Glen Helen Inn has a picturesque setting, beautiful gardens and home-cooked food. It is located in a glen on the west side of the island. Beautiful gardens lead through the glen to Rhenass Falls, an outdoor seating area, a large parking lot and an outdoor play area for children. The well-equipped bedrooms overlook Glen Helen and the countryside and have private bathrooms. There is a modern bar and a large conservatory restaurant with a varied menu, homemade desserts, coffees, packed lunches (upon request) and afternoon tea. Food is served from 11:30am until 9pm. Glen Helen is one of 17 national glens on the island. It is a famous corner on the TT course (Tourist Trohpy motorcycle race), and a radio-commentary point. Hotel Rooms: 17

Excellent location for touring the island. Very relaxed atmosphere with friendly staff. Good restaurant with well presented food. Seemed a little understaffed with just two staff handling food service, reception and the bar. Sometimes difficult to get service without having to go and find staff. Rooms clean but very basic.

Location ideal for my business purpose, however, would also use the Inn for leisure location. Food quality was excellent and helpfulness of staff couldn't be faulted. Room was excellent ,very clean and nicely proportioned,although a little pricey. The overall experience compensated though. Will definitely be there again next year.

The Glen Helen is a excellent place for a relaxing break, positioned away from any hustle and bustle. Rooms are spacious ,modern and clean, We enjoyed excellent service, came down quite late for breakfast, however a full freshly cooked breakfast was supplied not with a shrug and a mutter but with a smile and welcoming good morning. We ate a first class dinner at the Glen Helen, the food is really good fresh and local, probably the best beef I've had in a year or two and sublimley cooked. We would stay again at the drop of a hat. The only point to note is during tt and Manx gp weeks the roads around Glen Helen become closed for the day so you need to be up and out early, unless you want to watch the races from what is a great vantage point.

Staff were freindly and helpfull. Food was good and hotel clean and in a beautiful setting. My problem with the hotel was the lack of soundproofing between rooms which meant that I was woken when people in adjacent rooms used the bathroom or were heavy snorers. Also Television reception was poor.

Pleasant surroundings. Spacious and comfortable room, friendly staff and good cooked breakfast. We were in the first room on the left, so we heard a lot of people coming and going through the main door. We didn't take a car so we felt quite isolated and had to rely on taxis and friends to get around.

Setting in Glen - wooded trees alongside river. Pub like Hotel on TT route with good pub type food with excellent seperate restaurant in grounds. Walking in area and lovely gardens. Staff very friendly and efficient. No reception, relied on bar staff to take to room. Building not very attractive but adequate. Room described as suite was small but adequate.

The walk to the falls is fantastic. The bed was a little too small for me (as I'm quite picky)

A lovely Inn set in quiet countryside . All main towns and heritage attractions less than 10min drive. Golf clubs within 10mins trip. The staff could not do enough to help. The food ,especially breakfast is cooked to order, no mass produced food here. Takes a few minutes longer at busy times but where are you rushing off to?

The staff were very pleasant and nothing seemed too much trouble and the food was fabulous. Shame about the time of year, it was too dark in the evening to go for a walk in the glen behind the Hotel.

Location and quietness except for night when the wedding was on. WiFi did not work after first couple of days - router would not allocate an ip address. Tv picture broke up quite frequently. No lift, we had to carry our cases up and down an outside concrete staircase in the rain - at our age too! We were warned there was no lift, but you have asked what I didn't like and that was one item. My main dislike was the noise from the wedding party on the Saturday night, which we had not been warned about at the time of booking. I dislike not being told there may be a noisy party during my stay at the time of booking as I may choose not to book. Restaurant menu choices were not to my taste - I prefer 'simple' food.

We did not have a key for the room. The previous occupants did not hand the key back and there was no spare. We had to find a member of staff to lock and unlock our room everytime we went in and out. Bit of a pain to say the least.
