프리미어 인 더글라스 - 아일 오브 맨

Spent 3 nights whilst over for the TT. Great location - close to the shops, and bus station and not a bad walk up to the TT fan zone/grandstands (30mins) Very friendly and helpful staff. Standard Premier inn rooms which were clean and seemed recently refurbished. No issues with noise, plenty of tea and coffee, fresh towels and housekeeping if you wanted. If the price is good then I don’t think there’s a better option for families in Douglas. Caught the bus to and from the airport - £2.80 each way (taxi would be £24 each way). You get off on Victoria Street which is less than a 5 mins walk and you get on on Lord Street which is just over a 5 mins walk. Go Saver day passes are worth it if you’re doing more than one bus journey a day, you can buy them from the drivers. Go explore cards are great if you want to do the steam train/electric tram/snaefell/tramway or a combination of all plus bus access-they can be bought from the main terminals. We did the steam train, tramway, electric tram and snaefell and all were well worth doing. Also visited Peel and Ramsay, probably more to do in Peel but worth the trips and the bus routes go along a lot of the TT course which is interesting. Ate at Porters (burgers), Just Pizza and Pasta and Aura (Indian), all very good. Aura probably the best tasting and quality Indian we’ve had in the UK. We were first timers at the TT and spent day 1 in Grandstand section 2 which had a great view of the start/finish as well as good audio and large TV screens showing the rest of the track. Day 2 we spent in Noble Park Grandstand, around 500yds down from the start line and a great view of the bikes coming towards and past you as well as the pit lane access road, seats 1-9 in each row was closest to the track. No TVs and the sound wasn’t as clear.

We are extremely grateful for Hannah and Kenny, thank you so much for going above and beyond for us, when we come back we will be staying at the premier inn, Thanks again, highly recommended to stay here due to staff and how helpful they can be!!
