I had a wonderful stay here and would not hesitate to book again. Daniel first took my booking and was so kind and helpful as I really didn't know guernsey at all. Magdalena was also wonderful at the front desk where nothing is too much trouble. My room was lovely and really comfortable. The rock garden is a great place to eat. And the hotel is ideally situated to explore Guernsey. Lucus the hotel driver is also so helpful and happy to take you to the airport or town. A perfect gentleman.

We were unlucky, but at a hotel that costs this much, you shouldn't be able to be unlucky with the room. We saw two other rooms, and they were both much bigger and much nicer than ours, but ours was just plain average. The bathroom was worn and the wifi didn't work in our room (probably to far from internet router). We were so disappointed, as we had seen our friends get nice rooms. So probably in 8/10 visits this would have been great, but obviously they still have some "last resort"-rooms that they have to use when they are fully booked.
Great breakfast, clean. Nice surroundings.

We had been invited to Guernsey by a friend who was having a birthday bash and as I knew it slightly chose the Fermain as our base for the 2 night stay. We booked the lowest grade room, which was at their annexe The Venue. Our room faced the road and included a Saturday night. There was no noise at all and we were able to sleep well in the very comfortable surroundings, with all the trimmings, including good wifi. The Fermain is a very stylish hotel and we would be happy to stay here again.
Other than breakfast we did not have a main meal in the hotel. Minor gripes included elements with breakfast service which they still haven't got quite right, judging from previous reviewers. On any busy morning they need someone going round all the time on 'refill cup of coffee duty'. The first morning we never did get one. On the second morning the table we were shown to was only half set so we had to keep asking for extra table elements to be brought to us, like sugar and butter and marmalade pots. In other words there didn't seem to be someone managing the breakfast service, which, for a 4* hotel didn't seem quite right.
Alll the staff were friendly and obliging and the free car service into town and the airport was invaluable. We hope we might return at some point, for a further visit.

Booked this hotel as a birthday treat for my mother. Things did get off to a rocky start (no car to meet us at the airport as promised & no table booked in the restaurant as requested) but the staff could not have done more to make it up to us. The hotel was just wonderful with a great location, wonderful views and friendly staff. Our room was clean and bright and the little touches were lovely. Free car service into town was much appreciated as was the free wifi. A special mention for Romain who went out of his way to ensure our stay was memorable and to the lovely car driver who was so kind and helpful to my Mum. I hope we can return soon.

Had a lovely 3 night stay here and would definitely book again. Lovely gold room with valley view, very clean and so quiet and relaxing. Breakfast great, had a meal in the Ocean Restaurant which was very nice, not too expensive (paid more in restaurants in St Petersport!) but could have done with a little more veg, presented beautifully. Staff very obliging. Lovely small pebble beach at Fermain bay a short walk down the hill. Five minutes by car into St Petersport, a lovely town right next to the marina.

Had a 4 night break with my husband and my mum. My mum had a Platinum room ( room 15 ) which was amazing. Rather think it could have been the honeymoon suite. It was vast. Had a lovely view. Massive bed, loads of wardrobe space, the bathroom had a shower over the bath and a separate shower, 2 sinks and a separate toilet. She actually spent a full day in the room to make the most of it. Me and my husband had a silver room ( room 39 ). This was quite adequate, not a good view but we weren't bothered by it. The only drawback was when the Rock Garden Bar / Restaurant was open, the smell from the kitchen wafted up. Nice touches with the decanter of sherry (not my tipple but never mind), the complimentary toiletries were Elemis, the towels were plentiful and dried you really well. We stayed on a Half Board basis. Breakfasts were excellent. Choice of fruit juices, cereals, fruit, croissant etc, full english (we had that every day), kippers and so on. The evening meals were in the Ocean Restaurant and as the name suggests consisted of mainly seafood. There were alternative choices but not many. The Rock Garden served a vast selection of steaks. The bar in here is extremely well stocked. Cocktails are a must. We didn't eat there as it was too busy for my mum to cope with but the food looked amazing. We didn't use the pool, sauna, library, shuttle bus or the cinema so can't comment them.The tiered terrace was lovely to sit out on with a long cold beer in an afternoon. Every single member of staff was extremely polite and helpful and very friendly. My mum was in a wheelchair and they always came to help us. Nothing was too much trouble. Mr Robert Steen, the manager, was in every day and always came to have a word with us, making us feel a valued guest. I would definitely return to this hotel and have hesitation in recommending it. x

We stayed at this fantastic hotel for a week. Facilities were excellent, staff were friendly and helpful. Choice of food and restaurants extremely good. There is a choice of a fish or steak restaurant. You must ask for a balcony room in the main hotel as the bedrooms are beautiful and the views stunning. Fantastic coastal walks from the hotel. The coastal walks from the hotel to st peter's port is amazing. Leave the car behind as you can walk eveywhere or use the excellent hotel free shuttle car, with really helpful drivers or the local bus is only a pound. A trip down the hill to fermain bay for the beach or a drink at the beach cafe is highly recommended. It was the first holiday that my husband and I had had in years without the children and the hotel gave us all those extra luxuries that we were looking for. We will definitely be back again.

We have recently returned from a 'Romantic Break 'package at the Fermain Valley Hotel, our second visit in 12 months.
We stayed in a Platinum Room overlooking the Bay and felt that the views and comfort of the room were excellent.
Food was tasty, fresh and well presented.
Service by all the staff was good, in particular we felt our driver Lucas was a good ambassador for the hotel.
Hope to return to this hotel again in the future as we have really enjoyed our little visits to Guernsey!

We really enjoy our holidays at this hotel. The family rooms are very large and a room with a sea view is picture postcard perfect. The gardens between the Venue and the hotel are beautifully maintained. A visit to the cinema on a rainy day is fun and there is a large selection of movies. The viewing is complete with popcorn and drinks. Breakfast is served in the main restaurant overlooking the gardens and sea and I wish we had been brave enough to eat it outdoors. The eggs florentine are cooked perfectly. In addition to hot meals there is also a lovely cold buffet. It is possible to eat healthily! The rooms are cleaned morning & evening so we were completely spoilt during our stay
