Trevelyan. This is not a hotel for tourists or visitors to The Isle of Man. It is a hostel for lone single men who are not tourists. I suspect funded by the local authority. There are no families or women staying there. There is a weird atmosphere, the reception staff hide in a locked staff room, only appearing when someone rings the doorbell attached to the empty reception desk. I booked to stay 7 nights but left after 1. (And booked elsewhere) I went for a drink in the bar upon arrival, they don’t open it, there were 2 men sleeping on the sofas in the bar area. The TV in my room had no signal. I could not secure the lock in my room from inside because it had been tampered with. They seem so proud that the lift doesn’t work that they tell me it’s mentioned on their website (why not just get it repaired?) When I complained, before leaving the next morning, to the formidable manageress/owner, Mrs Bridgette McGuire, she was threatening & personally abusive. “I’ll throw you in the sea, ‘cos you need a good wash” & “get out you baldy coot” she said, (I am bald). Hardly the behaviour of someone running a respectable establishment. She had all the charm of a spray of diarrhoea down a flaky brick wall (with the smell).
