Isle of Man Reviews

'I don't want to go to Idaho, I don't want to go to Tennessee. Let me spend a while on Mona's Isle -That's the life for me' So ran the lyrics of a jolly seaside song played at the Manx Museum over archive footage of Victorian tourists enjoying the Douglas promenade. While the jaunty piano and George Formby-esque ...  Read the complete review

Having lived on the Island all of my life (20 years) and having lived in England for University for two years, I can really see both the ups and downs of the Island. Pros: (1) Very low crime rate - I always feel safe on the Island, in England I constantly was watching my back! (2) Small community means that everyone ...  Read the complete review

My opinion of the isle having worked there on a M & S referb for 2 weeks, was if I knew where the power switch was on the mainland I would have turned it off! ferry's over priced ( that's what you get with no competition and a closed market), manx people (born there) up their own backsides wouldn't "p" on them if they were on fire. but hey that's the view of someone not on holiday and seeing it for what it is.

This review is of the Isle of Man, a large island situated between Ireland and the UK in the Irish Sea. The journey for me began by ferry, using The Steam Packet Company's boat, "Ben-my-Chree" which takes just over three hours to cross. You can also however fly by plane, and Easyjet have launched a new service from ...  Read the complete review

Okay so it's not Ibiza (not sure i'd want it to be) but the Isle of Man is a gem in the middle of the Irish Sea, this island of around 70,000 inhabitants makes an excellent destination for a long weekend break. Not sure there would be enough to do for a fortnight's holiday. One problem with the Isle of Man is it is ...  Read the complete review

Basing your opinion of the Isle of Man upon what you've seen of it from the infamous Fast Show sketches would quite probably be the worst thing you could do. Not only are the sketches utterly unfunny and devoid of humour of any kind, they are an insult to the Manx people and have a basis built on sand. Manx sand, at that. I ...  Read the complete review

I have nothing against the Island, on contary I am very fond of the place, my parents still live there and I ...  Read the complete review

There is lots to do and see from the Laxey wheel an amazing sight which can be reahed by tram up the mountain to snaefell. It was good to get on a tram it was ...  Read the complete review

Today I have many relatives who live there including an Aunt (who was born there and now lives in Peel) and a Cousin living in Castletown. Whether it was the Manx in me calling me to the mother country or the chance for a cheapish ...  Read the complete review

The Isle of Man is an island which I always fancied visiting after my dad told me about going there as a young man. Having now been there, I cannot see myself going there again. It is a nice, clean, picturesque island, that I cannot deny, but it is not all it is cracked-up to be. I really could not get over how expensive it ...  Read the complete review
