We last visited this hotel in 1968 when it was called The Favorita.
Going back this time brought back many happy memories. The hotel is still special but has been updated to a
modern boutique hotel with an excellent chef. The staff were friendly, polite and extremely welcoming.
Our room had a wonderful view of the valley down to Fermain Bay and had everything to make our stay enjoyable.
Look forward to visiting the island again.

In a stunning location overlooking a wooded valley and the sea at Fermain Bay. The room (10) was spacious, clean and comfortable with a double aspect overlooking the sea in one direction but without a balcony but in March this was not a problem. We ate in both restaurants - the steak in the Rock Garden was very good but the desserts a little uninspiring. However, the food in the Ocean Restaurant, where we ate twice, was superb. The staff were all very friendly, welcoming and efficient. They arranged car hire for us at a very competitive rate and the car was delivered to the hotel.

Stayed at the Fermain Valley Hotel for a six night break in March 2016.
The Hotel is absolutely exceptional in all aspects.
The room was light, very clean, well decorated and had all the luxury touches you would expect.
The staff were the most helpful/ cheerful & friendly I have ever encountered in a hotel.
The food was excellent - especially at the Rock Garden.
Overall, one of the very best on the Channel Islands.
Thoroughly recommend.

We were met at the airport by the hotel curtsey car. A speedy checkin. Our room was lovely, it was very large, and had all you could want. There was fresh fruit, chocolates and a decanter of sherry and a local daily paper as standard. The room was at the back and overlooked the gardens. The terrace over looked the valley,
Breakfast was a selection of cereals, fruit, pastries as well as cooked. The evening meal was very good with a nice selection.The staff were so helpful , nothing was too much trouble.
It was easy to get into St Peter port with the hotel driver, who would pick you up at a arranged time or you could phone when you were ready.
Great tearoom with delicious scones and cream.
Very easy to book on the phone as the hotel did everything, Great that free wifi in all areas.

This is the best hotel we have stayed in. The hotel was spotless, the staff friendly, helpful, and so welcoming. The view from our balcony was amazing and the fruit and sherry in the room a nice touch. We ate at the Rock Garden - the best steak ever, and the Ocean Restaurant where the set menu was excellent value and first class food and service. It was refreshing to have a freshly cooked breakfast every morning rather than the usual help yourself variety. Jeanne the receptionist was superb, very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. She offered to print out our boarding passes without being asked and arranged our taxi for our early morning flight. We intend to return for a longer stay. Cannot recommend Fermain Valley Hotel highly enough.

We stayed in a platinum double room with two extra beds for the kids. Upon arrival, room was ready and waiting for us (not always the case when asking for extra beds!).
Room very well appointed - clean, fresh, light, bright and very spacious. Only small gripe was bathroom in the eaves and so no full height shower over bath. No balcony in our room but fabulous view of the sea. Nice turndown service available free of charge in evenings.
Food absolutely delicious - breakfast mixture of continental buffet and a la carte hot food. Word of warning - both restaurants seem very popular with visitors and locals alike so book in advance! That said, the hotel set up a special table for us in the bar when we couldn't get a reservation one eve - gorgeous meal!
Swimming pool small but perfect for a quick dip.
Main car park cosy and road down to hotel was challenging with a larger vehicle and limited experience of Guernsey roads. But it is fine to park in the car park at the top of the hill and walk through the gardens to the hotel.
Free courtesy car lifts into town wonderful. Also a cliff top walk from hotel down to town which is beautiful - ask for directions and then phone courtesy car for return back up.
Nothing was too much for the staff. When our ferry was cancelled due to bad weather, the hotel immediately shifted things around so we could stay an extra night in the same room.
Wonderful stay, would recommend without hesitation.

We were met at the airport by our transfer the driver very informative and helpful. Not far from airport hotel in beautiful setting. Hotel very nice our garden room was well decorated ,spacious with nice little extras included. Pleasant views down the valley to the sea. Staff very helpful breakfasts good plenty of choice. We ate at night in the Ocean restaurant food apart from our last night was really nice. The special menu was good value. Wine choices very good. Tearoom lots and lots of yummy cakes. Library a nice change to get away for piece & quiet. We used indoor pool and sauna. Pool a bit chilly though. The walk down to Fermain Bay ooh not for the unfit we did it though. They had a Easter Egg hunt for the children, which they thoroughly enjoyed. A nice relaxing break helped by extremely attentive hotel staff. Thank you Fermain.

Second visit here, in a relatively short space of time, just to make sure the first experience wasn't a "fluke".... It wasn't, it's still brilliant.
This hotel was a wonderful find and I now won't stay anywhere else when visiting Guernsey.
Room was amazing, so spacious, and immaculate. Amazing views of the valley and sea. Food was cooked to perfection and obviously presented with pride and passion.
The staff are excellent, relaxed yet so efficient and friendly.
If you are visiting Guernsey and are looking for a place to stay, stay here. You won't regret it.

It's not often you can review a hotel stay so positively! Had a really great time here. Superbly situated. Everything is catered for. Very clean. It looks like it has been renovated over the last few years, don't know, but it is stylish. Used the Rock Garden, did have a problem, which was put right straight away. The Ocean restaurant - can't fault it. Great breakfast, lovely food, but it is the staff that make it great. They are all so friendly, and it seems genuine! Our room (Gold) was great - if anything, it was too warm. Never thought we'd say that! Disturbed the sleep a little. The hotel is under the flight path, and flights start early, but you get used to that, Fab hot bathroom radiator with fluffy towels and robes. Gorgeous. Lovely view to the sea. One tree in particular could do with felling, if allowed, to enhance the view. Lovely outdoor space, for when it's warmer, pretty gardens. Loads of tables and chairs outside. Don't really need to go anywhere else. Did not use the pool, but it looked lovely, and beautifully clean. The Tea Room is a delight, with fab cakes baked by their pastry chef, there is a gorgeous quiet relaxing lounge and library too! Will be back. Loved it.

We stayed at the hotel for our wedding anniversary and, in the main, enjoyed it very much. I have to say that we were very disappointed to find that the dinner set menu in the Ocean restaurant was the same on each of the 3 nights, especially that even the soup course was not changed from cauliflower soup, not a particularly good choice at the best of times.
