Isle of Man Kid friendly Holidays

Good location on the Central Promenade not too far from the city attractions. You can get a direct bus both to the ferry terminal and to the airport. Good variety of breakfast to choose from both hot and cold If you fancy something traditional you can order the Manx kipper. There are in house bar and restaurant facilities. Both the piano bar and the brassiere serve food. The hotel does host events such as wedding receptions and gala evenings for none residents. Whilst it good business for the hotel, as a guest you feel as though your experience had been invaded by outsiders especially when I couldn’t find anywhere to sit or relax or for that matter get to the bar in the first place. For some reason in the reception and bar area they play the same “lounge music” tune over and over and over again on a continuous loop. As a customer it gets annoying but it’s the staff I feel sorry for as they must have that tune drilled into their heads by now. There are also a lot of stairs at the hotel. If you have mobility issues steps may pose a problem but they do seem to have step free options. The room was ok. Comfy bed, a radiator if you got cold and enough wardrobe and drawer storage facilities. The TV seemed to lack certain channels, one of which I watch regularly but you don’t go away to watch TV. There was a bit of a noise problem, with banging from other rooms very early in the morning but that’s common in a lot of hotels.

On a working farm out in the quiet countryside. Beautiful location and wonderful hosts. Breakfasts are amazing - the bread is to die for.

On arrival at the hotel, through the seafront entrance, you can not ignore that the carpet looks like it is from a 1990's night club and has not been cleaned since. I was then greeted with the lifts, which were in a better condition and quite clean. At check-in I was informed by the recessionist of a what the hotel offers, and doesn't offer on certain days and times. Which was a lot of information to take in after travelling for 12 hours!! An information leaflet in the room would have been easier. The room was quite clean although very dated, the bed was very comfortable. My room was on the seafront with a very small balcony and an aluminum sliding door, that did not seal well at all. I could also hear the ferry chugging in and out of the port at late evenings as well as some loud vehicles. I doubt there would be anything to stop this but some UPVC windows and doors would restrict the noise somewhat. It's not a long walk along the prom to the bars and restaurants and the Chinese restaurant below the hotel is worth a visit.

Clean room. They renovated it but the toilet a bit stinky. Firm bed
