We stayed here for three nights on a Caterham 7 driving weekend and were very pleased with the hotel. The staff were very helpful, the food was great and the location was perfect - just 10 minutes drive from the ferry terminal and 10 minutes to the TT grandstand and course. Great trip.

Stayed here for one night on business in May to keep costs down. Good value decent size clean room. Mattress on the bed needed replaced as it wasn't particularly comfortable but otherwise no complaints. Wi fi worked well and was easy to connect to and didn't regularly cut you off. Breakfast was excellent. Bit of a walk though to the... More

I've stayed here 3 times now and enjoy it more each time. It gets all the basics right - comfortable rooms, decent showers, good food (excellent steaks), friendly service, real ale, wifi that works. Parking can be tricky, but that applies to all the hotels round here. Excellent value-for-money.

Brenda and I spent a week here in mid-March. When we booked, we thought that we would arrive at a 'run of the mill' guest house. Certainly, that is what was indicated by the very reasonable prices. How wrong we were, this is high quality wrapped in a smallish package. The Mereside, together with 2 others situated nearby, is owned... More

I stayed at the Mereside with my friend who is disabled. It is very wheelchair friendly with a lift to the bedrooms. It had a wet room which was well equipped for disabled users. The staff were really helpful and friendly. They couldn't do any more to make you feel welcome. The food was lovely and everywhere was spotless. I... More

The Mereside is a good solid guesthouse with some great staff that make you feel like one of the family - and fantastic value for money. I would recommend to a friend but for my next trip to the Isle of Man I may check out other options. Room - I had a spacious room with a big shower room... More

My husband & I stayed at Mereside Guest House for 4 nights during our first visit to Isle of Man together with my in-laws. We had initially inquired with Glen Mona but they were full so the ‘sister’ property, Mereside was suggested, and we had no regrets! It was a perfect location – close to the center of Douglas and...
