Things to do
It's not all motorbike racing on the Isle of Man. There are number of other activities that can be enjoyed year round. We've selected some of our favourites below. We can help with advice and guidance in organising trips, transport and information
Port Erin
The quaint little harbour town is perfect to explore on foot. Only a short walk from the B&B, you'll find pubs, restaurants and our beautiful, sandy beach.
Steam Railway
Port Erin train station serves the rest of the island on this Victorian steam railway. You can also connect to the horse drawn tram in Douglas, as well as the electric mountain railway at Ramsey.
Motor Sports
Aside from the TT, there are lots of other racing events, such as the Southern 100 which takes place just down the road from Hill House. Click the picture for a link to the full motorsports calendar.
