This is the second time we have stayed there. Peter, the host, was very accommodating even changing our room to the one that we stayed in before. The breakfast is very good and sets you up for the day. It’s a very short walk to the shops from the guest house.

Great stay, convenient location. Thankyou.

I took a short notice 4 night stay during the 2025 Manx GP/Classic TT. The excellent host Peter must be mentoned for his efficiency, friendliness and overall knowledge of the Isle of Man. The property is 15 mins walk from the Douglas ferry terminal/bus terminal and 25 mins walk to the TT/Manx GP paddock/pits area with Bray Hil approx 20 mins walk. Also only 5 mins walk down to the beach/promenade so ideally suited for ferry foot passengers. Thoroughly recommended.

Look, it’s a guesthouse not the Ritz! Room was small but perfectly functional and newly fitted out. Property itself slightly stuck in a time warp but really well managed and friendly. Excellent breakfast.
