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.

Good as a base

The space was comfortable as a double for 1 person. I feel it might have been a little small if I'd had a companion but it worked well for just me. A good base to explore and good value for money. Personally I would have preferred a larger communal space in the hotel but this might not be a feature of properties locally...from the outside many seemed to be similarly set up. The staff were lovely and welcoming and the space was very clean.

Served a purpose but wouldn’t go back

Stayed one nights ght during TT 25, check in was the k and helpful we arrived early and reception said we could leave our bags and yse the disabled toilet to get changed out of M/C clothing which was good We were then told our rooms were not at the hotel we had checked into they were a walk aling and down the street in other B&B’s the iwners had bought, A pain when carrying lits of luggage and helmets etc. The room was ok nothing special hairs in the ahowere tray, empty toilet roll on holder, a hair bobble on the floor, generaly dusty Blinds looked broken thought best not to touch them The price dor what you got was extortionate even for a busy TT week, the price this week is less is nearly 2/3 less Breakfast was average not very hot, noone explained the aet up, where coffee etc was you had to ask. The radio was on full blast, twice other people asked dir it to be turned down It did the job but I wouldn’t go back,

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.

Perfect Stay for Isle of Man TT

We stayed at HQ Bar and Restaurant for one night during the Isle of Man TT and had a fantastic experience. We arrived early and the staff kindly let us drop off our bags in the restaurant and even gave us our room key so we could check in later without any hassle. The hotel is charming and cozy, with an incredibly kind and welcoming team. Everyone we met was polite, helpful, and happy to answer all our questions. The on-site restaurant was excellent — we walked along the beach looking for dinner but ended up coming back and were so glad we did. The food was great, and the bar had a nice, relaxed vibe. Breakfast the next morning was a buffet-style English breakfast served until 9:30, and it was just what we needed. Our room was clean, quiet, and very comfortable. When it was time to leave, the staff helped us arrange a taxi, which made things super easy. Overall, it was a lovely stay and a perfect base for experiencing the TT. Highly recommended!
