We had an amazing time at the cottage. The cozy atmosphere, charming decor, and serene surroundings made for a perfect getaway. The attention to detail in every aspect of the cottage, from the comfortable beds to the well-equipped kitchen, exceeded our expectations. I can't wait to return and create more wonderful memories in this little slice of paradise.
We had a wonderful week at Scarlett View, particularly being able to look at the panoramic sea view and watch the many different species of birds down in the rock pools. The house was warm, with comfortable beds and plenty of room to relax in the lounge or play games in the dining room. The kitchen was well equipped with high quality appliances and for the times we did not want to cook, it was a very short walk into Castletown to the coffee shops, restaurants and bars. There are stunning walks around the coast from the front door and many beaches and glens only a short drive away. We wou...more
Lynn was very welcoming and able to accommodate us even at short notice. The location is beautiful and the accommodation makes you feel right at home. I would definitely recommend and be happy to stay again.
What a lovely apartment with a stunning view. It is well situated and very comfortable. The apartment is beautifully decorated throughout and the owners have thought of everything that you could need for your stay. We loved it and can’t wait to come back!
Cooildarry and Slieau Corn and the coast can all be walked from the door. Glen Helen and Peel Hill are just a short drive.
As a group of 6 adults we stayed over the Easter bank holiday weekend. Quilliams Lodge far exceeded our expectations. It was well equipped including a generous welcome basket. The space was large and more than comfortable for a large group. The cottage was spotlessly clean. The owner Lynn met us on arrival and couldn't have been more helpful and welcoming. Would not hesitate to recommend and already planning our next trip!
There is nothing negative I say about this apartment, perhaps the three flights of stairs may be a bit much for some, after a long day out and about they did seem like a mountain, but the view from the lounge window is second to none. The apartment is clean, well appointed, and very well equipped, we had an extremely relaxed stay, beds were comfortable and the bread, cheese, tea, coffee bags and milk was very much appreciated after a long day of travelling, we would come back and stay here again.
Lovely place to stay will certainly be going back lovely and warm everything there that was needed .
Our weekend away at Dove Cottage was nothing other than excellent. From the perfect location with a short drive from the airport to every amenity that you could possibly need in the property. The cottage was very clean and provided everything we needed as a base to explore the island and within a short walking distance to shops and brilliant pubs for food and drink. A lovely touch was the log burner for a cosy evening on the sofa. We will definitely be back in the future to explore more of the island.
We have enjoyed staying at Close Taggart on many previous occasions, and it's always a pleasure to return. After a warm welcome from Shirley and John, we quickly settled in to the cottage. It's warm and cosy, quiet, and very fully equipped with everything you could need. Looking forward to our next visit!¹
Really excellent property in centre of the island, ideal escape for two. Easy reach of all locations, walking trails and good local bus service. Welcoming and extremely accommodating owners in adjacent farm house. Surrounded by farm animals and beautiful rural views.
Beautiful holiday home. Stunning views and extremely well equipped. Of the highest standard. 10/10.
This is our fourth stay at Thie Lough so it is possibly unfair to put scores and simply say that we would not go back if we did not enjoy our stay. We live within a half hour drive of Close Taggart and when Covid disrupted our Christmas 2020 travel plans we booked 'local' and loved it so much we have repeated each year over Christmas. To those searching reviews I suggest you check back for our earlier ones. If you like what we have said, just book it. Just don't pinch our slot.
Really cosy,well equipped cottage with a wonderful view of the sea. Sauna is a well appreciated extra.
The service and property were excellent and we can't fault it. The customer service was efficient and very helpful as we needed urgent accommodation because of the extreme weather. Excellent standard of property and we have thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you!
The cottage has everything you need for a comfortable and cozy stay on the Isle of Man. Excellent location to appreciate nature and wildlife. A warm welcome and excellent tour of the grounds provided by Beverley and Molly. I would definitely recommend Wisteria Cottage for anyone wanting to appreciate a relaxing holiday in the North of the Island.
