We stayed at HQ Bar and Restaurant for one night during the Isle of Man TT and had a fantastic experience. We arrived early and the staff kindly let us drop off our bags in the restaurant and even gave us our room key so we could check in later without any hassle.
The hotel is charming and cozy, with an incredibly kind and welcoming team. Everyone we met was polite, helpful, and happy to answer all our questions. The on-site restaurant was excellent — we walked along the beach looking for dinner but ended up coming back and were so glad we did. The food was great, and the bar had a nice, relaxed vibe.
Breakfast the next morning was a buffet-style English breakfast served until 9:30, and it was just what we needed. Our room was clean, quiet, and very comfortable.
When it was time to leave, the staff helped us arrange a taxi, which made things super easy. Overall, it was a lovely stay and a perfect base for experiencing the TT. Highly recommended!
