I see that others have scored this hotel highly (which is why we chose to stay there) so maybe the room we occupied was more scruffy and dated than others. In terms of position we couldn't fault it - the hotel is right on the promenade and we had the first floor front room with superb panoramic views.

The main drawback was that none of the windows opened - the frames had been painted over presumably to stop the wood disintegrating. This was a nuisance as the room and bedding smelt musty and slightly smoky and there was no way we could let fresh air in. I know this problem doesn't apply to all rooms as we saw other rooms had windows open, and those at the back appear to have newer uPVC framed variety.

Bathroom fittings were very old and scruffy, and the bedroom carpet was badly stained. Door fitted very badly and rattled whenever someone slammed another bedroom door on the same floor. A good point was that the shower curtain and towels looked new; also there was a large modern TV.

Breakfast was standard B&B cooked fare, with the welcome additonal option of kippers.

The hotel aside, Peel was the best place we stayed on the Isle of Man - very picturesque and without the numerous empty properties that are found in other towns on the island. Prices for eating out were more reasonable than elsewhere on IoM, and we had an excellent meal at the Marine pub.

My friend and I spent 4 days at the Waldick and found it quite comfortable. A front room would have been nice and the 43 steps to our room tested us after living in a bungalow, but the room was spacious, with flat screen tv, tea, decaf coffee, biscuits etc, radio alarm, hairdryer, shoe cleaner!, shampoo, shower gel and soap and towels.
The breakfast choice was extensive with orange or apple juice, grapefruit segments, prunes, bacon, sausage, tomato,mushrooms, egg, baked beans or kippers if available. Toast, butter, orange or lime marmalade, strawberry or raspberry jam, lemon curd or honey and tea or coffee. They even obliged with a very early breakfast on our day of departure. Parking was free and right outside the door.
Cash or cheque is the only payment. The only problem was communication on booking and trying to contact via the telephone call our messages never received an answer leaving us wondering if we actually had a booking. Zara was most obliging and pleasant.
The island is a fantastic place to visit but the only problem is finding a decent place to eat and at a reasonable price and this applies to the whole of the island. If you love ice cream you must try Davisons ice cream.
I would definately stay here again

I enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The overall style of the hotel is nothing special but it was comfortable and clean. Do make sure you get a room with a sea view: the views are spectacular. Good breakfast. Friendly, approachable staff. Great location, both in terms of it's position in Peel itself but also in terms of the island. Peel is a good place to base youself.

stayed 1 night in Peel and would love to return - the guesthouse {not an hotel as such} was very adequate as Peel has a good selection of great bars and restaurants. The owners were more than friendly and with clean rooms and a good breakfast it met all expectations!
