THE ASCOT HOTEL, DOUGLAS
2020 will see our third visit to this family-run hotel which is set back from the Promenade, overlooking Douglas Bay. The Ascot prides itself on greeting its guests with a warm Manx welcome, comfortable rooms and good food. Bedrooms have hospitality tray and free Wi-Fi. Due to the age and layout of the building, not all bedrooms have level access from the lift as there are steps along the corridors. Coaches cannot access the front of the Hotel, so passengers are dropped off on the seafront, from where it is a short uphill walk.
