First of all the good things about this hotel. It is a clean friendly, airy and bright hotel with lovely food (Especially The Rock Garden) and also breakfast was tasty although a few things forgotten.
We stayed in the Tree House room and from what I heard, my expectations were high, however upon entering the room, it was dark and dull with walls which looked unfinished. The room only had one window/door which was at the front of the bed which gives you a lovely look out to the trees, however without the curtain pulled, you lose your view if you want privacy as the path to the other cabins is right outside the window door at the foot of the bed.
The shower was nice and powerful but water was only mildly luke warm.
What ruined the stay completely was the green spotlight next to the door which I presume was for the fire exit, which is the only exit anyway... The light was so bright it was hard to sleep, you could see everything in the room and was unable to cover it up with anything to get a good sleep. I would suggest either dimming this light if a requirement or completely removing it. If you are a light sleeper, it will bug you.
The highlight was the Jacuzzi, it was lovely, however it is shared between 4 cabins so you can't really relax when pressured by others wanting to get it.
We much prefer the actual hotel rooms and would probably book them again rather than the Tree top cabins.

This is our second stay at this lovely hotel. The staff are friendly and accommodating, our sea view room was tastefully decorated and clean. We especially enjoyed a wonderful meal at the Rock Garden, I would highly recommend the Chateau Briand. The tea room is also well worth a visit. Looking forward to our next visit.

Just spent 4 nights here. Excellent hotel in every way and dined at both the Mexican and Steakhouse attached to the property. Easy to get into St. Peter Port on the bus and sample the outstanding restaurants there. Happy to recommend Fermain Valley which is smart, clean and full of character. Staff are friendly and efficient. Will be back to enjoy this hotel and a fabulous island.

We spent 3 nights in a platinum room overlooking the valley and sea. Very large and comfortable room with everything we needed. Excellent breakfasts served by friendly staff. We appreciated the complimentary shuttle pick up from airport and into town each day. The only downside was that their main restaurant Ocean Eats was closed in the evenings whilst we were there.

This is the 3rd time I have stayed here, I find the location great and Very helpful and friendly staff, comfortable bed and clean room. The views from the terrace are amazing and can relax with a nice drink. The Mexican restaurant on site is really good, food is beautiful. Highly recommend this hotel.

I spent 4 nights here, the room was comfortable, the shower was incredible very powerful. Staff very good and helpful. Breakfast excellent, the Ocean restaurant was closed due to lack of staff. There are options a steakhouse and a Mexican restaurant attached to the hotel are both excellent I ate at both and enjoyed all the meals I had. It can get noisy there was a barbecue one day the noise was very loud with rooms overlooking the patio no getting away from the drum and bass. The beach is a steep walk down a hill and seems even steeper walking back up. St Peter Port is a 40 min walk away worth a visit

So my husband and I booked a room here last minute due to our flights being cancelled elsewhere.
On first impressions the hotel looks lovely, tastefully decorated and the bar terrace outside has a fantastic view of the blue sea and sailing boats. Recommend sitting out here for a drink in the sun, see photo.
Just a tip - don't arrive before check in time as they won't let you to the room. (We did arrive 2 hours early due to the ferry times, so we were chancing our luck)
The lady on reception was absolutely amazing, so friendly, nice and chatty. Loved her, great asset to the hotel.
The room (54) in the annex was a good size, large bed, had tea and coffee making facilities, iron and hairdryer.
Just wished the cleaner had paid more attention to cleaning the bathroom (dust/dirt in corner of the rim on the bathtub, couple of suspicious hairs on the floor, was evident the floor wasn't done at all. But nothing major)
The major things with this room was, as its in the annex there is a steep hill to walk up and down everytime you want to go to the bar/restaurant/reception etc. I wasn't aware of this when booking the room on hotels.com, only had an email half an hour before turning up! And I'm not joking, it was steep.
Another downside to this room is that the walls are super thin. I could hear the conversation our neighbour was having on the phone at 10pm and could hear all the women cackling when coming up the stairs at 11pm.
Plus the noise outside from the buhu restaurant guests and the people in the tavern over the road was quite bad the 1st night we stayed, not bad after 9:30pm on the second night.
But if you're after peace and quiet, probably not the room for you.
Breakfast on our first morning was lovely, but we did have to wait 45 minutes to receive it. Had to ask twice where our food was, but once we had it it was very tasty.
The food in the onsite Greek restaurant and the steakhouse was delicious and very filling. The Spanish lady who worked there was super smiley and happy, she was just lovely.
I recommend booking a reservation with the restaurants as soon as you arrive as they get booked up very quickly.
Overall the hotel was very nice, shame the noise outside our room and the steep hill let it down slightly for us.

Very comfortable Hotel, Service excellent and a lovely position a couple of miles from St Peter Port.
We had Gold Room which had all the amenities you expect from 4 star hotel and a fantastic view of the Valley and Sea. Indoor Swimming Pool is warm and clean and not used much.
Our only disappointment was the Steak house restaurant where we had to send my wife's Rump Steak back twice as poor quality and overcooked.
Drink prices on a par with UK and breakfast outstanding.
