I’m sure I’m not the first person to say this and I doubt I’ll be the last either, but all of the best of what the Isle of Man has to offer is away from Douglas. The Glen Helen Hotel is well situated then in the central west part of the island, perfect for those that prefer to explore more of what the Isle of Man is about.
The Glen Helen hotel is actually situated on the TT course about 4 miles away from Peel and approximately 10 miles from Ramsey. Glen Helen itself is one of the islands better known glens and makes for a very pleasant walk. You are also within easy distance of St Johns and Tynwald Hill as well as the shops at Tynwald Mills. Whilst this location isn’t great for those without some form of transport (there is ample free parking available if you want to bring a car or bike) taxis to and from Peel/Ramsey are not overly expensive (Peel being a 5 minute ride).
The Glen Helen Hotel features 17 en-suite rooms, each has TV, the tea and coffee facilities you’d expect and access to a wireless network for the internet. There is also a large 120 seat function room available for hire for those thinking of holding a special occasion. The Glen Helen is also a popular spot for locals to eat thanks to the Restaurant which offers a good selection of dishes at affordable prices. The Sunday lunch is especially well thought off.
Overall then the Glen Helen Hotel is a great place to stay for those not afraid of being a little out of the way. It is always popular but over the TT fortnight especially is an incredibly sought after place to stay.
