We rebooked here as previous stays always wowed us. Needless to say this stay exceeded all previous expectations. We were initially welcomed wonderfully by Jeanne (friendly / superb / delightful). Blown away by the 'gift of kindness' gesture which so made the start to a super break. Cannot fault here. I'd mistakenly booked a room different than our previous one, but without fuss they changed. Happy days. Usual sherry , apples extras in room, fridge water, always nice touch. They offered welcome drink & happy to deliver ice bucket & flutes to room. Top service. Love the pool as ever. Seamless service (with the rock garden) to arrange oysters for us & confirm dinner reservation. Atmosphere always relaxed welcoming unlike other hotels on the island. Nothing is a problem attitude. Ordered breakfast late with a few tweaks & boy would return here for this alone ~ egg white omelette & mushrooms supreme. As a local, it speaks volumes to stay here overnight when I live 10 minutes away :))

spent a few days relaxing in this great Guernsey. The food in the restaurant was excellent as were the breakfasts. The staff were a particular feature of this visit, especially Oscar! all very attentive, even volunteered a glass of water for my wife who had hick ups! The room was spacious and comfortable, highly rec0ommended.

We stayed three nights in this wonderful hotel, our platinum room was fabulously well appointed and the views down the valley out to sea were a delight to wake up to each day.
We ate two nights in the hotel, once on the main restaurant, and the second in the Rock Garden Steak House were we had just the best Chateau Briande.
Each day the breakfast was fantastic.
The only criticism woould be that the indoor pool was very cold, the staff said they had a problem with it when we arrived but that it was fixed and the pool temperature was gradually rising, baring this in mind we left it to our final day for a swim, but alas the water was vladivostock! One also needs to ask the staff to turn the sauna on if you wish to use it..
There is a good coastal walk which takes you into St.Peters Port, and the hotel run a shuttle service which was great as my legs were a bit tired to walk back 🙂
My vacation was the most memorable and romantic as my partner proposed to me on
the beach!
I am sure this will become one of our all time favourite places.

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.
