Thought there was already another thread but I couldn’t find it so feel free to merge @mods if it exists Any tips/help on getting home stay/accommodation sorted? I’m there for race week but finding it almost impossible to get a reply from any of the home stayers on the website. (Id rather die than go camping fwiw) TIA
I’ve been home stay a couple of times, just keep sending messages and eventually you’ll find something suitable. I prefer camping as long as it’s not too rainy, a week in a wet tent can sap the will to live! Each time I’ve done home stay the weather has been awesome, so paid for good weather
Camped OK for the first 3 years, year 4 (1998) was WET! Same Homestay every year since. Bikes in the Garage. In Douglas 10 mins walk to the Paddock. Inside the circuit but not far from the Access Road. The only real downside is going down into town for food and maybe a beer or two in the evening means a long walk back up the hill.
Larger numbers are often easier to find rooms for especially early on. I usually team up with a few other families.
98 was my first year...........so bloody wet next few times were fantastic weather but no way I'm camping
