Planning IOM Accommodation needed

[Robbi]

Evening All,

Not sure if this is the right place to post this ( mods please move if appropriate )

Last minute decision to go to the IOM TT again this year, looking to take a mate who has never been despite being a life long biker with the injuries to show.

We are looking for three nights accommodation, 2nd 3rd and 4th June but appear to have left it too late and any that are available want a full weeks rental.

If anyone has any pointers, advice or even offers I be very interested to hear from you. ( payment is obviously no issue.)

Many thanks

Robbi

Ker-phooey....do you value your sanity?

(Have been for the Grand Prix...never the TT...)

You are asking a biggy thing indeed.

Theres stuff on the Tynwald website, I believe, people offering accommodation to visitors.

There are also campsites.

(I believe they also do Wild camping on the IOM, saw it on the DoE website on visiting the island...)

Evening Tengu.

I've been to both the TT and the Manx GP many many times over the past ( ahem) many years... My boss who bless him is a lot younger than me is desperate to go ( he's 49) so as we both ride bikes I said I'd take him and look after him. we have the ferry booked but now need accommodation

Living in hope.

Maybe ask them?

I would ask my friend but she has downsized so she could not put you up.

What sort of thing are you looking for precisely?

 

[Robbi]

Two blokes, prefer a bedroom each, don't mind self catering, secure bike parking

That's about it really

No camping?

No camping?

I would happily camp but my boss has quite serious ongoing mobility issues from motorcycle crashes and needs a decent bed and hygiene facilities

I am not optimistic but I will contact my friend.

Have you considered an advertisement in the local paper?

No, no I hadn't but I wonder if I can get IOM papers on line and check out the.... For let section

Great idea, thank you.
