Trevelyan Hotel

I went solo with motorbike for four nights, it was a base and I’m pretty aware and open minded. Perfect location, beach right over the road and bike parking right outside. Walkable to night life and railway etc both directions. Secure at night and clear entry system after hours. It’s a traditional place which is fairly quiet outside TT etc, so don’t expect a huge atmosphere. It’s not modern/Scandinavian, it’s old fashioned and basic. The staff were perfectly hospitable and responsive, but I’m sure they could be sharp if pushed. If you’re realistic and you’ve done your research it’s fine, I paid about £46 a night including breakfast so be realistic. Of course it would be good if the lift worked but it’s clear it doesn’t and probably won’t. So yes it’s a climb to the room, I’m 64 and managed fine. My room was small but it was a single, no view but I didn't ask for one as I would only be there in evening, if I was going to spend my break in the hotel I would probably upgrade or go elsewhere. En suite shower was fine but I’m fairly athletic so anyone of bigger build might struggle more. Sink was small but again all functional for what I wanted. Breakfast was fine, some tables right by the window were great with nice views. I had been worried by the bad reviews but I guess bad reviews are always likely from some if they thought they were going somewhere upmarket. 7/10 would be my score, if you want 10/10 then get your bank ready and go somewhere else. It did me just fine, I’d go back, but I can see elements of what some reviews are saying. It was clean, secure, great location, good breakfast, and great value for money.

Nice clean Victorian guesthouse with lots of charm, good hot breakfast..lovely eggs, with great service ,nice sea view ,close to shops and bus services ,I went in October there may have been a few ghosts around,I would stay again,good value and the people on Isle of Man are friendly and helpful to tourists .
