My friend and I chose this hotel above others as we thought the location looked stunning and would be worth paying a bit more for - we weren't disappointed! We were also pleased with the extremely professional, friendly staff who were polite and attentive without gushing over us. An error in our room being a double instead of a twin was resolved very quickly. The hotel has excellent facilities: two bars, a swimming pool and shuttle service (which we only used to go to the airport) amongst other things. The food in the restaurant was delicious and there was a variety of choice for breakfast. The complimentary glass of Prosecco on arrival was very welcome after our early start and our room, which had a fabulous view of the stunning hotel gardens, was spotlessly clean and well equipped with essentials like water and a hairdryer. The decanter of sherry was quite quaint but we indulged nonetheless! We were on the top floor so it was also very quiet which was important to us. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone who is planning a trip.

The hotel faces the sea and as such has a lovely outlook over the terraced gardens below.
We paid for a slightly better room. The room itself was ok, a little dated and arguably in need some TLC. Examples would be the side tables with cup/glass ring marks. The bathroom wasn't up to much either I'm afraid.
The one overriding issue despite this being one of their newer rooms, there was no air conditioning. It really does need it, the room gets very warm and you have to open the French doors that lead to he balcony to let some air in and make it bearable. A feature that is lees than secure and not the ideal solution.
We only had breakfast in the hotel but it was very good. Not a huge selection from the buffet/continental selection but it was just fine. The hot selection off the menu was very good, between the two couples staying we probably tried most options over the three days and all was good.
The restaurant itself is well presented, nice modern decor with a slightly nautical theme.
We didn't eat in the steak restaurant owing to us eating around the island but it looked to be a popular option.
The hotel itself is well located for St Peter Port.
We walked down the hill to the waters edge and the cafe down their has a fabulous view out over the little bay. We walked from the hotel around the coastal paths from the cafe, well worth doing for the views but be prepared for lots of steps, etc. along the way.
We probably stay again if we go to Guernsey but the room we stayed in would benefit from some care and attention.

The hotel offered an all inclusive package inc flights,transfers and two complimentary evening meals in a 5 day break.
Staff could not have been more friendly and efficient. We opted for a room in the garden Venue so could have been a wet walk if it had rained. Indoor pool and private cinema were among the features.
For our tastes the evening menu was a little specialised but maybe this is par for a 2 rosette restaurant.
Anyway I quibble - it was a great break

This hotel is in a good location although for those walking the approaching hill is very steep. The view from bedrooms with balconies is very good, and our room although slightly smaller than wished was nicely furnished and well maintained by cleaning staff. The hotel is well finished and quality is good. The garden area is well served with terracing and good seating accommodation. There is a well furnished lounge and a library. There are two restaurants and a tea bar. The main one is good with an excellent menu, the second is a steak house type restaurant with very good quality food, mainly looking after the younger element, but visitors should not be put off by that, as service, as it is throughout this hotel is outstanding. The staff are unobtrusive and it seemed well trained.

We enjoyed our week staying in this gorgeous hotel, nothing was too much trouble for the staff. A special mention to housekeeping, who did a superb job, every where was clean. The variety of food at breakfast catered for any dietary needs, we ate in the Ocean restaurant 3 times and all meals delicious, we had 1 meal in The Rock steakhouse, try the argentine steak it was cooked perfectly for me. We had a tour around the garden, which we thought was a brilliant activity to offer, we had a great time even in the rain.

This was our second stay at the Fermain Valley Hotel. The hotel is situated off a quiet lane which steeply winds its way down to beautiful Fermain Bay. From the first moment we arrived the staff made us welcome even offering a complimentary welcome drink in the bar. The rooms are spotless and our Gold Room offered a superb sea view over Fermain Bay. We had an evening meal in the Ocean Restaurant and the staff looked after us superbly - even providing us with complimentary glasses of champagne and piping "Happy Anniversary" in chocolate on my sweet at the end of the meal. Everyone in the restaurant seemed to want us to enjoy our special evening. The food itself was faultless and reasonably priced considering the high quality. On returning to our room we found an anniversary card from the hotel had been left for us. All in all a superb break in a fantastic hotel in a lovely location on the beautiful island of Guernsey. Thank you Fermain Valley Hotel!

We had a Gold room in the main building overlooking the bay and fantastic view beyond. The room was very comfortable with extra little touches such as fruit, chocolates and sherry!
The staff were excellent, very attentative and nothing was too much trouble.
The location is on a hillside so there are quite a lot of steps, particularly outdoors on the decking areas.
The hotel caters for holidaymakers and business customers alike. There were very few families when we stayed, but they do cater for them although I would suggest couples and more mature guests were the majority the week we were there.
The pool could have been a bit warmer but was ok.
The Ocean restaurant was very good. We didn't eat in the steakhouse but it was very busy, so can only assume popular.
Breakfast, taken in the Ocean restaurant was a good choice of cereals, fruit, pastries, cooked selection, cheeses, meats, yoghurt etc.
The only negative comment I can make is the noise from the aircraft which started around 6am and probably because I am a light sleeper I was more aware of the planes.

We arrived a bit weary after delays with Condor Ferries and our first impressions were what a lovely place to stay. We were showed to our room which was very spacious and immaculately presented. As it was dark we didn't appreciate the sea view until the morning! We ate in the Ocean restaurant, the steaks were cooked to perfection and the staff were very friendly. I had a swim in the pool on Sunday morning before breakfast which gave you so much choice it was difficult to decide what to eat. We were blessed with sunshine the whole weekend and would recommend this hotel to friends and will be back but perhaps not on the ferry!

This is our second visit to The Fermain Valley Hotel and we were not disappointed.
We Stayed in the Venue which is a steep walk for some but if you have a sea facing room it gives the most wonderful sea views. The room was very large and comfortable.
We ate in both restaurants which were excellent. The service was great and the Sea Bass particularly delicious.
Lovely gardens
Small but warm indoor pool.
The cinema is a bonus which we used. Sitting n large comfortable seats and we took our own DVD to watch.
Will definately be back again.

We booked to stay at the Fermain for four nights on a half board basis. We were not disappointed with the hotel or its location. The facilities, rooms and staff were superb, just what we had hoped for. Unfortunately the half board experience was not so good. We were only given the option to eat in the Ocean restaurant, not being a fish lover this did restrict my options. The menu was the same every night so after two nights I had to resort to having a starter and dessert. Despite this criticism I do have to say the food I did have was absolutely first class.
