The staff all go out of the way for you to enjoy your stay even to putting the heating on the last two nights as the temperature was a bit cooler. You will be very pleased with the facilities, comfy bed , nice clean facilities and a few mins walk from the town centre. I even enjoyed a sea view from my bedroom . Only drawback it is up a little hill not too far but if you have walking difficulties it takes it out of you a bit

The hotel/guesthouse is a bit tired looking and our room was definitely not 4 star. Curtains coming off rails bedside light broken ceiling fans didn’t work. Breakfast was good enough but could have been hotter. Bar area good and bar staff nice.

If you’re going to the TT this is the perfect location. It’s a short walk to the TT village, a short walk to the beach and promenade. Ash, B, Dara, and Phil (as well of the rest of the crew that we didn’t meet personally) took amazing care of us, making our stay a wonderful experience. We had a 3-year-old with us and they were accommodating to her as well. Great time, great people and great property.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Basic, value for price. Good breakfast and friendly staff. Was in another block away from hotel, that was a bit dated and with a rather musty smell. Room clean, basic. Dated TV with broken remote. Tea and coffee facilities in room, but kettle inexplicably on a very narrow shelf by the door, that is way too small and insecure for something potentially full of boiling water. This is an accident waiting to happen. Overall, value for money re price paid, and only really slept in room. Not a bad choice fora budget break in the lovely IOM Tho suggest some attention is needed to facilities in rooms.
