Lovely cottage could not of picked a better place to stay
10.0 / 10.0
This is a beautiful property finished to a high standard and ideal for the few days we were there. The pictures do it justice - it was warm, comfortable and well appointed. The bedroom upper floor was lovely.
It would be churlish indeed to find fault.

Lovely house, very well decorated. All facilities such as oven, microwave, hob, washing machine, dishwasher & coffee machine. Upstairs is a large bedroom on a mezzanine with shower at the end of the room. Also has both upstairs and downstairs toilets. Under floor heating in living room/kitchen.
The heating system is a heat pump, which does kick in and out and overnight was a little noisy because it sits under the stairs which is open to the bedroom.

Great location, with convenient local facilities. Close to Douglas, but easy to get to most of the rest of the island.

The facility turned out to be a marvellous historical cottage superbly fitted out and supremely comfortable. An unexpected bonus was the Sonos sound system linked to Spotify which kept us dancing in the living room!

Excellent property finished to a high standard. Really comfortable. Nice powerful shower and the kitchen was well equipped.
A couple of minor niggles with the tap in the kitchen and the shower gel. Found the TV very difficult to use and gave up in the end. WiFi intermittent.

The location and property type
Could only get rubbish programs on Freeview and the DVD wasn't connected up. Also needs a larger mirror on wall over dressing table and towels hooks on side of shower. Small niggles but niggles nevertheless

A warm welcome was offered by this utterly charming little house. Our first visit to IOM and it was greatly enhanced by being in such comfortable and well appointed accommodation. Would highly recommend and we hope to return.

Excellently decorated, spotlessly clean, lots of high quality modern features, from the kitchen appliances to the TV and ... well everything. This place would rightly appeal to lots of couples. Can see why its been used for a honeymoon etc. Well located, with a local supermarket, close to bus routes into Douglas, or parking available if you drive. Top choice and would recommend.
Anything is nit-picking... personally, the modern inside and heritage outside didn't gel, but that is just us. Slightly unusual to have an open shower in the bedroom, but many will like that. The fact we asked ourselves what we would do differently shows how much 'at home' we felt. A small thing... some extra information or focus on recycling bottles, cardboard etc. Again, what we would do at home. So maybe that's just us :-)

Amazing property done to a really high standard had everything you could want
If I could change anything it would be a new mattress for the bed as it was a little uncomfortable

Great for two people, lots of space, well decorated and very clean, central location too.
Repair garage across the road which was a bit noisy at times, but we weren't in during the day so not a big problem.

Garden needed attention. No suitable private outdoor space to sit and furniture outside was old and tired .

The location is great, the interior layout is good, and it has everything you need for a great stay. Nice walk down to the sea, and good local buses.
There's nothing to find fault with, I have a spider phobia, so I had a few shocks, haha.

This is a tastefully decorated and very well equipped cottage with very up-to-date technology. Everything was of very good quality. The bed was big and comfortable, the shower roomy and efficient and there was ample drawer/hanging space. We also liked the sofa and the lighting was good for reading. We appreciated the condiments and oil and the bits and pieces in the store cupboard. There were good transport links to the centre of town and a well-stocked supermarket very nearby. The location was completely quiet overnight. We found it a perfect base from which to explore the whole island.
Because of the repair garage opposite, it was not always possible to park easily - but that problem disappeared as soon as the working day was over!

Lovely property with plenty of space. The location was great with access to a shop and several bus route to choose from giving ready access to anywhere on the island.
The garden could do with tidying up, but it was a nice area to sit out in the evening.
9.0 / 10.0
well presented modern interior with everything provided that you could possibly want.
We got a shock to find that the property was directly opposite a repair garage but it wasn’t a problem really as this didn’t cause any significant noise issues and it was only open Monday to Friday.
We parked our car on the one way road directly outside the house without issue as there was always a space there.
The owners had told us about the honey bees nest in the front left hand gutter area before we arrived and although it was a concern they didn’t enter the property.

Welch House is a lovely house situated in a beautiful area on the Isle of Man and is ideal for 2 people looking for a great spot to travel around.
We walked into Douglas almost on a daily basis and found multiple different routes all taking around 35 - 40 minutes which was ideal.
The house itself was decorated to a very high standard, all the items provided for use were great including the music system which was nice to sit and listen to in the evening.
Toiletries were a nice little extra which made it feel nice and homely and the under floor heating was brilliant to take off the chill in the evening.
The satellite TV did not work but a Chromecast has been provided which came in handy so we could still watch movies etc.
I would like to say there was no buts with this property...BUT there are a few points which if we are honest did take away from the holiday and place - we aren't certain we would say it wasn't complete value for money even though we did have an amazing time on the Isle of Man.
1) If you want a lie-in then don't expect one - directly across the road from the house is a car garage which had us up most days at 7.30am - 8am with the beep of the forklift or the sounds of a horn. Not ideal when you are on holiday.
2) With the above in mind this caused an issue with parking outside the front - on arrival to the property there were multiple part cars parked (smashed cars essentially) all up the street, as well as employees, as well as other residents, this meant we had to park up the road and round the corner which made getting our stuff into the property fun.
3) When we did manage to get a parking space to the front of the house, our car was slightly scratched due to limited pavement and as there is a park next door which was a busy dog walking spot, people walked past close to the car and the car got scratched.
4) If you are scared of bees or allergic, this is not the house for you. We were told of a bees nest to the side of the house the week before after we had paid for the property - it was very active in the day - luckily we were not too bothered but it did mean you couldn't sit out when the weather was good.
5) On arrival we were told that the bottom cooker doesn't work as it's awaiting a part - again we were ok with this but it did mean some meals were cooked in parts.

Very well equipped and distinctive property, clean and comfortable throughout. Well located for exploring the island.
There wasn't really anything to dislike - just look out for the low ceiling beams over the bed!

Great property, short drive from Ferry Terminal.. Everything we could need was on offer, stayed 6 nights so was nice to have a homely feel over a hotel room.. House spotless on arrival and property opened up for us to walk straight in on arrival.. Good range of Dvds alongside the TV offering..
Good communication in advance regarding a bees nest, wasn't an issue but good to know in advance and they were never an issue as not too close to the front door
Towels were listed as available, arrived to only find hand towels and when we asked the owner confirmed this was all that was on offer.. Expected to be a larger towel offering or if told in advance we could of brought out own..

Lots of facilities and little, thoughtful extras. Nicely converted from a former school-house
wifi dropped out so needed rebooting a few times. parking was on the road; not always space available outside the property

The property was well equipped and clean. It was warm and comfortable. Everything that we needed was there including toiletries. The location was good being close to many amenities and was ideal as a base to explore the island. I would certainly stay there again.

The property was very well equipped and was on a great bus route which helped us get around. The property was perfect except for the bed.
The mattress really needs to be replaced we had the most uncomfortable nights sleeps whilst we were there. The middle of the mattress feels like it’s collapsed so you roll into the middle and get a back full of springs.

Absolutely lovely property right in the heart of Onchan. We especially appreciated that the hosts left us a few provisions as our flight was delayed and we got in rather late. We also loved the little nature preserve located behind the property.
