Sp[ent 2 nights here as part of a supreme self-organised holiday to Herm, Sark & Guernsey. I have stayed in other Guernsey hotels and have found them all above average, but this has a special extra touch of luxury. Staff are brilliant and witty and enhance that holiday feeling. The room was full of little surprises, eg Guernsey fudge. Dining is a superb experience. The small indoor pool is well heated and opens onto a lovely terrace. The hotel is set in a couple of buildings, gardens and terraces in quite a steep valley. I found this delightful, but people with mobility issues could face problems-make sensible enquiries before booking. Many Guernsey hotels are located on hillsides, so do your research.There is the public bus to town at the top of the hill, and sometimes a hotel courtesy bus. One can walk down to lovely Fermain beach with its cafe, or take clifftop walks to town or Jerbourg. I walked into town in 20-25 minutes, all downhill and a truly delightful route past Victor Hugo's house. Make sure to make an appointment for a guided tour of this house.

my best friend and i stayed here for my 50th birthday weekend, as our flight was delayed we missed the courtesy bus from airport but Mr .steen general manager came to pick us up. The hotel was beautiful and lovely big room. The staff and all people we encountered were so lovely and helpful which made our stay fantastic. The shopping was great , the restaurants served beautiful food 10 out of 10 all round we will be back for my friends 50th in november and we will book here again. As a proud Jersey Bean i have to say well done Guernsey .

This was our second visit to Fermain Valley Hotel.We booked a Platinum room.We were welcomed back by Robert Steen the manager who showed us to our wonderful room 12.All the Platinum rooms are different,we had number 29 on our last visit which was very comfortable.Room 12 is a very large spacious room and our favourite, we could not fault anything,the views were fantastic, all VERY clean and well kept, the best room we have stayed in over the many years of travelling.We spent three very comfortable nights and enjoyed the excellent service in the Valley Restaurant,the staff could not be more helpful.
Mr Steen was in attendance at the hotel each day and we had a memorable few days.We would not hesitate to recommend this hotel.

We stayed for a week in this excellent hotel and can only say it is one of the best we have stayed in. We are looking forward to our next visit. We were in room 36, a Gold Balcony room in the main hotel and thoroughly recommend it. The staff were all very helpful. Robert Steen the manager, Daniel and Helena were extremely attentive and made us feel at home. The hotel gives little extras such as sherry, fruit, fudge, bottled water, Elemis bath products and a turndown room service. The courtesy bus into St. Peter Port is available on request. Do have a meal in the Rock Garden - a worthwhile experience!

This is an axcellent hotel in beautiful grounds and with superior service. Our only disappointment was with their regularly changed fixed menu! There is a fixed menu, steaks etc, and after that, perm any 6 dishes from a list of 8 or 9 during the week.

Came with wife and mother in law for a trip down memory lane as she had not been since 1964! Used to be called la Favourita. Lovely lunch menu and excellent service. Hotel seems very well appointed. Would come for a stay without doubt in the future !

I have stayed in this hotel before so was looking forward to returning. However this time I was not fortunate enough to have been given a room with a balcony overlooking the bay. Instead i found myself at the back of the hotel overlooking the bins. During the night it was very warm but I could not open the windows due to the noise of the generator (well I think thats what it was) and when I put the air conditioning on it sounded more like a very large hairdryer!!
Talking of which, after showering I couldn't find a hairdryer in the room anywhere! I had to call Reception and arrange for one to be delivered!!
We ate in their Rock Garden restaurant the previous evening which was wonderful.
Moral of the Story: Excellent hotel, very scenic but make sure you book a room overlooking the bay and check for a hairdryer when you arrive rather than waiting until you need it.
I will return

What a wonderful stay we had at The Fermain Valley Hotel. Fabulous views and well maintained gardens. The views are spectacular. The service and welcome of an excellent standard. The food was faultless. Staff went out of their way to be helpful and to check that we were having a good time. All this despite a bus strike and a water tank bursting and water coming through the lounge ceiling . The staff continued to attend to the staff in a calm and professional way. Well done all.
The swimming pool is spotless , warm with small but good changing facilities.
If had to make one recommendation to improve it is that customers who are staying in the Venue should have their luggage delivered to the door by staff to save visitors having to manage them up the paths themselves. At this time of the year many guests are of retirement age.
Would I stay here again and recommend it to others. You bet !!!!! Already thinking of next years visit.

This was our first visit to Fermain Valley which I researched on Trip Advisor before we booked. We were not disappointed. Robert and his team need to be congratulated for their attention to detail. Our Gold Room - No 17 - was very comfortable and well appointed with the views across the bay. Liked the additional extras in the room - very nice touch. Very minor comments - bathroom got very hot during showers as extractor not working and disappointed that the mini-fridge was not working during our stay. We used the island buses rather than hire a car and didn't use the hotel courtesy bus which was our choice. Very wide choice on the table d'hote menu in the evening- cooked and presented beautifully. There is also a la carte to choose from.
Would definitely recommend and would definitely stay again.

We had two gold rooms with balconies overlooking the bay. Very comfortable. Only slight annoyance was that extractors in the bathrooms did not work and coupled with strong spotlighting it meant they got very hot. Did report this at reception but nothing was done. Apart from that staff were very attentive, particularly in the restaurant where food was first class. Hotel is in a great area and ideal for visiting St Peter Port which is within walking distance, although up hill all the way coming back which meant bus/taxi was better option! If you stay there on holiday make sure you do boat trips to Sark and Herm - both very worthwhile. Would definitely stay there again.
