We have stayed in self catering cottages all over the UK over the past 20 years and this is one of the best.

Quiet rural location close (walking distance) to Ballasalla village, shop, pharmacy, steam railway, Abbey restaurant, pub and more…

The cottage is well equipped the only thing it lacked was a towel rail or hooks and some toiletries (shower gel and shampoo) in the bathroom.

The gated courtyard is beautiful.

We would happily stay there again.

I loved hearing the distant sound of the steam train whistle this morning.

My friends and I were lucky enough to stay here at short notice for the weekend. The grounds and the cottage are stunning and very clean. It was helpful to have a contact number for Island Escapes as I needed help to access the cottage, they answered immediately and dealt with the situation quickly. Highly reccommended.

Such a lovely , comfortable , cozy , beautifully decorated and furnished place to stay . Could only suggest an EV charger point be installed in the car port to make it absolutely perfect for us !

We enjoyed our stay the location perfect for family but maybe not quite near amenities when walking.
We would have no hesitation in recommending the cottages.
Minor issues were only one black waste bag provided, no washing machine tablets (not products you what to buy during a short visit). Others included vents in the main bedroom and bathroom that will not close, the heating system (roon & underfloor) which we could not find how to reset. Nonetheless, we will reserve in the future as these minor issues are easily resolved.

4 motorcycle friends spending several days visiting
IOM along with watching MGP.
Accommodation was excellent and cannot recommend enough.
The only consideration to be made when staying is the lack of availability of taxis if you are planning evenings out and not wanting to drive.
There are simply not enough local taxis to satisfy demand especially when events such at MGP or TT on and the island is busy.

Once we worked out how to get to the cottage (road works closing one end of the lane were a surprise) it was fine! Cottage itself was lovely, very compact and attractive. A couple of minor additions like towel rails/hooks in the bathroom & a hairdryer would be useful but overall a great place to stay.



A very high standard accommodation

We stayed at cottage No.1 as a stop gap before moving into a rental, the cottage was spotless and very comfortable with every amenity we needed and more. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud!

There was a minor issue with the dishwasher and the oven gloves were missing bit we called the Island escapes team and somebody came out the same day to sort it, the service and response time from booking to checking out was excellent.

We have just relocated to the Island and have already recommended Ballavoddan to friends and family.

A lovely little home from home. Every little detail was gorgeous and we had such a great stay.
The location was great for us as we have a toddler and spent one morning exploring silverdale which was a 2 minute drive or 10 minute walk I imagine.
Our only complaint would be that the velux blinds in the bedroom weren’t blackout but other than that we couldn’t fault it!

Nice, cosy cottage but would benefit by supplying a hairdryer, oven gloves and perhaps bins in the bedrooms. Microwave was difficult to use too, we were only able to heat food in 30 second intervals, then having to repeat until the food was hot. Area was peaceful and the beds and the furniture were of good quality and comfortable. Would stay here again



Superb

The accommodation is in an old building and in a very private, gated area which has all been refurbished very recently. It is bright, new, clean and very tastefully decorated. With being there in the winter we were happy that it has outside lighting and a covered parking are and are looking forward to returning soon.