This was our second visit to Frontignac in a month and as before it was excellent. Located 20m from the beach, it has stunning views of the sea, Port Erin and Milner’s Tower (which is a nice walk away). Shops, bars and restaurants in Port Erin are about 100m away - so everything is nearby. The house itself is great (we are a family of 4 adults), beds comfortable, the living area and balcony area are ideal for watching life and nature, the kitchen has everything you need and the showers were great - hot and decent pressure. Would come back again - one of the best places we’ve stayed at ...more
Excellent location and facilities, we have stayed on the island many times and this is the best accommodation we have found. We look forward to visiting again in the future.
Thie Spooyt is the perfect holiday home, and especially in winter! It is warm and inviting with wood burning stoves in the two main living areas and a plentiful supply of logs. At night the twinkling lights of the Point of Ayre lighthouse light up the horizon. This house is very cosy with everything you need for an enjoyable stay and we all slept very well. The cleanliness was excellent and the experience is exactly what you’d expect from Island Escapes.
The house was excellent, spotlessly, clean and in a quiet cul-de-sac. I would definitely stay here again.
Thie Fuinee was one of the best equipped cottages we have ever stayed at. There was everything we needed and more and it was so clean and comfortable. We arrived late after a 7 hour flight delay so the welcome pack of milk, bread, cheese, tea, coffee etc was really appreciated. The house has obviously been a very loved family home and thus all essentials and more are there. There is parking on the drive by the cottage but it’s best for just one car as the property next door shared the drive, that said there is ample parking on the road outside. There is also a bus stop right outside which is ...more
When we initially contacted Lara and Adrian to enquire as to whether we could hold our wedding at Elgin Retreat, they were so pleased and very honoured that we had chosen their little sanctuary for our special day. They could not have been more helpful or accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. We only wanted a small, minimal and private event and Lara and Adrian made our wishes come true. Even though they didn’t admit it, I know how hard they both worked to make the place look fabulous and the little touches they both put in just made everything so much more special. The location and ...more
We stayed at Ellan Vannin, Castletown for 4 nights and it was perfect for our needs. We had an issue accessing the property with the code Island Escapes provided however, a quick call to the them and the issue was immediately resolved. The house is spacious, split over 3 levels and is well equipped & maintained. It is located in a fantastic quayside, the ideal spot from which to explore the many delights of the old capital and the whole of the island. Parking was never a problem issue, we managed to park right outside the front door. We will be back soon.... Highly recommend!
Writing this on behalf of Friends who managed to get over to the Isle of Man for the holiday. We didn't make it due to ferry cancellations that week and as time went on due to the inclement weather it wasn't worth it for 2 days in the end, all ferries available to take our dog in a dog lounge not available until the Wednesday. Anyway our Friends thoroughly enjoyed their time at Ballerhennie House, loved the Island and accommodation just tge two of them in a fantastic place home from home I believe and the owners very helpful, they had no complaints whatsoever ever which is great. Hopefully w...more
Gatekeepers is a lovely cottage ideally located in the south of the island and within easy walking distance of both Port St Mary and Port Erin. It's a great location for watching the little steam trains going past. You can get on the train on the opposite side of the road to the cottage. We recommend purchasing a Go Explore ticket which can be used on all trains and buses - great value. Gatekeepers Cottage has been renovated to an extremely high standard. The beds are super comfy and the cottage is warm. We weren't so keen on the sofas, they are quite small 2 seaters. They are comfortable but...more
Brookville House was the perfect choice for a family gathering in the area where our ancestors came from. Spacious, well furnished and lovely well equipped kitchen it was home from home. The bedrooms were comfortable with stylish, modern bathrooms. Island Escapes dealt with the booking very professionally. Great location for visiting places on the island. One room overlooked the main road and was a bit noisy in the early morning but that was the only small negative.
I had a lovely stay at Packet House. Great location, clean and well looked after, I think it must have been recently renovated.
