Guest Reviews

• Dion (10/5): Very good cheap clean stay - Very continent location - friendly staff and good value for money Bathrooms a bit small - but nothing against it! Very clean

• Rina (9/5): Wonderful - The people Small room
• Wolf Tilman (9/5): -
• Loren Helen (10/5): Lovely stay - The staff were friendly and very attentive. The breakfast is generous and delicious. The facilities were spotlessly clean and the location is excellent. The single room I stayed in was quite small. For me, as I’m of average height, it was fine. But for someone who’s very tall, I’d recommend booking a double room.
• Steven (10/5): -
• Gray (10/5): Very pleasant stay indeed. - The breakfasts were great and plentiful.very friendly hosts. Can't really fault anything.
• Emyr (10/5): -
• Adrienne (8/5): Excellent - value for money, friendliness, availability and welcome of staff. - The availability and friendliness of staff. The location, which is right on the Prom and near town, walking distance Better lighting maybe for reading in room.
• Heather (10/5): -
• Ruth (10/5): - The staff were lovely, very helpful and attentive, and the breakfasts were delicious and good choices available including Devereaux Manx kippers. Lovely! Nothing.

• Sara (8/5): Nice, comfortable stay at The Island & Fairfield - We were very well looked after by our lovely hosts, Celine and Anthony. They have a wealth of local knowledge to help you make the most of your stay. Gluten free diets are catered for. The hospitality tray in the bedroom is replenished daily. Comfortable bed, good shower. Excellent location.
• Michael (10/5): -
• Ruth (10/5): Celine was very welcoming and accommodating. - Great, with restaurants and things to do within walking distance, even. I was also grateful for the electric kettle which allowed me to make tea as desired. I didn't figure out how to turn on the main overhead light in room 12, but didn't make an issue of it.
• GABRIEL (10/5): - the breakfast was really nice and the staff were really helpful
• Antoine (8/5): -
• Alma (7/5): - Standard guest house close to the sea front . Bed was comfortable but overall could probably benefit from an update. Good value when I travelled in winter. Some great pubs about a 15 minute walk further up the promenade.
• The (9/5): -
• John (8/5): -
• Kumar (9/5): -
• Steve Forfar (7/5): - Simple, basic accommodation for my quick visit to see my son and grandkids
• Dariusz (10/5): Pleasant place in Douglas - Good contact with the staff. They were very flexible in terms of leaving the luggage prior to check-in and after the check-out. The room wasn't big, but sufficient for one person. After the breakfast I didn't feel like eating for quite some time. Overall good stay. Nothing comes to my mind.
• Simfukwe (10/5): Exceptional island rooms - The island guesthouse is exceptional and clean. I enjoyed my staff there and the lady is lovely. If I have to go back, I can't hesitate to re-book the same accommodation. N/a

