Description
Imperial House is an apartment spread over two floors, a ground floor and a basement. Perfect for a family group it is located in a prime position on the promenade in Peel, Isle of Man with spectacular views of the seaside and Peel Castle. Just across the road is Peel beach, a family favourite for those warm summer days, who flock to the nearby ice cream parlours and eateries.
The apartment features a spacious lounge area with lovely views out to sea and across the beach. Two bedrooms are also on the ground floor. Head down the stair case into the basement you will find the kitchen, and an additional bedroom. The basement does benefit from some natural light from small windows contained within.
Peel has plentiful bars and restaurants, all within a short walk of Imperial House. You'll be spoilt for choice! The high street is also nearby, just a few minutes walk away. Here you can find shops and one of two supermarkets in Peel.
The heritage sites of Peel, namely Peel Castle - which dates back to the Vikings in the 10th century - on St Patrick's Isle and the House of Mannanan where you can step through history and learn about past times and superstitions of the island.
Peel is also a great base for walkers and cyclists with an abundance of hills and countryside nearby. Don't forget to take a look at the Raad-Ny-Foillan coastal footpath which winds through Peel, a perfect way to explore the coast. Watersport enthusiasts are also catered for with kayak hire, fishing, boat trips and Basking Shark watch. It's also very common to see Dolphins in the bay!
With 26 amazing official dark sky sites dotted around the Island, heading out stargazing is the perfect night time activity for the whole family. Follow the coastal path around Peel Castle to enjoy the panoramic views looking out to sea. With minimal light pollution, it’s a perfect place to admire the stars over the North West and South.

Great Stay
Imperial House is in a wonderful location, with marvellous views to the Castle. We were using public transport and the bus stop was within a 5 minute walk - the Bus Vannin Go Saver or Go Explore card is worth buying if you intend to use buses and trains to get around. The supermarket is also close by. We did a mixture of self catering and eating out. The kitchen is very well equipped. The kitchen ceiling beams might be a problem for those 6ft+ but we were fine. The house is comfortable and was lovely to return to after a day's walking. As well as good walking, there is also a lot to see and visit on the island. Our hosts, Chris and Jean had kindly left a starter kit of tea, coffee, milk, biscuits, bread etc for our arrival which was very welcome after our day's travel. They were helpful and informative about the island, places to visit and places to eat. One highlight was Chris's magic tricks which he performed for us one evening. Very slick and great fun!Cleanliness

A perfect location for town, beach, castle, sunsets and ice cream.
The house is located right on the promenade. It is well-appointed, bright and cheerful, the only slight drawback (hence the 4 for comfort above) is the low ceiling height in the kitchen if you are over 6' 2" tall. The owners were friendly and helpful, including returning something we had left behind.Cleanliness

Great place to stay
We had a wonderful break at Imperial House recently. Jean and Chris were amazing hosts and made us all feel very welcome. My grandchildren loved Chris's magic show! The location is perfect, just a few steps to the beach with amazing views from the ground floor windows. There is a pub/restaurant right next door which is very convenient, but a bit noisy at weekends.Cleanliness

A trip to the beach
Excellent location. Parking with the property which is a luxury in Peel. A shirt stroll to the supermarkets that kept us fully supplied all week. The best bit - we were on the promenade and able to sit and watch the sea and the activities on the promenade.Cleanliness

Family holiday
The house is situated on Peel promenade with great access to a sandy beach. The bedrooms were large and plenty of hanging space. The views from the front windows in the living room have to be seen to be appreciated. Close to all amenities including the pub 20 steps door to door. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating. Really enjoyed the stay and would definitely return.Cleanliness

Loved it
Chris & Jean are lovely. So accommodating & welcoming without being overbearing. Of course, Cookies performance was the the stuff of legend! Many thanks for the show. Only negative of the house is that the kitchen is downstairs with a low ceiling & beams, so if you are 6ft & want to do a lot of cooking, there is definite danger of bumping your head. We managed OK. We had a great time riding the very many trains on the island & the beach was great. We even ventured in to the sea & survived. Just wish we could have stayed longer. I'm sure we'll be back.Cleanliness

A most magical time in wonderful Peel!
It was a really wonderful time, getting together with friends who joined me in Imperial House for a holiday. We loved the place! Its perfectly situated, beautifully furnished and every room is lovingly decorated and equipped with everything one needs for a relaxing stay. Ive been staying in Peel several times before - but this was the best in accommodation and hospitality I have ever experienced. I felt like I was staying with friends. Chris and Jean are wonderful hosts. Chris entertained us with his magic and Jean was so lovely and attentive. Highly recommended!Cleanliness

Feels like staying with family
Chris and Jean are wonderful hosts. They were very attentive to any needs we had. They were friendly and helped us if needed. The view was beautiful, a clear view of the sea and the castle. There are many restaurants and stores around that are easy to get to. The house is comfortable.Cleanliness

A wonderful holiday by the beach. Excellent hosts
We stayed at the Imperial House with our 7 year old son in April. The property, which had been recently decorated, is located in Peel, right by the beach. There is plenty of space for a family with kids to stay, or a group of friends. 2 bedrooms are on the ground floor and 1 in the basement. All beds are extremely comfortable. Everywhere was spotless. There are a few nice restaurants in Peel, but if you prefer to cook yourself, the kitchen has everything you need to make any meal. The hosts, who live upstairs, in their own apartment, are wonderful people. It's worth mentioning, that they are magicians and were very kind to give our son a private magic show!! It was a very special treat that our son won't forget! We had an amazing time!Cleanliness