The house was very well equipped throughout especially in the kitchen, just needed a couple of empty cupboards for food storage . The beds & bedrooms were very comfortable with plenty of storage. Unfortunately due to weather conditions we only managed 1 evening in the garden but there are plenty of places to sit outside . The conservatory was big and light ,comfortable seating , could do with a couple of chairs as with six it was very cosy on the settee. Bathrooms were good and towels very fluffy. Unfortunately there was only 1 toilet roll between 3 bathrooms, but luckily we did bring o...more
A large, homely holiday property. Comfortable lounge, well equipped kitchen and utility. Bathrooms superb and the bedrooms extremely comfortable. The garden was second to none where we enjoyed a lovely glass of wine in the evenings. Very central for all attractions, yet on a peaceful cul-de-sac. The steam train stop at Colby is just 7 minutes walk from the property and The Shore restaurant is highly recommended and is just 5 minutes drive, with lovely views. Garey Beg has been very well thought out and we would love to return one day.
Imperial House is in a wonderful location, with marvellous views to the Castle. We were using public transport and the bus stop was within a 5 minute walk - the Bus Vannin Go Saver or Go Explore card is worth buying if you intend to use buses and trains to get around. The supermarket is also close by. We did a mixture of self catering and eating out. The kitchen is very well equipped. The kitchen ceiling beams might be a problem for those 6ft+ but we were fine. The house is comfortable and was lovely to return to after a day's walking. As well as good walking, there is also a lot to see ...more
A lovely house and a warm welcome. The owner was on hand to welcome us when we arrived, and had laid on basic provisions for us. She couldn't have been nicer. The house was attractive and modern inside, and had everything our party of six needed. We were extremely comfortable. A great stay all round!
Een gezellige en complete woning met alles erop en eraan. Een prima locatie net buiten het centrum van Ramsey. Gelegen naast het Mooragh park waar het heerlijk wandelen is.
Really impressed with this property. It has everything you could possibly need - from kids games and books, kitchen utensils and equipment, buckets and spades. The property is clean, tidy and comfortable for a family of 5. Location is brilliant, kids loved the facilities at the park and the lake.
What an amazing place, we couldn’t have wanted for anything and it was exceptionaly clean and well equipped! The welcome pack was fantastic with local produce and the host Roberta was lovely, Definitely will be going back Thankyou for a lovely stay
Yet another wonderful holiday at Glenn Chass, our 4th visit. The views from the property are amazing, and the birds around the garden area.....Brilliant! we had a regular visit from a pheasant. The owners are so helpful, and the house is well eqipped with everything you could possibly need for an excellent holiday.
A really comfortable and spacious house located just a few minutes walk from the beautiful beach front of Port Erin. A perfect base for exploring the island. As with my previous experience with Island Escapes, the house was spotlessly clean, very well equipped with everything a family could need for a great holiday. Bread, milk, butter and cheese on arrival is a very nice touch. Thank you once a great stay on the island and can’t wait to come back again!
Stayed at Bradda place for a surprise 40th birthday weekend, with my wife and friends. The property was amazing & had everything we needed. Was spotlessly clean and in a great location would go back in a heartbeat!
This property is delightful and a joy to come back to at the end of the day, knowing it is clean, warm and you will have everything you could possibly need to prepare and cook your food. We particularly like the space, sometimes places with only one bedroom are small and cramped but not here. It’s very light and airy with space to breathe. We’ve stayed twice now and cannot fault it.
Lovely long weekend with friends. Cooking facilities great. Location great. House VERY warm. Lack of toilet roll in master suite, remember to take your own. Didn't find instruction booklet re facilities til near end, best to be left out on arrival. Outside light interrupted sleep for those in bedrooms that side of house. Could have done with extra binbag. Some more basic stuff for short stays so not having to bring everything
After a rather rough ferry crossing we arrived into Keys Cottage. What an absolute treat. The property is furnished to a really high standard, laid out well with everything you might need, and was clean and ready for our stay. Really enjoyed meeting some of the friendly staff in the Island Escapes office which is just around the corner from the cottage. I would thoroughly recommend a stay in the wonderful cottage.
We loved how contemporary the property is compared to most others available. It’s extremely well equipped and the inside is spotless. The only slight annoyance is the sheer number of seagulls and pigeons on and around the property which makes the balconies almost unusable. The parking space is great and the local restaurants are very good. Our stay was excellent value for money and we’d definitely recommend the house to everyone.
