Here in the rain and it's still a Lovely hotel very friendly, clean and luxurious. Would recommend. It ticks all the boxes. I'd recommend in particular the Rock Garden Steak House with in the hotel it's lively and buzzing with atmosphere.

We booked to stay for one night as a treat. Dinner in the Ocean restaurant was perfect - a delicious menu, good wine list and relaxed atmosphere. After dinner we were given a tour off the hotel including the new tea room and the Rock Garden restaurant and cocktail bar. It was great to see the hotel so busy, there was a real buzz about the place. The service was excellent too with our room being upgraded to a balcony room which made our stay extra special. A terrific team made us feel very welcome. We'll definitely be back.

We stayed at FVH for one night recently and the hotel was lovely and staff were amazing. We also hs a lovely meal at the steak house restaurant. Facilities are great including the car that picks up from the harbour. We will be returning again 😀

Just returned from Guernsey and a 3 night stay at Fermain Valley.What a treat to discover its own little bay 5 mins downhill,could imagine in summer this is just perfect. The hotel itself is brilliant. Our room was lovely and had everything you needed. You can have breakfast brought to your room at no charge but why miss the amazing buffet selection as well as a choice of cooked dishes. Nothing is too much trouble and I saw many variations of the menu brought out. We had dinner 2 nights in Ocean and the standard was excellent. Used the swimming pool,which opens out onto a decked area for the hotter months and used the towels provided and even the bags to put your wet swimsuit in. The hotel will pick up and drop off from airport and take you to St Peter Port,which is 8 mins drive. This is a money saver, no taxis required. Would definitely recommend.

Booked as a surprise birthday present for my husband & it was indeed better than I anticipated. We arrived post walking to Lihou & were allowed to order lunch at 2.30 pm close to the end of lunch at the Ocean. It was SO impressive I'm still salivating over the steak, gambas, cracking valley salad, kale & asparagus. We stayed in a gold room which had everything you could wish for - great view of the valley, balcony to watch the sun go down, composite breakfast tray with everything you need. Sweet touches were the complementary bottle of sherry, local fudge, apples & water!!! Unbelievable. Lovely walk down to fermain beach (note you can now only park there with a permit so maybe not for the less able). We dined at the Rock Garden for dinner and loved the fact 1 hotel could offer 2 completely different dining experiences which were equally as wonderful. Rock Garden is more of a dinner place as the atmosphere, decor, steaks steaks & yet more steaks are a must here. You'll need to book as very popular. Although plenty for carnivores there are many fish alternatives & the oysters were great value. Sides are all super priced at £3.50 for the portion size. Drinks pricey but then they do pride themselves on being a cocktail bar. Bed super comfy & the swimming pool nice extra for the next day (warm for those who hate cold pools). This review would not be complete without the mention of the lovely staff here. From check in staff (Kim & Marianne) to the Ocean / Rock staff. Breakfast is also great value if staying at the hotel (pricey if non resident £13.50). Everything you would want from a hotel breakfast. Without a doubt I would stay here again.

I had eaten a sandwich lunch on a previous visit and remember some lovely views of the sea. This time we stayed there over the Easter break and were really impressed.
Staff were very welcoming and helpful. We were taken on a guided tour by Viera. Our room was a bit of a distance away in the annexe and our daughter and her friend stayed in the main building. The rooms were elegantly furnished and looked classy. Complimentary bottle of sherry, fudge and apples in the room were a nice touch. The views of the sea were spectacular. We never got to use the complimentary movie theatre, the pool or the sauna as there was so much to do around the area!
The cliff walk into town was spectacular with lovely views.
Breakfast was lovely with eggs Florentine, benedict etc on the menu A complimentary car to the airport was again a lovely touch.
There were two restaurants on site but we ate at the Oceans restaurant which was excellent. There was also a very popular steakhouse on site.
The annexe is next to the venue which is a place which people hire for parties and it was noisy till midnight but we slept well having walked a good few miles during the day!

Thanks to all the wonderful staff, and Gavin & Greg in particular, we had a superb relaxing and luxurious stay. The gardens designed by a manager with the Eden Project were decked with primroses and the breakfasts, dinners and especially the quality of the fish, made it a very memorable holiday and very appropriate for a honeymoon.
The complimentary transport via Nick whenever we wanted a lift was timely and courteous, and the icing on the cake was the private cinema experience, complete with popcorn.

Just about to check out from this truly amazing hotel. We have stayed in some first class hotels and what sets one fine hotel apart from another can be a subtle differences, but you know when you have experienced a great one. First of all you know your visit has been great when you are properly rested at the end of your stay!
This hotel gets all the key factors right. The experience is personal; from the moment you arrive to when all you needs are looked after and nothing is too much to ask.
The location is wonderful and there is a short walk down to Fermain bay which is amazing bay to rival the best Cornwall has to offer. The hotel provides a free taxi service to all nearby locations and will pick you up with 15-20 minutes notice. Being close to St. Peter's port means is easy to get the boat across to Herm (amazing beaches) and Sark. Both lovely islands and very different. You need a long day (or two) to do Sark properly! We hired bikes which was great fun and easy going for all.
The hotel itself is charming, clean and styled well through the different buildings. Rooms were very conformable, modern bathrooms with plenty of water, safe and tea / coffee making facilities. Having a private cinema with a member of staff to provide drinks and popcorn to order made was brilliant!
What really set's this hotel apart is the level of service. Staff were always available when needed, ready to offer advice, find ways to make your stay more enjoyable, but also had that talent of disappearing into the background when you don't want to be disturbed.
We ate the in the Ocean restaurant several times and the food was excellent. As vegetarians we spoke to the chef several times throughout the stay and he was always prepared to suggest dishes we might enjoy. We were never confined to the menu whether we were eating breakfast, lunch or diner. Nothing was too much effort.
There is really nothing this hotel needs to do any better. Superb! Every effort has been invested in the hotel to make it a great place to relax and it is staffed by people who really understand service. All at great value too.

This brilliant hotel is nestled into a picturesque bay where the only sounds you'll hear are the birds, sea and a small stream.
The rooms are spacious and come with niceties such as wine, bottled water and chocolates.
Breakfast has a great selection of continental choices.
One downside is that certain members of the breakfast team and and bar staff are not overly friendly and quite frosty. This is a shame as the rest of the staff are very friendly.
I would clearly stay here again and hope you do too!

From the moment we arrived Gavin was most helpful, showing us around and explaining walks, beaches, buses etc. The staff are most accommodating and very knowledgeable about the various events on the island and the courtesy car is brilliant.
The one fly in the ointment was the piped music in the hotel and on the terrace, for such a peaceful hotel it would have better without it. That said we would return and recommend the hotel to anyone wanting to be a little way away from the bustle of St Peter Port
We were there on a half board basis.
GREAT STAY
