My husband and I stayed here, we booked a silver room, we loved that we had a sea view when we thought it would be view of the gardens. The carpet had quiet a few stains on in our room, however the rest of the room seemed spotless! We got told we would have a fruit platter in the room in fact it was just 3 apples on a plate, not really what we had in mind of fruit platter. The shower is very powerful in the bathroom, my husband turned the power function the wrong way and the shower head flew off the holder and sprayed all across the bathroom! Dinner in Ocean restaurant tennerfest was lovely- very good value! We have breakfast included in the morning, unfortunately I had a hair in mine, but the problem was sorted straight away and I was given a fresh breakfast, which tasted good!

We walked the cliff path from St Peter Port to Fermain Bay. This took us an hour to complete and were disappointed that the beach cafe was closed - opening at weekends this time of year.
A further trek up the hill and we saw this hotel. The food was good as were the immaculate surroundings and beautiful view.

The fermain valley hotel is situated on the main bus route about a ten minute trip from the main town of St peters port. Should you wish to go into town, notify reception about 20 minutes before and they may be able to arrange for their courtesy car to drop you down.
The hotel is situated in two buildings. The first and lower building houses two excellent restaurants along with indoor pool, bar, lounge (complete with library) and reception. The second building is situated up the hill on the main road (the venue), and houses not only 12 extra rooms but a cinema and meeting/conference facilities.
We Stayed for four nights first week in November, not overly busy (or so it seemed) however we found our selves, in a room in the upper building. This is was not a problem to us, but I would suggest to any potential guests with mobility issues and or heart conditions, to check you are In the main building, the walk from each building although not long is up hill all the way.
The rooms are extremely well appointed - fully equipped bathrooms robes, slippers, flannels, hair driers and all toiletries provided. Superior double rooms have ironing facilities, full tea and coffee facilities (big selection topped up daily), mini fridge containing, selection of bottled water (complimentary). Flat screen tv,s with basic sky box, and as an added extra, there is also a selection of fruit and a decanter of sherry for your pleasure, which is also toppled up daily. The whole hotel is served by free wifi.
We had a lovely stay, but for one thing- in the top venue building they do hold receptions and events and if you are unlucky enough to be assigned a room next to the function room, prepare for a long noisy night. The music and noise was so loud, that we could hear every word of every song, and the pictures and furniture in our room were actually vibrating. The following morning we expressed our disappointment at not being informed of the event, and or even being assigned that room, when clearly guests of the wedding could have taken that room and nobody would have been disturbed. This one disrupted nights sleep has stopped me rating this venue a full five stars. Overall very good!

By far the nicest and most pleasant hotel I have been to in years. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff, the room was divine, the meals wonderful and so I could go on & on. I loved the conducted tour we were given of the hotel when we arrived. It was obvious that the staff have a lot of pride in working there.

We stayed here for two nights and had the msot relaxing time. We ate at the steak restaurant both nights and it was tasty and the staff were really pleasant. Breakfast offered a large variety of food and was brilliant but some of the staff could have smiled more. The pool is great and a nice warm temperature. The lounges are perfect for an afternoon read and the hotel room was lovely. We would recommend it and look forward to coming back.

On arriving at the hotel late we were greeted with a warm welcome and shown to our room which was a lot smaller than expected and very hot and stuffy. On booking my partner emailed in advance to enquire about eating in the restaurant as it would be late. He was assured it wouldn't be a problem and we would be catered for. We made our way down and asked for a table to be told we had to be seated in the communal area outside if the main dining section. So we were left there isolated and feeling confused. The indifferent waiter took our order them returned a couple of minutes later to say our choices weren't available. We ordered again and waited a while for our food. It was ok but by this time we were tired and ready for bed. On returning to the room it was still very hot and stuffy and remained this way all weekend despite leaving the windows open. Breakfast was a bit like faulty towers, missing cutlery and staff who really weren't interested. The sausage was barely cooked and put me off the rest of the food. On day 2 we thought we try room service but again had missing cutlery so had to call for some more. By the time it arrived the breakfast was cold. I went for eggs benedict but the overpowering vinegar taste left it unedible. As the rate wasn't particularly cheap our overall impression was disappointment.
We would definitely return to Guernsey though.

I stay away 3/4 nights on business and chose fermain valley after reading many positive reviews.
The hotel is accessible by bus from the airport (only £1) and a short walk downhill. Initial impressions are great, building exterior is immaculate and well maintained.
Check in process efficient and staff friendly. Informed of all the hotel facilities in depth and in a professional manner.
The room - wow. Make sure you have a sea view if you can splurge, massive bed beautifully presented in a spotless and modern styled room.
Pool and sauna well maintained and lovely after a long day.
Slept brilliantly, very quiet.
I will definitely stay again, a true gem in the island.

An amazing hotel with lovely staff! On arrival we were greeted with a complimentary drink each and the very friendly staff booked us in. We stayed at the top of the hotel which is short walk to the top of the resort and into the building! (The venue) down stairs was the free cinema building which you can not hear when you are in the rooms above as we were! The food was excellent and brilliant facilities! Lovely place with lovely people! Would definitely recommend to everyone.

Having stayed at this hotel back in June, we thought we would book a Christmas break so we had the three-day Christmas package plus an extra day in order to qualify for the free flights.
We were not disappointed. The package was great with lots of excellent food and even a boat trip to the island of Herm on Boxing Day. It was quite an experience to be chatting with other guests by the beach, in shirtsleeves, drinking superb hot toddies on Christmas Day while Britain was freezing!
Again, we stayed in a Platinum room which was amazingly large and even had an old stone fireplace. One of the best hotel rooms we have ever had. Restaurant food and service were, once again, first class. On the fourth evening, we dined in the Rock Garden which is part of the hotel but mainly frequented by locals. It is a first-class steakhouse with steaks from around the world at reasonable prices. This place is buzzing and you need to book in good time. The steaks are superb and the South American steaks are chilled but not frozen in transit so none of the taste is lost. The wines are good, too. Regrettably, I only managed to sample one of the 28 gins available at the bar.
We will certainly be returning again soon.

Got back yesterday from our 2nd visit in 3 months and I cannot speak highly enough of this hotel. They go beyond the "call of duty" to make sure you have a wonderful stay. The free collection from the airport, drinks on arrival, fab rooms, fab food, great staff. We made use of the free cinema & they even give you free popcorn. We will be back without a doubt
