Falcon's Nest Hotel

We visited this hotel a few times over the week on our Christmas trip. The first time was just for drinks, it wasn't late but there was only a few people in, when we were on our second drinks the bar staff decided to hoover up around us and put the chairs up on the tables..... This was very rude. The second visit was for breakfast, the food was very good but service was slow and the staff lacked knowledge. We called in again on Boxing Day night and again it was quiet and they started to close and clean up around us.... again very rude. I won't visit again if I go back to Port Erin as this establishment does not seem to want custom.

All the team are very friendly and helpful, and the location was perfect for our stay. The restaurant had great food and the included breakfast was perfect. The room we stayed in was a little dated, but clean. My only negative feedback would be the bed, mattress and duvet really are in need of update as very worn and offered very little support or warmth. Overall a pleasant stay.

Well this hotel has been around along time. My main issue is 4 star prices for a 2/3 star hotel. Old rooms tired, tatty. Bathrooms horrible, toilet dont flush properly. Shower wrong end of bath, can hardly access it. Food downstairs. Ok. But you cant really get frozen chips wrong.

The main Falcons Nest hotel is undergoing a major renovation. However, we took one of their recently-completed self-catering apartments situated just 50 yards from the main hotel. This building, of eight apartments, has a ramped access and a good-sized lift. Our apartment was for four persons maximum (bedrooms were one double and one twin). The apartment was roomy, clean and fresh, and the kitchen has all the usual self-catering equipment. There are plenty of pubs, cafes, supermarkets and take-aways within a few minutes walk, so there was never a problem getting supplies. These apartments are less than 150 yards from the popular sandy beach, so beach and promenade are handy for a gentle evening stroll. There are also a number of good walks to be had from Port Erin, whether seaside or cliff-top. You can, for instance, do the somewhat strenuous cliff-top walk to the south and go seal-spotting off the Calf of Man some 2 miles away. The Manx Steam Railway station is very near to the apartment building, so getting a train to Castletown or Douglas is easy, and the Douglas terminus is handy for the start of the Manx Electric Railway. Road links are good, making travel to visit other attractions on the Island easy. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful, whether on the phone when making the booking, or in person, and overall these apartments make an excellent base for a self-catered break.

Common areas are clean and modern. Staff very welcoming. The actual bedrooms are dated and tatty. The mattress was so old and uncomfortable I didn’t stay. I had a colleague over from the UK and he booked in here due to our business being local, the only good thing he had to say was the breakfast was good. Sub standard room for £95.00

Can't wait for the renovation to be finished. The scaffolding has been up for at least 6 months. Traa dy liooar? Reception and restaurant have been nicely refurbished but thats about as far as it goes. There is no lift and the stairs are fairly narrow, not ideal if you have heavy luggage. The corridor leading to the bedrooms has signs of damp and mouldy plaster. The carpet is well worn and threadbare in places. The layout is very confusing too, and the Exit signs are easy to miss. My room was clean and comfortable enough though dated. The walllights over the bed didnt work and some curtain hooks were missing (broken) . Honestly is it such a major job fixing things like this? The TV remote was faulty so it's just as well there wasn't anyone in the room next door because I couldn't adjust the volume. At least the plumbing and heating worked. The tea tray was replenished daily - I liked the biscuits. A couple of fruit teas would have been nice rather than just standard Tetley. For the price I expected better. Very limited breakfast menu though what was available was really nicely cooked. Cannot fault the staff.
