Good....for a couple of nights
Greeted by Kevin....nice guy and very friendly. Our room was right at the top of building - lots of stairs! Small, but very clean and everything worked fine. Our only minor grumble was that the mattress was very firm and we are used to the opposite so we didn't sleep too well. Location was great - short walk into town. Parking was ok - free on street with disc Kevin gave us. We didn't have breakfast so can't comment on that. Like I said - ok for a couple of night s for us - we would have to move on to find a softer bed!

Very warm and friendly welcome from manager Kevin, who made a lot of effort to make sure that everything went well during my stay. Very clean, comfortable room, good bed and bedding. Absolutely lovely breakfast of tomato mushroom and egg on ciabatta. Rooms have all the basics including small tea making facilities. Not luxury - the electric shower is adequate although I imagine it would not be easy to install a power shower in an older building like this. The whole house is nicely decorated with wallpaper rather than painted and feels personalised. I'd definitely stay there again

Kevin and the team had done up the house in the spirit of Christmas with a tree and all the trimmings. The room was comfortable and had a restful night after a long journey. There had been a mistake in the booking with me thinking I was on a B&B arrangement. Kevin's wife in the spirit of Thanksgiving offered me a complimentary breakfast for the week. I made a donation to a local Manx charity. Will stay there again in the future.

Wonderful
Just returned from a lovely three day break on the island. We were very fortunate to stay at the Devonian, where nothing is too much trouble for the hosts. Spotlessly clean rooms, delicious breakfasts with lots of choice, and very friendly staff. The location is perfect, and we will definitely return. Thank you for making our stay so special.

Friendly staff and easy check-in and check-out. Room was small but comfortable, bright and clean. Bathroom was clean and nicely decorated. NOTE: The Devonian wouldn't be suitable for anybody with mobility issues as you have to climb steps to get to the front door, and as far as I'm aware there isn't a lift.

Lovely friendly welcome and staff. Amazing breakfasts. Quite central. We were in Room 4 on the first floor. I had disturbed sleep due to a soil pipe leading from the upper floors which went through the corner of the room. This resulted in noise from water rushing down the pipe.
