Falcon's Nest Hotel

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.

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.

Have just got home after having the most delicious, hearty, wonderfully homemade carvery at The Port, in the Falcons Nest. My only grumble is I normally work Sundays so don't get enough opportunities to enjoy the joys of a Sunday carvery. All staff interactions were spot on, from the minute I blew in till we all waddled out. Heartily recommend.😋😋😋

We had read the reviews and had booked prior to doing so, obviously we had reservations but need not have worried,|Although undergoing renovations we were not impacted at all.|The room was lovely, good decor, spacious and most of all clean.|For some reason our heating didn’t work so immediately the staff went and acquired an oil filled electric radiator, it certainly did the trick.|The staff were amazing and extremely friendly, food was very tasty and portions ample.|Certainly a hotel for future trips to the island.

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.

After being let down by booking.com for reasons unknown we ended up in the Falcons Nest. What a great find. Undergoing some refurbishment at the minute. A classic Manx style hotel with lovely staff and excellent food. View from the room was amazing. Really enjoyed our stay. I’ll share some photos from the bedroom window. Recommended.

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.|

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.|

I just returned from a weekend stay at the Falcons Nest hotel in Port Erin. I was very impressed with the hotel and service and can not believe that it is only rated at two stars. Surely it deserves a higher rating. It is an older hotel and probably needs a paint job, but there is a great historical feel to the place. After an extensive search, researching all the hotels and bed and breakfasts on the Isle of Man, we decided Port Erin would be the most ideal place to stay. Douglas was a bit too busy, Port Erin was a nice and relaxed seaside town and best of all, it was right at the end of the steam train line. The hotel is only a block past the train station. The location is directly in the middle of the Port Erin Bay. Perfect for getting down to the beach. We stayed in room 1, which is on the first floor above the bar area. I would highly recommend this room as it has breathtaking waterfront views of Port Erin Harbour and is on the corner so you get the views from the side as well. This room had a huge bathroom and despite being a one bedroom also had this smaller little walk-in closet sized room with an extra single bed and a window. It was perfect for our small son staying with us. There was some noise from being directly over the bar, but even on a Saturday night, it didn't go too late. Service was great and all of those I encountered from the bartender, to the breakfast server, maintenance and the front desk people were all especially friendly. The breakfast which was included in served buffet style and has all the regular English breakfast items (eggs, black and white pudding, bacon, sausage, potato cakes as well as toast, cereals, yogurt and multiple juices). I have recommended this hotel to quite a few friends and encouraged visits to the Island based on a great stay which I had.

Ordered at 12:38 (as my receipt says) and it is now 1:32 and no meal in sight. Still waiting. We did have our appetizer, but that was 30 mins ago. We were ordering when another two people came in, and they were told by the lovely (in appearance, not demeanor) waitress who worked at the counter to sit down and she will bring them menus. We sat at our table for 20 mins and received and finished our appetizer while they sat getting upset that she never did bring them their menus. I asked my partner if it would be odd if I went and brought the two bored and frustrated folks some menus (I knew where they were and had grabbed some on my own for us when we came in as no one was around), and he said, yes, that would be odd, so I didn't, haha. The large group next to us have also just received their meals (after they also asked for menus several times and eventually grabbed their own) and they came in a half hour after us. We had also asked for water. Never got it. So an hour here and no one to check on us, bring us a glass of water, and let us know that our order was at least in the often. Will update when/if we get our food.

I'm giving 3* for the pub, but I'll give 5* for the Queenies, Bacon and Garlic Butter appetiser - delicious.