Loved Mariners House - great location and great amenities. Lovely views from the Binocular Chair on the top floor. Remember your coffee pods if you have a Nespresso Machine. Lovely and cosy, could have stayed longer. Loved the proximity to the beach, the cafe, The Shed (fantastic) and Mona Lisa, never managed to The Shore - but next time. Thank you for the Welcome pack, much appreciated. Would happily return and recommend, dog loved the beach and all the walks around Laxey. Thank you!
Booking with Island Escapes was very easy, their website provided a full description and included clear photographs of available cottages. Perfectly situated, Dandy Rigg Cottage was warm and cosy, spotlessly clean and well equipped with everything you could possibly need. I received lots of information from Island Escapes prior to travel and there was lots of informative books and leaflets at the cottage detailing things to do and see. All in all, a very pleasant break at a very reasonable price. Plus, it's the Isle of Man so it's bound to be good !
Tides Reach is the perfect location for exploring the Isle of Man. Spotlessly clean, neat and tidy with everything you could possibly need for your self catering stay. Very thoughtfully prepared for the arrival of the next guests with fresh milk, butter, cheese and bread, as well as biscuits, tea and coffee bags, sugar, salt and pepper. The only tiny negative for us was the softness of the bed, mattress topper & pillows. This is obviously a personal thing so I haven't knocked anything off the score. Excellent well stocked Co-op an 8 minute walk away, and The Shore Hotel at Gansey (30 mins ...more
The old coach house has stunning views and great character. The cosy fire was a treat on rainy, cold days. When the sun shone the children loved playing in the beautiful garden. A really delightful place to stay, tucked away from it all.
Had a lovely 3 night stay. Superb location for really nice walks. Good food nearby and the Albert a lovely old pub.
Amazing place to stay and easy to check in. The cottage is beautiful and super clean and we will love to stay again. Just few things they’ve needs to rectify to avoid future guests complaint: - entrance of the front Gate gor walking guests code machine is not working. I.e, we’ve all left our phone at the cottage and went for a long walk and came back to the cottage and the code typing machine not working (maybe it needs new battery we don’t know). The gate will open automatically only with a car. So we’ve needs to wait outside for couple of hours to figure out how to get in. - the bathroom...more
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the 2-bedroom property. It was clean and everything was as described in the property particulars. It is in the centre of Peel Close to the seafront, shops and eating places. We would highly recommend it for a holiday stay.
We had a lovely stay at this cottage. It’s very well equipped with everything you could need for your stay and lots of nice little touches. It’s in a nice location near the waterfront. Recommended!
We booked Eary Cushlin for a family holiday - we needed a large property to cope with three generations under one roof. It proved to be an ideal choice. The house is set in a truly stunning location, in a beautiful part of the island, alongside the coastal footpath, and is warm, comfortable, and very well appointed. There were lots of thoughtful touches which we really appreciated - for example, picnic rug, cool bag and flasks, which proved very useful. Thoroughly recommended.
We have loved our stay at Baljean! It has the wow factor with the way the home is furnished. It’s really top class. Good quality and stylish, a really comfortable stay too. This place would be brilliant anywhere but when you add in the stunning view of port Erin it makes it really special. This can be seen from the windows in the main bedroom, living room and even the shower and a nice little bench outside is a good shop to soak it in. Also really great communication. We asked 2 questions on the day of arrival. First for a slightly earlier check in if possible and secondly for the w...more
White House was very clean and beautifully decorated and comfortable. I loved that it was close to the coastal path - the perfect base for visiting the Isle of Man!
We stayed at the Hawthorns for 4 nights over Easter. We had no problem finding it and arrival procedures were straight forward. The property has 3 good sized bedrooms, two bathrooms plus a separate toilet and a good sized lounge and kitchen.The situation was beautiful and an added bonus was the Spa & gym including hot tub, sauna and steam room - all straight forward to operate. The only downside really is the lack of taxis around Peel however we did find one guy who was very helpful. Otherwise someone needs to drive if you want to go out for the night. The owners were very friendly and helpf...more
Another fantastic stay at The Stables. Home from home with everything we needed. And the joy of the farm and beautiful scenery were as uplifting as ever. Thank you Fiona and John.
Nice cottage in a quiet location accessed through a gated entrance. Well served by buses. Note there is a steep climb if you walk up from the beach.
