 2012 allowed the hotel Staff, especially Sara, to really shine. Our return ferry was cancelled due to bad weather, two days in succession, and Sara's energy in accommodating us for those extra nights has to be applauded.
All in all this hotel makes the enjoyable experience that is Guernsey into something quite special.

We booked our trip through Condor breaks for four nights bed and breakfast sailing from Portsmouth and returning to Poole. The ferry experience coming over was excellent. The hotel looked beautiful on arrival with lovely flowers and gardens outside and a magnificent view of the sea. Booking in was seamless and we quickly settled into our room No. 23. Beautiful boutique style decor and fab Elemis toiletries in our En Suite. Everything you could possibly want in a room with beautiful views also. The swimming pool area is a pleasure to use and the Sauna too. Breakfast is a vast array of cold foods and also a full selection of cooked food. I would personally recommend the Cumberland sausage, bacon and fried egg. This hotel is a little gem tucked away near St. Peter Port which is wonderful shopping and eating district. We would recommend Mora Restaurant and Grill on the Esplanade in St. P. P.Try the tapas especially the calamari! Will definitely come back here and recommend it to friends.

I took my wife to the Fermain Valley Hotel as a surprise treat for her birthday. We soon realised that I had chosen an excellent hotel in a great location and with staff who were so helpful and efficient.
All the staff we met went out of there way to make things perfect for us. The hotel also has some great touches such as its own cinema, free chocolates and fruit in the room and bathroom robes. The rooms were really clean and to a very high standard. The beds were so comfotable, I have not slept so well for ages.The restaurant facilties were excellent and the food delicious.
I would not hestitate to recommend the Fermain Valley and we will certainly go back, hopefully before my wifes next birthday.

We stayed here in one of the Platinum rooms during a very cold week in February. I unfortunately was ill with flu during our stay and the staff were really helpful, delivering breakfast to our room each morning at no extra charge. If you have to be ill on holiday this was the ideal location - warm and comfortable with a lovely view down the valley to the sea from our room.
We travelled via ferry from Poole and took our car which gave us flexibility to see the whole island despite the chilly weather.
Thank you to Fermain Valley Hotel for looking after us so well. We will definitely return!

My immediate impression was one of a clean well maintained hotel, access from the main road is through 'The View' but you can go down the side road. It is situated in a lovely valley and the building uses the steep slope well but there are a lot of stairs!
The staff are superb, helpful and courteous without fawning and I never had to wait more than a few minutes to be seen to. The food was of a high quality and well presented and the included breakfast was as good as I have eaten anywhere
The room was clean, comfortable and quiet. This was out of season but there were a lot of us, some more rowdy than normal but the noise didn't travel
I will definitely go back

We took advantage of a special offer through Blue Islands which included flights, two nights accommodation and airport transfers, which was very good value. Everything went perfectly and we thoroughly enjoyed our short trip. The hotel is situated in one of the nicest parts of Guernsey with lovely walks into St Peter Port. We upgraded to a Platinum room which was huge, very comfortable, with lovely views over the valley. It was very quiet at the Hotel during our time which suited us perfectly. We had the pool all to ourselves. Their cinema is free of charge to guests and you can either choose one of their dvds or provide your own and they even supply free popcorn! We ate both nights at the Rock Restaurant which was lovely. The staff at the hotel and in the restaurant were brillilant and we would not hesitate to recommend this place.

We stayed at the Fermain Valley on the weekend of 1st -3rd March 2013.
The room was a silvet room and was located up a short hill through the gardens, we were not told this when we booked but luckily although the weather was cold it was not raining, or it would have been a pain.
The staff were lovely and very helpful, the indoor pool looked good but the water was not very warm, the sauna did not get hot and there was no hot water in the changing rooms or the showers.
The breakfast was really tasty and the meal in the evening was very good.

We booked in for long weekend based on the travel agents recommendation. The hotel is very comfotable, we had a room with a balcony, included nice touches like sherry, water, slippers and bathrobes in the room. Very helpful friendly staff. The food was good especially in the Rock Garden. Will definately stay again.
