Bed and Blueberry Two Bed Suite for 2,3, or 4 People

One again, we've enjoyed a wonderful stay at Bed and Blueberry. This was our ninth or tenth stay with Cindy and that should say it all - she is just the perfect host, friendly and welcoming. As always, the accommodation was comfortable and spotlessly clean. The layout of the house has been changed a little since our last visit and can now be arranged as two 5-bed family apartments, one on each floor - a really worthwhile improvement. There's a small, but well-equipped kitchen on each floor, which we found completely up to our needs. The house is located in a quiet side street, shielded from noise and traffic, but just a minute or two on foot from the promenade and the tram and bus stops. We couldn't wish for a nicer place to stay and are already making plans for next year!

The last time that I was in the Isle of Man was 40 years ago! It hasn't altered much, which is a good thing IMO, however, what has changed is the standard of accommodation and the approach of the accommodation owners. This B&B is ideally located in the heart of Douglas; walking to the beach, the main shopping area, places to eat and drink and to seek out entertainment is easy and Cindy will point you to your ideal, as she is so knowledgeable about the island. I stayed for a long weekend, along with a friend and we occupied the whole of the first floor. The accommodation is flexible and can accommodate a single person, through to a family of four. Kitchen and bathroom facilities are more than generous and you can come and go whenever you wish. The IOM is a small island, but does exhibit extremes of geography and weather (see the TT!). The facilities that Cindy provides will ensure that whatever the weather, you can have clean dry clothes after your endeavours. If you take a vehicle, parking is not impossible, but don't expect to pull up outside any venue; however it is 'free'. Cindy is a superb host and her partner, James will provide you with all that you need to know about the ferries to and from the island. Finally, don't pass the Fairy Bridge without saying 'hello' to the Little People as that will ensure a safe, enjoyable holiday and your eventual return, even after 40 years,
