About Homestay

Isle of Man Tourism operates the Homestay scheme to encourage local residents to open their homes to guests on a bed and breakfast or self-catering basis. Lifetime friendships are often created as the hosts make your stay more comfortable, friendly and affordable. When Homestay providers register they are encouraged to give the visitor the personal touch and go the extra mile, which most visitors appreciate. This ensures that you receive a genuine Manx welcome and have the opportunity to share their way of life.