Very comfortable and in an amazing location. Well equipped. Family had a wonderful stay and will return.
Stunning barn conversion, immaculate inside with everything you need, set in a quite location overlooking fields.
We had a lovely week at 2 Sunnyside Terrace. It’s a beautiful, well kept, traditional cottage with great sea views. Everything we needed had been thought of and the garden was a very relaxing place to spend time. Laxey itself is lovely - well placed for Snaefell and only a short tram ride from Douglas. Handy parking just in front of the terrace - not as bad as we expected from earlier reviews - our 4x4 could fit no problem. We fully recommend La Mona Lisa in Laxey, the Harbour Kiosk in Peel and the Sound Cafe overlooking Calf of Man - all very quick service and great food. A great week.
Brilliant property that has recently been renovated. As per description. We were lucky with the weather and waking up and making a morning coffee, doors wide open, view over the sea, sun beaming in with chilled music - bliss….
Beautiful house , great location, sea views , spotlessly clean, had a lovely short break here really nice comfortable beds slept really well.has everything you need. Welcome groceries when arrived , would love to stay here again sometime.
This is a well situated and well equipped modern house close to all amenities. The beach is close by. The house was perfect for our extended family stay. Plenty of space and perfect for 6 adults and two children. Room for personal space and family time. It is nicely furnished and immaculately clean. Would highly recommend it!
Our party of 4 thoroughly enjoyed our recent visit to "Harbour Hideaway" in Castletown. The property is handily situated close to the harbour, easy to find [use the instructions provided] and comfortably provides sufficient space for a family of 6. The lounge and dining area is a really good size, the bathroom facilities are thoroughly modern and the beds were comfortable. My only hint would be to take a small / medium sized car with you in order to fit it into the relatively small allocated space at the rear of the property. We took our Suzuki S Cross [4.3 metres length] after advice from ...more
Very well appointed cottage, quality all round. We've experienced gale force winds this week - exhilarating to be out in such weather - but great to come home and feel snug, comfy and safe. We love the 'feel' of the place. Relaxed and welcoming. The location was perfect for us.
Probably the best quality holiday cottage I have ever stayed. Very nicely appointed. Very impressed with the provision of a fire sprinkler system too! My only criticism would be for the lighting underneath the car port. A slight tweak on the timer to have more than 30 seconds of light would be helpful in the darker months. Excellent property, would stay again.
First time in the IoM so we didn’t know what to expect. We enjoyed our stay it’s a pity the weather wasn’t kinder. The cottage was a bit cold suggest the heating clock is activated. There was only one small cereal bowl and one of the cup had been broken by a previous occupier and had not been replaced.
Really comfortable stay in Riverside Cottage, the place was really clean and fresh and comfortable and full of interesting books of local interest. Couple of points from previous reviews that could have put us off, one said the parking was tight, I don't think it is really. We took two cars and easily parked in front of the house without any problems. Another review said that there wasn't enough crockery to warrant using the dishwasher, well there is now. Also, the same person said one of the beds was a bit too firm and the pillows too thin, this wasn't the case for us. They also said the...more
A cosy cottage in the harbour overlooking the boats. Beautifully presented and extremely clean. Close to Port St Mary facilities. We particularly loved the Boathouse restaurant, which we highly recommend. It offers delicious food with a warm and friendly welcome. As does the Albert pub a 3 minute walk away.
House is beautiful. So comfortable, stunning views from the lounge. Would be fabulous to stay in the summer when you could use the bbq and patio area. House is well equipped, beds are comfortable. The hairdryer are amazing !!. Good selection of books and games too. Would definitely stay again.
