How does the home stay work @gav525, are you just renting someones house for the days you are there.
I'm only seeing this post now... I stay on the site your booked onto! I tried in vain to post a video of me ankle deep in water from an absolutely treacherous year of weather in 2017 but it was unsuccessful lol (one bad year in 15 years at the TT btw)
On a plus, we have stayed here coming up on 10 years now and I can highly recommend it! Bike parking is beside the football pitch and they have full shower facilities and breakfast that will keep you going most of the day! (2 sausages, bacon, eggs, beans and 2 rounds of toast with tea/coffee for £5!! Not bad!!) There is a shoprite literally 2 minutes walk away and your a 10 minute walk from the pits!
Are you bringing your own tent etc or are you in one of the tents already setup?
Don't hesitate to ask if you need anything either!
It sounds good from the reviews that I have read, there seems to be a lot of returning guests too which is always a good sign. Do you know if you can deliver a package to them in advance, i wouldnt mind sending all my gear over a week before, such as tent and clothes etc.
I will make a phone call and see if I can get a point of contact for you. I know we had a direct number for a guy on site a couple of years ago! Would certainly be a help if you could get all your gear over prior. Id offer but both our cars are jammed to the roof lol
Gary another option is to ask in the IoM TT 2019 Facebook page. Explain your situation and you'll find a load of islanders willing to help you out with an address to ship your stuff to
