There's been some great news for the Island's self catering trade.
No fewer than six self catering properties have been awarded Gold accolades for providing exceptional service and quality.
The awards were made by independent assessors who recently visited the Island.
The Gold accolade scheme was launched by VisitBritain, which worked with the Isle of Man Department of Tourism and Leisure on the local initiative.
Tourism and Leisure Minister Martyn Quayle says it's about recognising hard work and high standards:
Renewed calls for public referendum on Island's Assisted Dying Bill
Manannan delay blamed on fault with propulsion system
Nurses to be asked for views on three-year pay offer