We went for a 4 night extra long weekend and there was 4 of us. The beds were super comfortable and lovely bedding in very spacious bedrooms. Unfortunately there was only comfy seating for 4 (ok for us) but had we been a party of 6 there would have been 2 people sitting on dining chairs all evening watching TV!! Not brilliant, especially if staying for a week or more. As has been stated in previous reviews, there are not really enough pans etc. to cook a meal for 4+ people so knowing this beforehand I took some along. There is a welcome pack of bread, butter, cheese, milk, biscuits etc. whic...more
A lovely location and well appointed but could do with some maintenance. The carpets are dirty/stained, there are some knocks on the walls and some curtain rings are broken. The kitchen is perhaps showing its age. It could be a 5 star apartment if it was given a little TLC
This cottage was perfect in every way for us, a short 5 night stay to visit family & friends. A welcoming warm and cosy feel as we entered the cottage, it had everything we required, the kitchen compact and a snug sitting room to relax in, very comfortable beds and the bathroom adequate, I did find the shower tricky to operate but put that down to my age and not being used to modern appliances! Great to have such good parking and loved the situation and quietness, a perfect, relaxing, restful place to stay. Would be more than happy to stay there next time we visit the Isle of Man. Thank you ...more
We enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It was cosy, warm and very comfortable and had all we needed for our stay. The cottage was great with the dogs with the garden ideal for them to roam safely. The service from Island Escapes was excellent and they made everything very easy and clear. (Might think about a little more detailed directions to get to the cottage initially when in the dark as we did get quite lost and couldn't see the landmarks noted...although that could be our error!!) Nothing to do with the cottage but the village of Kirk Michael was disappointing as the only pub there was no...more
We decided to go for a short "staycation" for a late Valentine's Day treat - we arrived on 29 February 2024 and left on Sunday 03 March 2024. The cottage is in a very isolated and very peaceful area - The Lhen, in Andreas - which is what we wanted! The cottage was nice and cosy inside and was full of character - but, with all the current mod-cons you would want. It was very interesting to read about the history of the cottage, its previous owners and the surrounding neighbourhood. We saw a a young rabbit, a pheasant and various other birds in the cottage's garden. We did a bit of stargazi...more
Lovely big rooms, the larger bedroom has a very comfortable bed. Even in October the views were lovely with some spectacular waves! The bathrooms did smell a bit ‘musty’, but spotlessly clean. I will definitely return.
The photos don’t do it justice, spacious and really well equipped with dishwasher., washing machine and dryer. Location is awesome with Milner Tower just a short walk away. Views from the living room and kitchen in this upside down house are stunning. Highly recommended.
Well equipped and comfortable cottage. Lovely rear garden. Shower is a bit tight. The best customer service we have ever experienced. The people at Island Escapes go above and beyond. We already have a return booking.
Fantastic property in a beautiful setting. Owners very helpful, couldnt fault a thing Lovely gardens surrounding the property with lots of wildlife.
The Bryer was great and had all we needed to relax. The beds were very comfortable and we enjoyed our stay there. Hopefully we will return. The Anderson family and Island Escape were very helpful.
The house was very clean and had a number of items there on our arrival such as milk, butter and the usual items. The location is perfect with the beach 20 yards away and the shops and pubs very close by as well. We would stay again.
Golf View is in a great location as it’s only a few minutes walk to the shops & beach, with fantastic views across the golf course. It was very clean & comfortable, and parking was an added bonus. We had several car free days, when we used the train to get around (which we highly recommend). We would definitely stay here again.
West View is a beautiful old property that is well-equipped for any length stay. There are two floors, and stairs (as mentioned in the property description) that could be a challenge for those with mobility issues. We were able to navigate them without problems. The property is set back in a green area that is beautiful and quiet. It is also located right across the street from bus stops that can connect you almost anywhere on the Isle of Man, which was very convenient for our stay as we didn't hire a car. An excellent experience all around!
Very nice clean , very comfortable, i know we had the problem with the heating what was a little uncomfortable as we had vulnerable adults in the house but on the end was resolved and we got a little refund
The Lodge was ideally located for us just nicely out of Douglas but not too far from amenities, shops etc. The property was ideal a few minor things of note - nothing diabolical - the pillows on the beds could do with renewing, the kitchen tap needed a little maintenance - but overall a good property to stay in. The kitchen was very well equipped, the property was warm and comfortable and very clean. The welcome pack was very welcome especially if you were to arrive late. Overall a good stay.
