At Pargys is a charming, mid-1800s cottage, enjoying an enviable position in the peaceful hamlet of Fistard, a short walk from Port St Mary, Isle of Man and near beautiful Glen Chass, and the lovely Perwick Bay.

A really cute cottage that’s perfect for those escape days,

We had an amazing time and after our second visit to pargys, we’ll definitely be back for more. Great place and really well located with great walks on the doorstep and peace and quiet all around. Thank you for a brilliant stay

We enjoyed our stay at At Pargys. It had everything we needed for a base to explore IOM. It was well-equipped, clean, spacious and comfortable.
The user guide was very good.

From our point of view some things could be better / but they are minor and we understand the constraints of an old cottage and we appreciated its quirky charm is its appeal.
The directions given from the town centre were too vague. A distance from town should be incorporated and some landmarks. (We arrived very late in the dark and were lucky to find it). The cottage was very cold on arrival at 14degrees. The kitchen worktop area is very limited especially near the sink. The bowl arrangement is awkward. The smoke detector is too sensitive. You can’t boil an egg or make toast without it going off. Some TV user instructions would be helpful.

Lovely location but wasn't aware was up a hill. Plenty of room with just about everything we needed (except a corkscrew!). We arrived in a very wet and windy afternoon so were pleased to see that a few basics were provided (bread, milk, butter and cheese and a basket of tea, coffee and sugar). There was also cleaning supplies including tea towels and washing up liquid.
Our weather was fairly good so it was nice to be able to sit in the garden.
Was a great base for exploring the island. Not a lot in Port St Mary but just a stone's throw from Port Erin and Castletown. So much to see but not enough time! We had a lovely time and would return here.

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.

An ideal base in the Port of St Mary.
Pargys is ideal for a family and has great size rooms. It also has a lovely garden area.
Parking can be an issue as it is on stret parking that can be busy. If you had 2 cars you would really struggle.
Due to the age of the property, it is damp and smelt very musty... need to leave windows open.
Even though it was July we needed the heating on in the evening, as it was cold inside.
The beds are very comfy, and the linen was spotless, the house was clean inside and basics provided like toilet roll and hand soap/washing liquid (had been very watered down though)
There are many island escapes properties in the area that I would look at next time rather than here due to the condition of the house.
If the damp problem was addressed and minor improvements made, then I would happily stay again.

Very happy with the cottage itself: Well equipped, lovely garden, quiet and comfortable. The description prior to booking has some glaring omissions/inaccuracies! The 'pin' dropped on the map to show location shows it before the nearby golf course, when it is after. This made it difficult for us to locate on the first night. The description states 5 minutes from the nearest bus stop - it doesn't say BY CAR! And up a VERY steep hill! Hauling our cases the first night we were almost ready to give up when we were rescued by some friendly locals who helped us get there. In fact, even without cases I think the quickest we made it up the hill was about 17 minutes. I am mobility challenged and this climb was so difficult we had to plan our holiday around only doing it once a day. This clearly had an impact on our itinerary. Also the description states it is 200m from the beach. If this is meant to be Perwick Bay that is at the bottom of a cliff. The nearest accessible swimming beach is Chapel Beach in Port St Mary - another half mile or so on from the steep walk to the nearest bus stop, which itself is over half a mile. The description needs to be amended to accurately reflect the location challenges. With a car however, this would be a lovely place to stay. On foot, and with any mobility issues, definitely not!

My friend and I visited May 2023. The cottage was lovely. Well equipped and very clean. The area was handy for visiting the whole island as well as what quickly became our favourite place: the Sound. Thank you.

Stayed here with our grown up children, plenty of space for all and everything we needed in the house. Very comfortable in a peaceful location and a short walk to Perwick Beach, which is stunning. Would definitely recommend to others.

The cottage is lovely but smells damp and the "double bed" was much too narrow for two adults to sleep on. Otherwise the place is lovely and had everything you need

The house had enough space for us and everything we needed for our stay. The beds are super comfortable and the linen felt clean and fresh. The garden felt secluded and Fistard is very quiet and peaceful.

As with lots of Manx buildings, Pargys is pretty damp, and we had to crank up the central heating on the first night (in July) to chase the cold out.

Two of the bedrooms are upstairs but there is a small back bedroom off the living room (built into the hill). Luckily we didn’t need to use it because it absolutely stank of fox. This is a bit strange as there are no foxes on the Isle of Man, and there wasn’t much else in the room other than the bed.
