My husband & I fancied a night away together (we live in Guernsey) so we stayed here last weekend. Such a lovely hotel. Nothing was too much trouble. First impression was great - beautifully kept gardens. We got a fantastic welcome & were shown around the place by the friendly receptionist. Our room (a gold room) was one of the prettiest I've ever stayed in. We loved the little extras like chocolates, fruit & sherry & all the different choices of teas & coffees. It was warm enough to sit out on the balcony & felt very tranquil there. The bar staff were also very friendly & professional & helpful in making decisions about cocktails. We sat out on the decking in the sun admiring the view (sea & gardens) sipping our cocktails & it was pure bliss.
As we live in Guernsey we have already been to all the tourist attractions but I noted there was plenty of information in the reception area about Guernsey & they provide transport in & out of town also.
That night we ate in the Rock Garden. It was our first time going there but will most certainly not be the last. The steak was easily the best I've tasted in Guernsey & the side dishes we ordered were of equal high quality. There was also a lovely buzz around the place - I am already making plans for heading out there again with friends!
Finally breakfast was top notch. Loved the variety & choices of the hot food as well. The pancakes I had were fluffy & sweet & quite frankly divine!
We checked out at 11 as we had to collect our kids but we ended up going back out there for tea & cakes with them that afternoon. Wonderful choice of cakes in a lovely location. About 5 mins walk down the road there is a lovely beach cafe & cliff walks & 5 mins walk in the other direction takes you to the fermain bay tavern which is known for its live music. Would most definitely recommend & will most definitely stay here again 😀

I was taken to the Fermain Valley Hotel by my bosses as a thank you for 25 years service to them and their Company. It is a fabulous hotel and the staff are wonderful. Nothing is too much trouble for any of them.
We had a platinum room and it was large and comfortable and the view was excellent.
The food is very good and the cocktails are varied. A choice of two restaurants and an excellent tea room. Do book a cream tea. What a treat.
The hotel runs a courtesy bus and will drop you any where you wish to go.
The hotel receptionist even helped us book a day trip to Alderney. My word that was an experience on a small plane that looked no bigger than a people carrier. It is an experience I will never forget.

Excellent hotel, fatastic sea views especially from room 12.This room is spacious, has a settie ,Sky T.V, and everything for a comfortable weeks stay.
Staff are very pleasant and are eager to meet your every need including a handle which can be added to the bathroom wall to aid getting in and out of the bath, pluss bath mat if you require one. Nothing was too much trouble.
Food is of a very high standard.Two restaurants for evening dining. Breakfast is waitress service which we prefer. With a marvellous menu, pancakes with maple syrup with smoked bacon a deffinate recomendation. Or bar menu for meals or snacks.
Swimming pool indoor with bifolding doors overlooking the panoramic veiw to Fermain beach. Which is abit of a downward trek, but worth it.
we have stayed prior to this in a balcony room at the rear. But enjoyed the extra space in room 12.
palatial gardens surround the hotel but a little steep for the ones around us with bad knees. But beautifull to look at from the wooden decking at the rear of the hotel.
Hotel cinema seats can be booked to watch films of your choice to watch with your loved ones, if the weather is a little bad.
A perfect all round stay, to which we will return as we have been returning to Guensey for 20 odd years, our favourite!

Have stayed here many times and always enjoyed the experience. Very attentive staff and nothing too much bother for them to do. Breakfast was well organised and always plentiful. Ate once with friends and the evening menu was good with a wonderfully prepared Sea Bass on the menu. Not the cheapest dining experience but memorable. Rooms are decorated well and we had a balcony overlooking the valley. Advantage of visiting in June is the the sun is on the balcony most of the day. Will stay again.

My trip to Guernsey was for business but having never stayed overnight before I decided I should this time and booked this wonderful hotel. We were blessed with good weather mostly which enable us to enjoy the outdoor space. The tea rooms has an excellent and reasonably priced cakes, you must try it! The breakfast was very nice and we also tried the steakhouse again good and reasonably priced.
What a lovely hotel and a beautiful island, hope to come back soon!

Just returned from a weekend break 2 nights fri-sun. The hotel was clean, bright, cosy & friendly with small indoor pool & cinema, plus coffee/tea shop. We had a twin room, Sky tv & free wifi & it was more than adequate with a lovely bathroom & shower over bath. The room had a safe, fridge, tea/coffee/kettle, iron, hairdryer, dressing gowns/slippers & toiletries. In the room also were some CHOCOLATEs, APPLES & not forgetting SHERRY. Plus 2 bottles of water per day. Wow!!! & the beds were comfortable. The hotel staff particularly Jeanne who was a young lady on reception, and worth a mention, were all very friendly & helpful. The hotel is on a slope it has several split levels but, it also has a lift. I noticed a man in an electric wheelchair and the staff assisted by laying ramps for easy access to the oceon restaurant. The Rock garden steak restaurant, was unfortunately for us fully booked Friday & Saturday eve so, a tip - think about making a reservation when you book the room. However the ocean restaurant was a fantastic alternative & the Scottish fillet steak was mouth watering. There is also an airport shuttle bus again this needs to be booked when you make the reservation as gets very busy. The shuttle bus will also drop you into St. Peter's port & collect you, a nice touch! Eve or daytime. This is a lovely hotel & If you enjoy walking there is a challenging coastal walk to St. Peter's port, if your fit & able. (benches along the route) the views on a beautiful day were stunning. It's definitely worth the steps & much easier walking back. The Pathway access can be taken through the garden which is easier than walking down the slope to the bay and then back up. The buses are frequent around the island. Also From the hotel you can walk down to Fermain bay, & then reward yourself with a cuppa in the cafe, open 7 days per week for drinks/food. However, It's a steep walk back up, be warned, don't eat too much cake. The hotel was well worth the visit & we really enjoyed our break,THANKYOU Fermain valley, we will be back again, but for now I need to lose a few pounds in weight 😄

Fantastic hotel and staff. Transport from airport to hotel in the hotel shuttle bus is a good way to see round some of the island. Hotel is set in a beautiful valley, and there is a beach bar/restaurant on the beach at the bottom of the valley. Really secluded feeling and fantastic view to the sea. Wonderful relaxing holiday. Hotel staff are really knowledgeable and friendly. A brilliant stay, and will be going back.

This was our fourth stay in two years at the hotel and we have never been disappointed in the slightest. This year, we were back in a Platinum room with glorious sea views. It has become a home from home for us. Gavin and his colleagues never disappoint in their quality of service. Level of detail is fabulous.
The Ocean restaurant is first class but the Rock Garden is even better (see separate review) and very much livelier! You need to book a table in the Rock Garden some weeks before you arrive or the time slots will be very limited.
One afternoon, we were in St Peter Port and rather tired after walking most of the day so we simply rang the hotel for the courtesy bus and it arrived within 5 minutes.
Thoroughly recommended.
Tip: Let the hotel put a package together for you including either flights or a ferry as they get great rates from the airlines/hire car and from Condor.

All staff very friendly and helpful.
Ate in both restaurants; very different atmosphere in both but excellent food and great breakfasts.
Our room was huge, could easily have had 20 people come to visit us!
The views are great (well, except for the day we had fog but the hotel couldn't organize the weather for us!)
We used the hotel taxi back to the airport; an added bonus.
