Once again we have stayed here in this lovely hotel. Beautiful and clean, I can vouch that the maids do a brilliant job as I was laid up for three days with a bad back, I watched them clean the room and they did a brilliant job, so unfortunately I wasn't firing on all cylinders unlike the Harley Fat Bay that was (private joke) Tony was in the car park so just saw you. Robert and his crew do a fabulous job, the staff are all friendly and very polite, and my comments haven't changed since last years review. A lovely hotel to stay in, and anyone who says different isn't on the same planet as us.
Best wishes to you all at Feirmain and hopefully we will see you again the spring.

Very impressed with Fermain Valley Hotel and would visit again.
Really good restaurants within the hotel itself ,where it felt you were in a restaurant in town with a nice atmosphere.
Rooms are comfortable. Had a Silver Room on the top floor as unfortunately all other rooms were taken at time of booking but was of good standard even without a view. You have a great one when you have breakfast,lunch or dinner.....
Fermain has lovely well kept gardens and there is a pretty beach right at the end of it with a further short walk.
Service was good overall - just a couple of things to mention that could be improved maybe? no outdoor shoes in the pool area and no access for people having business lunch parties outside where they can go and sit on their phones where people are swimming. Pool area we thought was for quiet and also it compromises cleanliness when you can come and go in outdoor shoes and use the toilets from the outside instead of walking just a little further into toilet in reception area.
A great touch having a shuttle service at the hotel and it's those little touches that encourage people to return.

Came here for a 70th birthday surprise for my dad. We couldn't fault the rooms, all are beautifully appointed some with balconies, each are provided with complimentary sherry and plenty of tea and coffee. The customer service is top notch and they even provise a shuttle service from the airport which is a short ride away. Down the hill from the hotel is Fermain Bay where we had a paddle in the sea and a drink at the cafe, the food looks good there too. It's a nice stroll into St Peter Port where there are nice restaurants and lots of shops. If you want a trip round the island you can get on the bus for £1 which gives you a good idea of what else is available in the vicinity. The hotel restaurant is also very good, there was 10 of us eating on the Saturday night and we were well catered for with a varied menu. We had a morning swim both mornings before breakfast and had a swim and sauna on Saturday afternoon. Both evenings we were able to use one of the lounge areas to have coffee and liqueurs before bed. I can't praise this place enough and can't wait to go back there again.

The Fermain Valley hotel is a quaint boutique hotel situated close to the airport atop a hill, overlooking the picturesque Fermain Valley. The staff members were all very friendly and accommodating.
Our room was small but comfortable and well decorated (room 30).The downside to the room was no airconditioning and as the room faces the sun the whole day, the nights were uncomfortably warm. I do believe the hotel is making plans to install airconditioning units soon.
I loved that they had complimentary sherry in the rooms to enjoy out on your balcony in the evenings.
The bathroom was tiny but functional and hair and body products provided (Elemis).
The hotel has two restaurants of which one is a steak house and the other seafood. We ate only at the Ocean as the Rock Garden is not open for business on Sundays. ( we arrived on Saturday and departed Monday morning ) The food was of good standard and the restaurant atmosphere pleasant. For lunch the terrace was lovely to soak up the autumnal sunshine whilst enjoying a chilled glass of wine.
To do: the hotel offers an indoor heated pool and sauna. Take a walk through the beautiful gardens down to the Fermain Valley beach and enjoy a meal or drink at the beach caffe' ( during summer season only). The beach caffe' is cleverly situated over a WW11 German lookout post. For those who enjoy hiking, take a walk around the cliffs to St Peter Port ( about an hour's walk).
Shopping can be done in St Peter Port and the hotel offers complementary shuttle service into town ( 5 minutes drive). There is plenty to do in and around St. Peter Port. Visit the castle or take a day trip out to either Sark Island or Herm Island on a ferry ( £12.00 per adult)
For those who are noise sensitive, please note that planes fly low overhead, coming in for landing and taking off. The earliest flights start at around 6:50 am.
All in all we enjoyed our weekend away and will stay at the Fermain Valley hotel again on future visits.

We stayed here for 4 nights and have found it to be a really beautiful, good value hotel. We'd like bigger beds but that's difficult because of the way in which the rooms were designed originally. I think that will be addressed when a makeover takes place. It's impossible to fault the staff, the welcome, the cleanliness or the situation. We will certainly return.

This hotel was set in lovely gardens and had a wonderful view of Fermain Bay from the terrace. The staff were friendly, lovely comfortable lounge area and a small library with books to loan. Had two restaraunts but we only tried the one on our stay. The Ocean, food was excellent, mainly fish as name would suggest but did also serve steaks. The price were a little high for us to eat in the restaraunt every evening but no higher than an average price in England. Our room was spotlessly clean but a little on the small side but that may be because it was probably a budget priced room. The downside to the stay was the fact we were put in the annex although we were aware of this before our visit and was also informed that it was a bit of a slope from annex to hotel. We did feel it was a bit of a trek backwards and forwards from room to hotel and the slope was indeed very steep had we known how steep we would have paid extra for a room in the main building as my husband has a slight foot disability. I did explain this to receptionist and was told that the shuttle bus if available would take us up the slope. The room was also not in a very good position if you required peace and quiet. It was on a busy main road and opposite a pub that was noisey also next to The Venue which held a wedding reception and a birthday party both going on late.

It was our 46th wedding anniversary and I booked this hotel as a package offered by them inclusive, 3nts B&B with 1 evening meal and return flights from Bristol. I would say that from pre-arranged airport pick up to the final day everything was superb. All staff were friendly and nothing was too much bother. The manager Robert was always in attendance and ensured that everything ran smoothly. The rooms were very clean and well equipped, no shortage of refreshments and even a decanter of sherry. Lovely views and a quiet location, even aircraft overflying into the airport was hardly noticeable . The two hotel restaurants served high quality food at comparable prices, the breakfast was also very good part buffet and cooked to your requirements. For our anniversary day there was a card, a bottle of bubbly and red rose petals scattered over the bed, a lovely touch. There is an indoor pool, sauna, reading lounge and library, all immaculate. One of the best hotels I have stayed.

It was our 19th wedding anniversary and was trying to find something different in Jersey to treat my wife. Wanting a little more than a local overnight stay we booked the Fermain in Guernsey based on the fact that I had stayed there on business the year before and was impressed. None more so than when we arrived we were greeted with complimentary anniversary champagne and a card from the management. We booked a beautiful meal in their new steakhouse, which I believe is probably the best in Guernsey, and returned to our turned down room with rose petals covered over our bed in the room. Unfortunately I couldn't take the credit for such loving care and service! but nothing was too much bother and the staff were some of the best I have experienced in hotels globally. The remote secluded bay/café is a must for that quiet getaway and to complete the stay their porter drove us back to town for our departure. I don't normally give out 5 stars but I cannot the fault the hotel, management and staff. We booked the platinum room and was not disappointed! Can't wait to get back there for a mini trip! Thanks Fermain staff..

We chose a room in the main hotel and not the annexe, this was a good idea because the hill climb to the annexe from the main hotel where all the services are, is steep.
Silver room - spacious and very clean. The daily clean/tidy service was excellent. The decanter of sherry in the room was a nice and much appreciated touch. The two restaurants were both very good (we unbeknown arrived at the beginning of October and benefited from the annual Tennnerfest season, which meant the meals were extremely good value - a pleasant bonus!
All staff were excellent. Out of our 4 day stay we had 2 rainy mornings and the hotel lounges proved very comfotable and hospitable.
