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.

Very nice hotel - some staff are great some are very rude and forget orders! Amazing location food is great but very noisy at night took me ages to go to sleep. Pool Is lovely very hit and pick the right time because it's quite small and can get very busy . Service isn't great but on the whole it was a nit a bad hotel !

Well appointed hotel with good facilities. Our family had a platinum room and a silver twin room for the boys. To be honest there wasn't much difference apart from the size and view. The rooms were clean, airy but I do think as a bit of feedback some luxuries which should have been there were missing, for example the pillows were very cheap and very uncomfortable. I would have expected a decent pillow for the price of the room.
On the plus side all the staff were brilliant, the two men (?duty managers) on reception were excellent, very helpful.
Breakfast good, the rock garden better than ocean for evening meals.
I would recommend the walk from the hotel to St Peter Port along the cliff, it was also brilliant that the hotel will send a car to pick you up!
Great location, would recommend the hotel!

Stayed here for 4 nights and was very impressed.
From the quick efficient checking in through to checking out, everything about this hotel is good. If I had one minor issue, and it is a very minor one it’d be the smell of cooking outside from early evening. But the simple answer is to close the window and balcony door, problem solved.
The hotel is spotlessly clean. The room we had was bright, airy and overlooked the valley - the complimentary fruit and decanter of sherry are a very nice touch.
The rooms are cleaned to a very high standard, with an optional “turn down” service, so when you get back to your room it’s tidy and neat – a great service!
All the staff working here are friendly and cheerful and are only too happy to please. It’s this and the outstanding quality of the food makes the Fermain Valley the place to stay. We ate in both the Rock Garden Steak House and Ocean restaurants’ (Both in the hotel) and were not disappointed. The Mushroom risotto in the Ocean restaurant was possibly the best I have ever tasted. What was really outstanding is that when I ordered sea bass in the rock garden, I requested it without scallops, consequently the bill was less than expected as the scallops were not charged (You’ll not find that in every restaurant). The Valley Tea Room (also in the hotel) serve the most amazing pastries and cakes all made on the premises.
If you decide to stay anywhere else on Guernsey (Why would you?) then at least book the restaurants, but book in advance as they’re very popular particularly the Rock Garden.
We were unlucky enough to have our ferry crossing cancelled. The hotel allowed us to come back and use their facilities despite the fact we’d already checked out. If I were to visit Guernsey again, this would be the place I’d choose to stay.
Good hotel, good food and good service. It doesn’t get better than that. Well done Fermain Valley - 10/10!

Me and my boyfriend visited fermain valley over the valentines weekend and we had a brilliant trip.
Beautiful hotel situated at the top of the valley looking out over wonderful views and only short walk to the beach.
The service was impeccable over our entire trip specifically at the ocean restaurant.
Our room was in 'the venue' part of the hotel which is only a short walk from the main reception. Everything was very clean and tidy and as a nice touch there was a compomentary bottle of port in the room.
Will definitely be visiting again!

I'd like to give this place just 1 star but only so that no-one else goes there - but that would be selfish. Nothing was too much trouble, fantastic (Platinium) room, lovely view and very well situated for walking both along the (very) rugged south coast or a little less frenetic stroll c. 50mins into St. Peter Port. Many buses regularly pass the top of the road (£1 any distance - can't fault that either); you really don't need to hire a car. We passed on the the d,b&b offer when booking because we expected to eat out - BIG mistake. The food was fantastic so dinner each evening turned out to be a no-brainer. Good choice of beers (inc. some decent local ales) and wines. The indoor pool was around a tepid bath temperature - perfect after a day's walking, and the sauna was HOT. Really couldn't find fault with anything. One small negative to be aware of: the hotel is near the flightpath for Guernsey airport, but aircraft are high, small, and propeller driven. Flying starts late and ends early. And all the aircraft were landing so were on idle. Can honestly say the noise wasn't a bit intrusive, just briefly noisy compared with the near total silence the rest of the time. We will be returning. See you there!
