where to stay on the Isle of Man?

I have family in douglas but want to stay either in nice hotel or rent a cottage. Wy are going for May Bank Holiday.

Has anyone stayed there or can you recommend somewhere?

On DH's laptop so will check back tomorrow Thanks in advance.

You definitely ought to stay in Douglas itself. There's a lovely hotel on the sea front. I'm sorry, it was 12 years ago when I went, but on the ground floor, they have a lounge with hundreds of books lining the walls.

If you can afford a hotel, I'd go for that option. It rains a lot on the Isle of Man. Of course, you might drop very lucky, but I'd opt for the warm room and cooked breakfast approach
