Sea Breeze Guest House

Not the best place I...

Liked: Central location off promenade.Easy access to Derby Castle and town.Very clean.
Disliked: No tea/coffee maker as stated on booking.com - a kettle was provided which stopped working three days into my stay. Messaged number given, left request on booking.com message board - no reply. I spoke to the guy who appeared in the breakfast room each morning about it but no replacement kettle appeared!Light in lobby outside my room (1) not working- difficult to see keyholePlug for sink had no rubber seal ring so drained as trying to use it.Minute TV - poor picture.Poor Wi-Fi signalHot water for shower not always hot enough.For ‘toiletries’ read ‘tiny round soap bar’Breakfast is just a 8:00 - 9:00 time slot.Provided items were cereals, yoghurt, orange juice, croissants, bread and fruit with tea/coffee.The same bread was in the bin all week and I found two slices with mould spots.The ham in the fridge was expiry-dated April 25th and was still there on my last day of May 4th. I did not attempt to eat it or the cheese !Outside my room located at the back a fan/cooler ran up at 06:15 daily and went on/off constantly- luckily I had many early departures.The bed was very low (luckily not an issue for me) and I had about 300mm to get around the end of the bed and the wall.

Cheap and cheerful but space...

Liked: The guest house was spotlessly clean and the bed comfortable. The location is close the middle of the promenade.
Disliked: The breakfast offering was limited and the rooms and shower was very small. Items in the fridge were out of date and were still in there when we checked out a week later!

Really enjoyed our stay at...

Liked: Great stay.Good breakfast - cereals, bread, cheese, nice ham, yogurt, coffee tea etc.Nice clean rooms, decorated to a v good standard.
Disliked: All good!

Lovely place, nice area, really...

Liked: Easy to find, room / keys easy to access. Nice clean room
Disliked: Could do with plug sockets at bedside

Pleasant, peaceful and practical.

Liked: The dining room was in a dark alcove, but once I 'saw the light', the fruit, cereal, toast and tea options were all very appetising.
Disliked: I never saw any other guest and only spoke to Christine at the start and end of my stay; so I would have welcomed a little more sociability, even though the main purpose of my visit was to take part in the Manx Amateur Play Festival at the Gaiety theatre.

Ok

Disliked: No full English breakfast as promised and paid for

Good value. Christina the manageress...

Liked: Adequate breakfast. Very convenient location.
Disliked: Water pressure in the shower not great.

I would definitely use again.

Liked: A wider range would have been good at extra cost, but would need cooking facilities, which might not be available.
Disliked: As above.

Lovely B'n'B, definitely recommended!

Liked: Nice little B'n'B close to Douglas beach. The bed was comfy and everything was lovely and clean. There was hand-sanitizer in dispensers which was a major plus as it's sadly missing in most public buildings these days. It was very much a self-serve affair. There was a key in a lock box with which I let myself in. Instructions were sent via a booking.com message as to where everything was. Breakfast was also self-serve - continental with a decent selection of things to eat and drink. The one member of staff I met (she came to service my room) was friendly and helpful. I'd definitely recommend Sea Breeze and would love to stay here again.
Disliked: Parking is a problem. A couple of times I managed to park in the street, but most of the time I had to park a couple of streets away. You'll need to get a parking disc (free from the ferry terminal) to park pretty much anywhere in Douglas. My towel had a hole in the middle, although this was immediately replaced when I brought it to the attention of room service.
