Tynwald Apartments

Central to town for eating and socialising

Only having 1 set of keys was a bit tricky especially when your with a group.

The property was very handy for all things in Douglas and the owners have made an effort to make it comfortable, given the limited space.

The information cards weren’t there when I arrived and I couldn’t access the wifi or tv for several hours. There was supposed to be a welcome pack but there was nothing other than a few tea bags - no milk to have with them though! There was a lack of crockery (eg no cereal bowls). There is a large outdoor space, which would probably be nice in good weather, but people were allowed to smoke there (ashtrays were provided) and my apartment filled with the smell of cigarette smoke from other occupants smoking when I opened the windows.

Space was plentyful large rooms

Considering the size of the bathrooms the shower cubicles were very small

A very spacious apartment - well maintained and excellent facilities.

Quite an uphill climb from the sea front to the apartment which may be problematic for other families, although we enjoyed the exercise

I could tell that the studio apartment had been recently refurbished, it is bright, and thanks to the high ceiling feels airy and larger than it is. The layout, with separate sleeping, lounge, dining and kitchen areas spread the length of the long apartment also adds to the feeling of space. The sofa is comfortable, the outside seating area an added bonus I was not expecting. The kitchenette has a fridge/freezer, kettle, toaster and microwave, so perfect if you want cereal and toast breakfast or to heat a ready meal, If you plan to make cooked breakfasts or make evening meals from scratch you will need to go for the larger apartment. If the apartment is available next time I travel to the Isle of Man I will probably book again.

The entry hall and stairs felt narrow and dark, I only had a small back pack but felt I would have struggled with larger cases, and this may make the property less suitable for some one with limited mobility. There was a problem with the hot water in the hand basin and kitchenette when I arrived, due to an electrician having let the owners down, however Amy is an approachable host, and we came to an amicable agreement to resolve this.

Nicely furnished, near the beach and restaurants Manx museum etc. Amy was quick to respond to my queries.

We were disappointed with no‘welcome pack’ Instructions for WiFi were incorrect. No milk bread wine left for us .. it was a late arrival and we informed them about this. The bedding was cheap flimsy stuff no mattress protectors either! Coffee beans left but no grinder. Wine glasses were red coloured glass ..not good . Outside area not appealing at the price we expected a few touches .

The place is conveniently located near bus and railway station. There ia convenient store nearby. The house is well equipped

Walking distance into town and all amenities

The entrance was unappealing, poor quality door, the handle was missing and when we entered all the cleaning items, travel cot were at the bottom of the stairs which is not a great first impression. There was a lot of stairs and not easy with a heavy suitcase, definitely something that should be noted on the page incase someone is unable to manage more that a few steps. The main bedroom has a HUGE en-suite with a tiny shower squashed into the corner (wouldn't be suitable for a larger built person) and really poor pressure so having a shower wasn't great. The window opened so wide it was hard to reach it to close. We were 5 but there was only one set of keys which meant when a couple stayed out, we had to take the keys from safe go upstairs to the top floor to open the flat, come back down and put them into the key safe.

Furnished to a very high standard , close to everything, owners are super friendly and helpful, will be back next year💯

Nothing could have been better
