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 looks super beautiful but the shower place is a open shower where the water spill happen little by little where we can see a damp and leak coming down to the kitchen ceilings. If they can put a door to the shower to avoid water spillage that would be amazing.
- there are no bins in the master bedroom or any rooms if they can provide that in future that would be amazing.

Thank you for the feedback regarding the shower and bathroom bins, we'll be sure to investigate these further.

Lovely place to stay

We had a lovely weekend stay with family.
The cottage is really a small house and beautifully done. We were very warm on a stormy weekend, to the point of turning the heating off one evening!
Thank you Island Escapes for everything you did to make our stay perfect.



Comfortable stay.

I cannot thank Island Escapes for the most beautiful cottage to enjoy a peaceful few days.

The cottage was luxurious, spacious and immaculate and was just what our family needed.

Many thanks to ALL the staff for ensuring we had a lovely holiday, and to Nick for booking the cottage that was simply perfect.
We will definitely book again and spread the word just how good Island Escapes are.

Cheers
Paula Quinney
(Only one tiny thing, the rug at front door is slightly too big and blocks the door and could be a trip hazard.)

We have stayed at number 1 previously and on this occasion stayed at number 2.
The cottages are both high quality and in a location that suits perfectly to visit relatives daily.
We found number 2 quieter as the main bedroom in number 1 is on to the roadside.
A towel rail and clothes airer would have been beneficial at Number 2 as would defrosting the freezer compartment of the fridge.

This was a family holiday to the island. The property we stayed in was clean and very well presented. Comfortable too. I would definitely stay here again if visiting the Isle of Man.



Excellent cottage. Excellent location. All very well managed. Thank you.

This cottage near Castletown is in the best part of the Isle of Man for walking which is our favourite holiday activity. The cottage seems new and is well furnished and equipped. Parking is on site always a great bonus. It also came with very good weather although I am not sure that this is always guaranteed. We had an excellent week. Many thanks.



Superb

superb location, close to the airport and short walk to bus stop to go any where on the island.
The cottage itself was brilliant and could not of asked for anything else(accept a hot tub haha!).
Very secure and felt at home instantly.

Very modern clean comfortable upmarket accommodation.Spacious and very relaxing. Plenty of room for 4 people
Everything you need is provided
For your stay.The only thing we couldn't find was instructions for the heating controls.
Any questions you have Nick in the office is very obliging and will help.Also having a car is very useful.
Having stayed in the cottages before we will definitely be using them again.

Me and my mum absolutely loved our stay.

Ballavoddan was beautifully presented - cosy, clean, comfortable, everything you’d want from self catering accommodation.

In a beautiful location, great for exploring the island. The cottage itself is easy to find yet very secluded and peaceful, being tucked away in the countryside!

Island Escapes was very helpful - their customer service is exceptionally good - you know that any problem really won’t be a problem for long.

Little details like the welcome hamper and enough hairdryers were welcomed.

Can’t wait to go back!



A great place to stay!

A very comfortable and pleasant stay at Ballavoddan Cottage.
All the things we needed for a self contained week were provided.

(A towel rail in the bathroom would be useful).

We cannot recommend the accommodation enough.
Please be aware that due to location and lack of taxis on the island during peak seasons it can be difficult to arrange a non driving evening out !



Great house in a great location.

We stayed for 5 days in this lovely house when attending a wedding on the IOM.
The house was beautiful - probably better than the pictures suggest.

We loved our stay at the cottage. It was very clean and well presented upon arrival, plus comfortable to stay in for the 6 days we were there.

They accommodated us with a travel cot but the house itself wasn’t super baby proof (nice furniture) and accessible kitchen cupboards.

There’s a couple of things we’d suggest that would have made the stay better. Any sort of radio or speaker would be great, as well as a coffee machine (Nespresso or such). Plus some hooks on the back of doors would be useful to hang towels from as there are few radiators in the cottage.

Bar those couple of points we had a great stay and would happily stay again! Thanks!

Great place very quiet . Bed comfy, great shower, kitchen well equipped. Only minor issues- no where to hand towels in bathroom and toilet room downstairs. IE responded very promptly when dealing with minor issue. Definitely stay again.