This is the third time I have stayed here the house is great. Spacious, modern and a great location is Ramsey
Very nice clean establishment, enjoying staying there although the bed is a bit low for me and I struggled to get up. The weather was dreadful but no one can do anything about it, a mat of sorts would be ideal just inside the back door, the one there now is too small for two people coming in from the rain to wipe their shoes on. The food was a nice little surprise and gratefully accepted, all in all a lovely place and nice stay, thank you Island Escapes
The house is clean and tidy with good facilities. The stairs are typical of an old fisherman's house however so not ideal for elderly or disabled people. The beds were comfortable and the diner/lounge big enough for our party of 5 including a nine year old. Be aware that there is no parking space and you are on a restricted corner, so be careful when exiting the doors. We parked on the promenade (a couple of minutes away)
Sea View is a lovely, beautifully furnished apartment that really lives up to its name with amazing views. It is very comfortable and was perfect for our needs. The apartment itself was very clean and well-equipped with everything you need including a coffee machine! It was perfectly located for me to get up in the morning and walk the dogs down the cliff path to the beach or alternatively to walk on the public footpath across the golf course. Beautiful views in all directions! Port Erin out of season is quiet but still offers enough for those of us not wanting night life! It made a gre...more
We stayed for 3 nights and could not fault, Shee Dy Vee. Beautiful cottage that is well equipped and well maintained, everywhere was immaculate. Comfortable beds, amazing kitchen with everything you need. Amazing views and plenty of parking. No issues re mobility/steps at front of property, just reverse your car up the drive, to the side door of the property. Thank you for the Welcome Pack of food too. We'd stay here again!!!
I particularly enjoyed the stunning view from the breakfast table looking out over the bay in the mornings - just beautiful! Very well appointed and clean modern kitchen. Light and airy, comfortable and warm ground floor apartment - lovely to come back and relax in after a day outdoors. Fabulous location for walks along the southern coast and around the harbour, and close to golf courses and sandy beaches. Hosts readily available for any queries - but nothing extra was needed. Allocated car parking spot enabled direct access via french doors to the master bedroom which was very con...more
Lovely house, very homely. Slight walk up the hill from the front. View onto sea front amazing. Thanks for the arrival present of cheese and milk. All very clean. We got the heating working after texting island escape very easy communication. Would recommend this stay.
1 Charles Street West a perfect place for a four night trip to Peel. The house is warm, cosy and very well equipped. It is a small cottage (especially with a baby that's just learnt to walk!) so bear that in mind if you're considering a longer stay, but for a small group and a short stay it was ideal. Be prepared to park a short (3 min) walk away but loading/unloading is easy if you're organised as you can pull over in Market St, around the corner. You're really in the heart of Peel, which is lovely, and in a great place to explore the island. We will be back! Highly recommend, and Island Esca...more
Cosy two bedroom cottage in the centre of Castletown, a lovely part of the Isle of Man. Great location for exploring, everything is within a short walking distance, and there are frequent buses to the airport, Douglas and Port Erin. Enough space downstairs with a kitchen/lounge and a lounge/dining room, but both double bedrooms small with very little storage space. Floors and surfaces were clean, but a lot of cobwebs above. Kitchen was well equipped but too many cups and glasses chipped or cracked. Island Escapes were helpful in allowing us to stay two extra nights due to the ferries being can...more
Great place ideal location zo we were bear family that live here absolutely lovelly place to stay definatly cone back again
Great location for exploring the North of the island with wonderful views which were greatly enhanced by the lambs at the bottom of the garden - much to my kids delight. Lovely cottage with everything you could ask for and more. After a day out the kids enjoyed using the barn and available tables/games to wind down. Would definitely return.
The apartment was spotless , very well equipped with everything you would need for a self catering holiday and the welcome pack was marvellous . The hosts were very welcoming and in season do afternoon teas , which I’m sure would be delicious . You need to be able to climb stairs because although listed as a garden apartment , it’s not on the ground floor , the outdoor seating area was more of a courtyard . The apartment itself is over two floors , but is at the rear of the building. We didn’t have a car , but the area is served by an excellent bus service , at the top of the road and also...more
Loved our stay here with friends. The cottage was a great size for 2 couples and a teenager, was very well equipped and perfectly placed for us. We had a great week walking the local area, visiting Port Erin and the wider Isle of Man. Weather wasn't great but the conservatory on the front gave great views when it was sunny.