• Kelly (10/5): Great place to stay - The staff were very helpful and happy Absolutely nothing
• Cheryl (10/5): - The hotel is located up a side street, along the promenade, and is a minutes work to the beach and 10 minutes walk into Douglas and about a 15 minute walk to the Electric Tram Station.There is also a bus stop that drops you at the bottom of the road and buses run from the airport. So the hotel is very convenient to local facilities The hotel itself is clean and comfortable and the rooms are warm (we stayed in October).. There are tea and coffee making facilities in the rooms and a good breakfast is offered. WiFi is free. Celine and Andrew, the hosts are lovely and very helpful. My brother and I stayed at the hotel, and when our flights home were cancelled due to a storm, we made a quick phone call to Celine, who provided us with rooms at short notice. This was my first visit to the Isle of Man, and the hotel helped make the stay perfect. Can't think of anything I didn't like.
• Edel (10/5): As a solo traveler,I felt very safe there - The location is perfect as within walking distance to all down town events and shops.There was a good choice of foods for breakfast.Celine,the proprieter is very friendly and welcoming and provides is a good choice of foods for breakfast.Its a nice quiet house with lots of information available on places of interest for tourists at reception.The room was very comfortable and at kept at a comfortable temperature
• robert (8/5): Good company - Trains The weather
• Tim (8/5): Thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to the island and I hope it won't be the last. - Very good, nice sausages! Nothing!
• Shell (7/5): -
• Ibrahim (10/5): - Everything None
• Alan (10/5): Great week - Exceptional welcome, excellent breafasts Nothing not to like
• Susan (10/5): Great stay - Quiet, clean room, great selection for breakfast. Celine was very friendly and helpful in giving me directions etc.
• Elaine Claire (5/5): Good value for money - Location & friendly staff Rooms small but good value
• Jacqui (8/5): Very pleasant stay with great hosts - Proximity to ferry terminal, beach and Douglas town centre. Hosts were exceptional. Single room tiny, kept knocking things off surfaces. Booked two single rooms but we were accommodated in two separate buildings, though we ate in the same dining room. Not a problem for us but others might want to request rooms in the same building. Plenty of steps to the room, again not a problem for us but something to be aware of when booking.
• Abbas (10/5): -
• Adolf (10/5): The best place in IOM - Everything, since you arrive at this lovely place, all around move so great. Celine is very kind and supportive. Breakfast is so good and the room is cozy and warm. This added to the fascinating experience in Isle of Man is surely the best thing to do holidays. I can’t wait to be there again! Nothing to respond here ;)
• Hill (8/5): Good value & perfect for my needs and very kind & helpful staff. - Very friendly & helpful staff. Excellent location. Not much really.
• Phill (9/5): My first trip to the I.O.M.🇮🇲🏍 - The staff were great. The room was clean & comfortable and although it was small, it was ideal for me as a solo traveller. There was a wide variety of food for breakfast & the full English certainly set me up well for the day ahead. I have no complaints.👍🏻
• Alj Rich (10/5): -
• James (10/5): -
• Olga (10/5): - Прекрасное место! Удобное расположение - рядом с остановкой автобуса, который ходит от и до аэропорта. Отличный завтрак, включённый в стоимость - английский, также возможность поесть яичницу, хлопья, йогурты, тосты. Номер семейный с одной большой кроватью и двумя маленькими - очень просторный, чистый, большая ванная комната с душевой. Можно попросить оставить чемоданы после выселения, чтобы не гулять с ними до вылета или посадки на паром. Сам отель находится прямо на побережье - сразу рядом прогулочная набережная с променадом. До центра города 5 минут пешком. До трибун, с которых можно смотреть мото-гонки в период гонок - минут 30 пешком.
• Kieran (10/5): Brilliant Stay - Great stay for the bike racing. Comfort and the breakfast 10/10 Celine was helpful with my questions. I hope to return next year (If I can get a room!!!) All Great
• Rosemary (9/5): Very comfortable - Breakfast was nice, the room was comfy and clean, the people working there were really kind and helpful. Like staying with friends…but without having to help wash up 😊 The tv and internet reception…..probably not much they can do about that.
• Hayes (10/5): -
• Ian (8/5): -
• Guillermo (9/5): Un lugar estupendo - La cama, el personal y el lugar. Repetiría sin duda Lavabo pequeño
• Tony (10/5): MANX GP STAY TONY NUTTALL AND SON - Fantastic stay the host Celine and Anthony are lovely and welcoming, the place was spotless the room was a good size with everything you need for a break ...with an excellent sleep and very comfortable bed .The breakfast had lots of choice of fresh fruit , cereals and juices to offer and the cooked breakfast as high quality especially the bacon and sausages...I can't recommend this BB high enough so much so I intend staying there again in November and for the TT races next June. Nothing really it's a great BB with friendly owners spotless room and great breakfast
• Marzena (8/5): Znakomita miejscówka blisko promenady i wybone śniadanie - Śniadanie wyborne. Serwowano przysmak lokalny czyli kippers na ciepło. Mega porcja. Smaczne i soczyste. Dzień wcześniej zgłosilam zapotrzebowanie. Warto posmakować. Lokalizacja doskonała. W samym centrum Douglas, 100m od morza i blisko promenady. Bardzo dziękuję za gościnność i troskliwość podczas pobytu.
• Tom (10/5): -
• Sebastian (10/5): - Ich hatte einen sehr netten, wenn auch kurzen, Aufenthalt in Douglas und komme gerne wieder.
• Tania (10/5): Lovely place, run by lovely people - Very nice breakfast N/a
• Sarah (8/5): Would gladly stay here again - Celine the host is fantastic. Very helpful, friendly & always available if you have any queries. Excellent location in a quiet area,not even 1 minute off the main promenade. Nice cooked breakfast in the morning. Bus & horse tramway stops are right at end of road,not even 1 minute walk. Nothing to dislike,only a headboard for the bed would be nice. The Island and the Fairfield are actually 2 seperate buildings directly across from each other, so double check which one you're staying in before arrival to avoid confusion.
• Cfb (8/5): NICE BUDGET STAY - Enjoyed my stay here and also on the IOM, nicely situated centre promenade,i stayed in the single room no5 comfortable bed, and clean, with a small TV and bathroom ,small shower that worked fine , nice breakfast and friendly host ,all lived up to my expectations as a seasoned traveller, It was a very small room and bathroom but like i say it was expected,and also think i that its time for some new better quality pillows,
• Faye (10/5): Exceptional - Mattress & bed really comfy. Ensuite was great Breakfast was huge Service friendly & professional
• Geoffrey (8/5): Very good - Easy to find, quite area apart from seagulls. But what do expect by the seaside. Very good breakfast
• Kenneth (9/5): Superb - Very comfortable,good location and a nice breakfast
• Nancy (10/5): I highly recommend the Island & Fairfield. - The location was very convenient, in walking distance of many sites of interest. Celine was very accommodating when, upon arrival, we needed to drop our luggage and go immediately to visit the Manx Cat Cafe before it closed. The breakfasts were very good. We received a good deal of helpful information from Celine. The only thing that I didn't care for was having to climb a lot of stairs to my room. However, the staff was very helpful in taking my bag up to my room.
• Simpson (9/5): The Island B+B - Celine is a good host. The room was small but comfortable. Slept very well. The shower was very good. The breakfast was good. A very good b+b which i would certainly stay in again. Bus stop right at the bottom of the drive. There is nothing that i didn't like.
• Philip (8/5): Great value in an excellent location. - Excellent location. Great value. Very friendly staff. Nothing of significance. A reading light over the bed would be a nice to have, but that’s a minor issue.
• Gillian (9/5): Good value, warm welcome, clean and comfortable - Good location close to the promenade. Fair sized room (small double) with a comfy bed and small shower room. Made to feel very welcome as a solo traveller. Breakfast selection was lovely
• Barry (10/5): Great time in the Island - Very friendly and helpful couldn't do anymore for you will use again Nothing
• Emma (8/5): Very good - The property was perfect, lovely location, spotlessly clean and staff were very welcoming with a great yummy breakfast!

