The Isle of Man has ranked fifth in TripAdvisor awards for best rated islands in the UK - jumping up four places from 2015.

The Island beat the likes of Guernsey and Scottish Isles Orkney and Arran but placed after Jersey, the Isle of Wight and Isle of Skye.

The award winners are determined by the quantity and quality of reviews and ratings for hotels, restaurants and attractions worldwide - gathered over a 12-month period.
