It has been my great fortune to stay at the Fermain Valley Hotel in previous years on business trips and this year i decided to extend my stay with my wife joining me for a few days.
This hotel is set in spectacular grounds with just a short walk, through woods covered by bluebells and wild garlic flowers, down to a lovely cove. The Beach Cafe serves tasty crab sandwiches and has a most reasonable wine list!
From the moment we were met at the airport by the friendly staff we were made to feel at home and nothing was too much trouble.
The rooms are tastefully designed and maintained to a high international standard. The food was excellent and we would particularly recommend the Rock Garden restaurant.
A big thank you to Gavin and the excellent staff for making our stay so enjoyable - we will definitely return.

There is only one problem with staying at the Fermain Valley Hotel. Once you do, you will never stay anywhere else on Guernsey.
This is our umpteenth visit to Guernsey and our second stay at the Fermain.
We stayed here last year for my Birthday and our Wedding Anniversary - both of which happily fall on "Liberation Day" May 9.
Last year was a 'big' Birthday for me. (This year even big-ger!). And what a lovely Birthday treat.
The Staff are exceptional. The Hotel itself is beautiful. Clean. Modern yet Classic. The location is unbeatable. The Restaurants are fabulous. (I'm running out of imaginative positive words!)
The Rock Garden Restaurant (in the Hotel) is the best Restaurant on the island. On
a holiday island full of great Restaurants, this is saying something. Amazing food and staff who cannot do enough for you. Book early to avoid disappointment.
If you wanted to, you could stay here and never leave the Hotel Campus. With the Restaurants. Pool. Gardens. The Views. They even have a Cinema. However, it would be a pity to miss out on the beauty of this island. As the locals say "Sarnia Cherie".
P.S. My husband asked me not to be too ebullient - he doesn't want it to become so popular we struggle to book next time!
Come. Enjoy. Tell them the Ashwoods sent you!

This is the first time we have stayed at Fermain Valley, but I suspect it wont be our last. It was so easy to fly here from Stansted (4 hours door to door from our house in Colchester) particularly as it was all arranged by the hotel. A nice touch was being met at the airport by the hotel's driver.
Staff are all very friendly and little extras like the decanter of Sherry in the room, make it feel special.
We ate at the Ocean Restaurant on our first night, which was lovely. Oskar looked after us and even moved us to a more romantic table when it became free. The Crab Linguine was full of flavour and the Fillet Steak was one of the best texured pieces of meat I have ever eaten.
The view from our room down the valley is beautiful, as was the coast walk through the bluebells to St Peter Port yesterday.
Rooms are high standard and very well appointed. Excellent WiFi and Sky TV.
The Fermain Bay Café was a little piece of Heaven

I originally come from Guernsey and was visiting family for a break and I have to say what a fabulous place...rooms are all individually decorated with personal touches such as sherry, fresh fruit, biscuits and white company cosmetics, spotlessly clean ...food was amazing beautiful views over the island...and a credit to Guernsey tourism.

High quality hotel, comfortable rooms, all the usual facilities, including v.nice pool.
All the staff are friendly, competent and attentive. Special mention to Vlad the Restaurant manager.
The attention to detail, though good, draws attention to the little (and I mean minor) slips.
We would prefer a total smoking ban in all the public areas, outside as well as inside.
Otherwise it would be a perfect 5. A 4.5 score is needed.

Recently stayed at the hotel with my Mum in a silver twin room.
From the moment the complimentary shuttle picked us up from the port we were made to feel very special. The hotel was beautifully presented as was our room. Lovely little touches to make you feel at home.
We ate in the hotel restaurant both nights of our stay, the food amazing on both nights.
The hotel sits in lovely grounds. You must walk down to the bay which has breathtaking views! We also walked along the cliff into St Peters Port which was hard work but worth it. Luckily we could call on the services of the shuttle to get us back!!
The only niggle I have was that our room was above an outdoor area which appeared to be a smoking area. It was quite noisy on the Saturday night even with the window closed. Maybe some sound proofing would be worth it. I think if we had been staying any longer than 2 nights we would have asked to move and I will remember this when I return in September with my husband.
All in a lovely stay and have recommended to everyone I know! Cant wait to return.

Location and hotel very good. All the staff were friendly and helpful especially the French girl on reception. Hotel offers a bus service into town. Sherry in rooms would be better in unopened bottles or small bottle of wine but that is just a suggestion. Overall nothing to not to like.

The Fermain Valley Hotel is a 4 Star Hotel located near St Peter Port on the beautiful Island of Guernsey.
Tucked away in what feels like a secret valley, surrounded by trees and leading down to a wonderful beach, this location must be one of the wonders of the world.
The rooms are extremely comfortable and tastefully finished, and the hotel staff are welcoming and warm.
The on-site 'Rock Garden' restaurant is a world class steak house with fantastic meals, atmosphere and service.
I've woken up in one of the Gold Rooms at the hotel which overlooks the valley. It's misty and birds are singing.
What a magical, peaceful place.

Had a simply wonderful week at the Fermain Valley Hotel. I can honestly say it's one of the best hotels I have stayed in.
The hotel runs a free shuttle service between the airport and hotel which is very handy and got the holiday off to a good start. Check-in was swift and the reception staff (and indeed all staff we encountered) were friendly and helpful.
Our room (#17) at the front of the hotel was beautifully decorated and had all we needed. My only criticism is it got very warm and without A/C this was a problem.
Breakfast had a wide range of cooked and continental options and the dining room has a lovely ambience. Dinner in the Ocean Restaurant was simply divine and service was good.
The hotel is in an excellent location, just a short walk down the hill to the beautiful and tranquil Fermain Bay where there is a lovely cafe serving food, ice creams and beverages. (I highly recommend enjoying a glass of white wine in the early evening while overlooking the bay). St Peter Port is about a 30 minute walk along the cliff path from Fermain Valley.
One thing I really liked about the hotel is how uncrowded it felt. Although they were fully booked st the time of our visit, it never felt busy; we had the pool to ourselves and the outdoor seating area was quiet.
The hotel and its setting made for a very restful holiday and we hope to return in the future.