• Susan (8/5): Celine and Anthony are lovely hosts providing a very comfortable stay for exploring Isle of Man - Celine and Anthony were super helpful with my request for storing luggage on arrival and departure. The hotels are in an excellent location to use as a base for exploring the Isle of Man nothing
• Judith (9/5): Superb - Everything Nothing
• Diane (8/5): Very good - Comfy bed and good shower, excellent breakfast choices. Easy walk into town centre and to bus routes. Excellent communication re check in and other details.
• Lois (9/5): Nice place , great hostess! - Celine was the most attentive and considerate host I’ve ever had…and I’ve travelled a lot! She stayed up late to welcome me and my bicycle. My bike was kept safe and accessible and I was given keys to leave early. Breakfast was great. The room was quite small but had spaces to keep my things tidy. Celine was also helpful with advise on exploring the island. I should have booked another night. 😁
• Lee (8/5): Very good - Lovely hosts and the location was quite good for many purposes. The rooms are basic, but clean and have most of what you need. Rooms restocked every day and clean towels if required. May be a personal preference, but the beds are on the soft side, along with the pillows. Parking can be a bit of a pain on busy days, but there's often something available on the sea front. Just he prepared for a short walk of needed. That's the case for many in the area though and locals too, so it's not a criticism of the hotel.
• Olaronke (8/5): Very good -
• Katieruff (9/5): Great location, quiet, lovely staff. - Lovely host Celine, who was great in contacting us before the trip. The rooms were cozy, clean and bedding super soft. Ideal location for walking into the main shops, restaurants or the other direction to electric railway, but far enough away to be quiet... apart from the seagulls The seagulls shouting at 3am!! :D
