Story

One of 15 loophole towers built 1778-1779 to deter French attacks during the American Revolutionary War. Percy Ferguson's family lived in the tower from the 1860s and ran a ferry service between Fermain Bay and St Peter Port after WWII. Bequeathed to the National Trust of Guernsey in 2002 by Percy Ferguson. Renovation by CCD Architects and RG Phillips began in 2017, opening as self-catering accommodation in Spring 2019.

Fermain Tower is self-catering accommodation situated by the shore of Fermain Bay, one of Guernsey's coastal settings. Originally an 18th Century lookout point, the tower has undergone renovation to become a unique self-catering getaway. Arranged over three floors and a roof deck, it comprises a series of rooms and spaces connected by ladder-style steps, a circular staircase, and an actual no-frills ladder. —
