The owners of the Welbeck Hotel in Douglas have formally agreed to sell to a buyer, according to Manx Radio on Thursday 12 November.

The station reported that the family-run hotel had been at risk of closing after its owners said they were no longer able to run it.

Michael George told Manx Radio that, following interest from a potential buyer, advocates are now handling the transfer of ownership.

According to the station, Mr George said the new owner intends to “keep the heart of the Welbeck alive”.

Manx Wire has not seen a statement from the owners or the buyer beyond Manx Radio’s report.
