Not much help, but how about IoM tourist info peeps pointing you in the direction of where you could pitch a tent ?

Even if it's roughing it in a farmers field or barn . . . . . .

TRY [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] FOR CAMPSITES &INFO FOR HOMESTAY , B+B, HOTELS / [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] GOOD LUCK

Best bet is to do a good bit of phoning round. There are loads of B&Bs over there that don't have websites / email and just rely on phone bookings.

Some of these places will be listed by the Manx Tourist Board but I know from experience that some aren't, which makes it difficult to find them. Try phoning the ones that ARE listed and then ask them if they know of any others that do have vacancies. They're usually pretty helpful like that.

Another tip would be to try UK local press. I'm in Liverpool and the Liverpool Echo regularly has small ads for accommodation on the Island. I don't know if there'd be ads all around the UK but it could be worth trying the local rags from the North West Coast...Southport, Blackpool, Lancaster, Preston, Fylde, The Lakes etc??????

If you do end up going over without accommodation you'll easily find space in a campsite. Then you might be able to find something better when you're there. If not a B&B or Hotel there are loads of people who rent out rooms and I always see signs in people's windows saying "Room available".

Good luck... maybe I'll see you over there. We're there from 5th to 9th June (lucky enough to know some people over there who we can stay with).
