Gatekeeper's Cottage is a beautifully restored cottage located right beside the Isle of Man Steam Railway in Port St Mary.

Lovely cottage next to the steam railway.

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 not ideal for relaxing in after a long day exploring the scenic coast and countryside.
Being a new holiday accommodation we have made a few suggestions to the holiday company where some simple improvements, we feel, would make this cottage absolutely perfect instead of almost perfect.
We would definitely book it again if we came back to the Isle of Man.

We actually live on this beautiful island and we don't visit this part of the island often enough. The cottage was extremely well equipped and very comfortable. There was a welcome pack of bread milk, butter and cheese which was a nice surprise. The steam train went by the window several times, which was lovely to see.
We had Storm Kathleen visit while we were there and the winds were really strong. Despite this we got out and about and found some beautiful places to visit. We actually saw seals at the Sound inspite of very high winds. It was a really relaxing break away .
The only criticism would be that the television was only connected to YouTube. With the storm we found, of an evening we wanted to settle in.
In all I would definitely recommend a stay here.
