Birchfield House is far removed from the bed and breakfasts of old Douglas. Instead of the landlady frying bacon and eggs, guests can dine on homemade muesli from the owner, TV chef Kevin Woodford.
Mr Woodford is a Manxman who rose to fame on This Morning, the ITV magazine programme, and has since worked extensively for the BBC as an actor and presenter of shows from Ready, Steady Cook to Songs of Praise.