House was well appointed with everything needed. Nice touch to provide soap, washing up liquid and a small welcome pack. Perhaps some tea and coffee rather than cheese? Cottage more stylish than cosy but in a really good location. Realy small second bedroom with very limited storage.
Our family with 2 young children had a great week in the Isle of Man, exploring the whole island from our accommodation. The living area and kitchen combined meant we were all together, with nice window seats looking out. There is separate space to spread out and the balcony allowed us to eat outside a few times. It was nice to explore the fruit and pond in the garden and fields and see the hens and ducks. Would be happy to return here, because we definitely want to visit the Island again.
We loved our stay at The Tower. Everything we needed (and more) in the most unique way and in beautiful surroundings. Our favourite time being the mornings, sat with a coffee watching the lambs while the chickens meandered by. John and Fiona are the best of hosts, available if needed but allowed us to just get on. Thank you so much. We can’t wait to stay again.
Information in black folder in house needs updating. Most of the pots and pans are not suitable for an aga style cooker. There were a lot of cobwebs above the cooker.
Stayed for work and could not have been more comfortable. I have rented various places over the years i have been coming to the Island, but this has to be the best i have stayed in. Location was great and the views when the mist cleared were very good. When work brings me back i will be hoping that Scenic view is available.
Very clean and served the purpose of the visit. Out of hours service team was 5star. We also appreciated the little touches that were left at the property for our arrival. Main issue was Wi-Fi, which was not working due to only using a Mi-Fi device not great as was unable to connect or get a signal. We recommend staying at the corner house if you’re not interested in having internet for the duration of your stay.
Had a lovely stay at this property. Very clean and tidy, comfortable beds and had everything we needed. Bath was also much larger than it appears in the pictures whoch was a bonus. There is no parking outside the property but had no issue with finding on street parking nearby. Would advise anyone coming by car to come from Park Road end as the other end of the road is very narrow with tight bends. Would happily stay again if we return.
I filled in the paper feedback at the cottage too Everything about the holiday was fine but as we don't use SatNav more details about finding the IOMSPC dock in Liverpool would have been helpful Once you are near the Waterfront it is hopeless and we found the Crowne Plaza, had a bite and you then have some discount on the carpark. Crowne plaza is just by the dock Island Escapes organising the ferry and hotel was really appreciated and we were delighted with the Ascot (so much so we returned there for b'fast before the ferry home!)
We found the modernised cottage very comfortable. Modern kitchen was easy to use Nice shower room Large bath in the comfortable bedroom What a find with the garden Lovely place for a short break
We chose Knock Rushon House to celebrate our fathers 90th birthday as whole family, the property was large enough to take 14 adults and 3 children with rooms to spare, the main kitchen/living area was a great space to be together and celebrate. The bedrooms are plentiful (10) comfortable and well configured, plenty of bathrooms which all functioned great, some were slightly better than others but no issues. We hired an outside caterer for the main even on the Saturday evening and it was. Great success with us all seated comfortably round the huge kitchen table. We made use of the good size...more
Location was good, easy to get everywhere, I feel the property needs a little updating, especially the shower and also needs an extractor fan in the bathroom to help get the dampness out. The property is equipped well enough it just feels a bit tired and dated.
Good location with short distance to town square for shops and Hotel/ Food. Small cottage on Mill Road, no parking outside. (Nearby roads can be used 5-10 minutes walk) Ideal to experience a Manx cottage for 2 people. Not very comfortable small double bed with lumpy pillows. No electric shaver point in bathroom (Needed to request a 2 pin adaptor plug from office in Castletown) Soft seats in lounge sofa. Very well equipped kitchen appliances and tableware etc. Garden overgrown - Weeds, needs maintenance.
A spacious, house in an ideal location close to the centre of Port St Mary and the beach. The cottage was well equipped with everything we needed and there was lots of room. We liked the large dining area for mealtimes and the large garden but unfortunately it was not warm enough to sit outside The cottage has amazing views from all windows and had lots of lovely places to walk nearby on the coastpath to Port Erin, Castletown and Peel. We enjoyed several rides in the steam train from Port St Mary and also on the electric tram from Douglas.
