Great stuff I'm still waiting for the ferry company to release pricing and I am also waiting for the touriest info to send me some details ref hotels B&B's as soon as I get the info I will let you folks know :thumbup:

[salem]

ok folks still waiting to confirm ferry crossing prices as they are not online yet..

however been working hard trying to find suitable accommodation, with safe/off road/secure parking area, bar/restaurant

The main problem with the island seems to be parking, most of the hotels do not have their own parking area and you have to park 'near by'. The next problem is that a lot are booked for the dates I was looking for.

However a very helpful lady told me that there is a hotel called Mount Murray which is popular with car clubs as they do have parking. I have checked today and they do have vacancies for Friday, Saturday and Sunday 27th March - 29th March.

http://www.mountmurray.com

The nice lady said that if there are a group you may be able to get a discount.

I have also found the Sefton Hotel, Harris Promenade, Douglas, Isle of Man,
They have secure parking. Rooms from £95 per night for a double.

http://www.seftonhotel.co.I'm/index.shtml



The Glen Helen Inn, Glen Helen, They have rooms £225 for the three nights, double bed and breakfast, that works out at £75 per night. (looks like they have an offer on over March too)

http://www.glenheleninn.com/index.asp



So that gives you a rough idea of hotel prices let me know what you think... :thumbup:

[Sacrificial Pawn]

Potentially interested too, will confirm ASAP once I know dates I'm snowboarding. :thumbup:

[SR-25]

Prices seem fine just looking forward to driving some nice roads with a different type of scenery and hopefully a rather well setup NA car by then

I have never been to the Isle of Man myself but from the photos it looks very nice

If you want drive on some nice roads then you need to come and join us on one of our Wales meets or on the Wales Tour click here you will love it :thumbup:

[salem]

Right I have sent emails off to a number of hotels and B&B's in the area some of which are coming back with replies which is good news

I have also contacted a company that do packages which include ferry crossing, hotel, insurance etc etc

One I have got the info I'll have a look and will pick out the best overall deal at the moment the package deal is looking the best :thumbup:

[Harv]

Ferry back to Liverpool and back home.


Info

Prices are around £150 to £170 for the ferry book early and it will be cheaper... this is based on 1 car and 2 adults

B&B's are I believe around £50 a night based on 2 sharing

So you are looking at around £160 each plus fuel and spending money.

Further details and photos will be added as I gather more information..


As with the Wales Tour I will be limiting the numbers of cars this makes it easier and more friendly..


(We will also be attending the TT practice week 29th May - 7th June if you would like to join us please contact me asap as you will need to book your ferry and we will need to book your accomodation.)

Thanks :thumbup:

Defiantly interested in some good roads Ep3 :thumbup:

[salem]

Been looking into package deals

Package holiday includes - ferry crossing/taxes etc - insurance - hotel booking

Mount Murray Hotel package - £366

Welbeck hotel package - £322

I like these options as the price is fixed and the ferry crossing over is a little hit or miss with the price as they will not give me a fixed price.

[msprig]

Yep would be definatly interested, good roads and no speed cameras :thumbup:

[salem]

Looks like I have found us a better deal, well for those that are going with a partner that is

I will get back with prices very soon.. just getting a final figure for those travelling alone, or those who want to share a room and also looking into a package deals for those travelling from Ireland.. be lovely to get to meet the Irish CTR owners

Once I have got all the details and had availablity confirmed (as it would appear the IOM have over booked on some weekend dates oops) I will post up details so get your deposits at the ready

[salem]

OK here is the deal

This is a package deal

The sailings depart on 20th March, Heysham~IOM and return on 23rd March, IOM~Heysham.

Found a lovely Hotel that has an offer on, they have their own underground car park, so parking there is very secure, however I have been informed that car crime is unheard of in the Isle of Man. It also boast a bar/restaurant, swimming pool, spa pool, steam room, sauna, gym, and Jacuzzi, if you fancy it.

The total cost, based on 2 adults travelling in 1 car, for 3 nights sharing a twin or double standard room, the total cost is £287.00, which is £129 per adult and £29 for the car.

For an atrium or sea view room the total cost per 2 adults in 1 car is £359.00, which is £129 per adult, £29 for the car and £24 per night sea view/atrium room supplement.

For one adult in a car, in a single room, the total cost goes up to £316.00, which is £129 for the offer, £44 per night single room supplement and £55 for the car.

If you want to share a room but still come in your own car the cost is £184 each, which is £129 for the package and £55 for your car.

Quick recap of price package 3 nights and ferry crossing

Standard room £287.00
Sea view room £359.00

Single room £316.00 each
Share room with own car £184 each

If you are interested in this please contact me asap as I will be booking this trip soon thanks :thumbup:
