Wonderful hotel! Rooms are lovely and spacious. They also have portable AC cooling units, which come in very handy in the warmer months. Most hotels on IOM do not have AC. Staff is super nice.

Room 309 slept 4 in single beds & was comfortable & clean & has a sea view. Buffet style breakfast had excellent choice - I just wonder if the toaster provision could be improved. Located very close to the beach. On-street parking as per the majority of hotels in the area. Hill may be steep for some people. Staff excellent. Would stay again.

It is thanks to the staff of the Welbeck Hotel that I am alive today. I went to the Isle of Man for a 5 day holiday to mark my 50th birthday. On the day before (3rd May) I suffered a major heart attack in my hotel room. The first aider came up straight away and ensured i was conscious while the ambulance arrived. While I was in hospital awaiting the air ambulance they had packed my bags and delivered them to my hospital room and even gave me a get well card.
I cannot thank them enough for what they did for me, they saved my life and without their prompt action I wouldn't be here now. I hope one day I get to return to stay there again and thank them in person.
