Nine Yards Bell Tents at the TT - Castletown

Clean

No drying rack despite it being listed as in the tent. Breakfast not available for 3 out of our 5 days despite it being listed as available.

The bell tents were big and the beds inside were very comfortable so we had a decent night every night. Could do with a small table per bed but we managed with the one. Staff were always visible so if you had any questions someone was always around to help. You were close to the facilities so always helpful especially on the wet days, the bar was decent and with it being small people just got talking so added to the experience. Plenty of room to park bikes on paved areas so not needed to park on the grass, I also felt very safe and my bike secured while staying. Not far to walk into castletown so location was good. Tents had a light were carpeted and there was a mirror hung on the main pole with one table. The tent was spacious and we never had any issues, good duvet and two comfy pillows with blanket kept us cosy.

Nothing I didn't like but worth mentioning is the advertising of the bell tents - when I booked it back in 2024 was advertised as a luxury tent, with it even saying there was champagne, cookies and fruit for guests, when I mentioned this on arrival they didn't know what I was talking about. I felt I had been misled but I will stress i was happy with my stay. I just think it's worth looking at how it's being worded. I wasn't the only one to question the advertising during my stay as you get talking to other guests quite a few were shocked at the shower facilities. Some people may not be bothered, but for some it may.. so the showers would usually be communal but they have put shower curtains in between to give you privacy but it sounds like it was all too close for comfort for some. Also just because it could be something worth looking at in future, people coming here during this time to watch the racing are on their bikes so aren't carrying everything with them or unable to do so but wanted to mention how great it would have been if a hairdryer was available, even having access to a tea and coffee station out of hours of a cafe being open would have been fantastic, we experienced a few rainy days and would have to have a tea at McDonald's for something warm in Douglas but then riding back in rain and not being able to have a hot drink is a shame, I seen one guest disappointed that they were unable to purchase a hot tea in the bar and subsequently had to have a cold drink. Just little things like that would have added to the experience as it's the little things.

Breakfast was just how we love it…..just like a home cooked breakfast.

Had no complaints

We didn't hear much from the guys running the tents, but James in the clubhouse was so lovely and helpful, he made our whole trip. The tents were clean and roomy enough, but a bit cold at night - could have used thicker duvets or blankets. Clubhouse had decent bathrooms but not a lot of privacy - more like group changerooms with a few curtains, so would not be ideal if busy.

Location a bit out of the way if you didn't have your own mode of transport. Not much information provided by the organisers. It was a comfortable enough stay for glamping, but expensive for what it was.

The site was in a great place and the views were beautiful to wake up to each morning, the staff were great and the food was very good,would stay again

nothing

The Tents were very secure sturdy & stood up to heavy rain. The staff were all super friendly & went out of their way to make our stay perfect.

There was nothing I didn’t like
