Melrose Guest House

This place is well hidden in a residential street right behind the lively Market Street and the promenade. It's a slightly older building, so please be prepared to climb a few steep stairs. The host, Peter, is absolutely amazing. He's very friendly, helpful and accessible in case some assistance is required. And he's there to cook a full breakfast each morning, which was an absolute delight. As the place is in a residential street, it's quiet at night, yet close to all amenities like shops, supermarkets and pubs. I found my room to be clean, and the shared amenities were clearly cleaned on a daily basis, too. If I'm in a position to visit the Isle of Man again, I'll definitely check if this place has a room available for me.

Clean room, very friendly service with essy check in at the guesthouse, full english breakfast everyday with cereal choices and juice available. Location is very central, walkable distance to the ferry station, bus stop and the city centre.

Peter, the owner, can't do enough for you...just wants to make sure you are happy and comfortable. His knowledge of His island is immeasurable...obviously loves where he lives and instills a want on you to visit it all, we will be coming back to do just that 😉

Great stay, convenient location. Thankyou. I took a short notice 4 night stay during the 2025 Manx GP/Classic TT. The excellent host Peter must be mentoned for his efficiency, friendliness and overall knowledge of the Isle of Man. The property is 15 mins walk from the Douglas ferry terminal/bus terminal and 25 mins walk to the TT/Manx GP paddock/pits area with Bray Hil approx 20 mins walk. Also only 5 mins walk down to the beach/promenade so ideally suited for ferry foot passengers. Thoroughly recommended.

This is the second time we have stayed there. Peter, the host, was very accommodating even changing our room to the one that we stayed in before. The breakfast is very good and sets you up for the day. It’s a very short walk to the shops from the guest house.

Very comfortable base for our trip to the IOM which suited our budget well. We didn’t need a 5* hotel, we wanted somewhere clean and comfortable to sleep, which is exactly what we got. The rooms were cleaned daily, with fresh towels if required. Tea and coffee making facilities were provided.The en suite was great, plenty of hot water, soap & shower gel provided. The bed was very comfortable and the breakfasts were superb. Peter couldn’t have done more for us, the perfect host. Melrose is situated centrally, close to restaurants and the promenade, although it is up a very steep hill so it was also a keep fit holiday 😀. There are stairs to climb to reach the bedrooms and no lift, so less abled people may find it difficult.
