What a wonderful stay.
From really good communications before arrival and great interactions with the Castletown branch and our housekeeper, which allowed us to drop bags early and then be notified once ready to check in. Very generous and thoughtful extras, bathrobes, luxury toiletries and more than expected essentials so you could manage a light breakfast and excellent coffee without a shop visit. Extremely clean and comfortable with really good linen and towels. Heating can easily be overridden, small issue with remote control blinds upstairs, so missed the harbour view from there, but that made us get down and enjoy the harbour views from the breakfast bar. This is an exceptional property fully deserving of 5 stars in such an historic setting. We can't wait to return.

Ellan Vannin is a wonderful property, comfortable, spotless and well appointed.
Our only suggestion would be that there could be more coathangers. There were only two in each cupboard. (We brought in some more)

We stayed here for a week for my brother's wedding. The accommodation was amazing! Perfect location....easy access to the bus route, SHORT walk to pubs and places to eat (plus, Costa right across the street), perfect walks nearby, and a gorgeous view! We would 100% stay here again. Can't go wrong!!

This property is absolutely wonderful. The rooms are spacious and very well appointed. The beds are very comfortable, with top quality bedding. The showers have a decent water pressure, and the toiletries provided are of a high standard. The kitchen has everything needed for self- catering, and the views from the living room are lovely. Island Escapes were extremely professional and helpful, both before our arrival and in helping in person with small concerns

Second time we have stayed at Ellan Vannin. Location is perfect, overlooking harbour, mini supermarket very close by as are several good restaurants. Accommodation is spotlessly clean and well equipped. Beds are very comfy. Good customer service from Island Escapes, emails responded to quickly. Parking outside was not possible as very limited spaces which were already taken each day but parked on car park and did not need to use the reserved spaces as was easy to park near the sea wall where there are no restrictions on time. Can walk to the steam train and get the train to Douglas. Highly recommended.

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!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Ellan Vannin, great location and a lovely house.
Booking it with Island Escapes was very easy and they were friendly and helpful throughout.
They were close by in Castletown and we had to call in on the first day as we couldn’t find a hairdryer, and as it had EVERYTHING else we thought it odd. Unfortunately someone from previous visits had taken all of them ! This was very quickly rectified by the helpful staff who went out and bought a new one, and put it in the house for us.
I think a previous review mentioned that a coat stand would be a great addition in the hall, we agree that it would.
We loved the house and would have no hesitation in booking it again. And if we chose a different location we would certainly book with Island Escapes.

Myself and some family members stayed here for 5 nights for my daughters wedding. The house is stunning. Spotlessly clean and lovely comfy beds. Lots of room for everyone.
The location right on the harbour front is perfect. Castletown is a lovely small town with easy access to other parts of the island. The steam train even stops there. My daughter got married in the castle just 2 minutes away, so absolutely perfect for my family.

We had a brilliant stay at Ellan Vannin. Property was immaculately clean and beds extremely comfortable. I was very impressed with Island Escapes and how easy it was to book the holiday. They also helped with booking the ferry which was much appreciated. Property is ideally located opposite the castle and a great pub and with view of the harbour and sea.

There a few things which would perhaps have made the stay even better. An inside lock on front door would have been appreciated. Coat stand or hooks in hallway so we had somewhere to hang our wet coats. Pint glasses in the kitchen as we are beer drinkers. It was also quite difficult to locate the carpark so maybe a map would have been helpful.

All in all a brilliant stay and I'm sure we will come back to the Isle of Man.

Another excellent property from Island Escapes. Beautifully renovated and fitted out and with a roof terrace to enjoy in good days, and a wood burner for the other days, this is a delightful spot to watch the tides, boats and birds on the harbour. The property is in the heart of Castletown which has everything you might need within walking distance. Highly recommended.

Stayed in Ellen Vannin for a winter weekend trip with family of five. The accommodation is very tastefully decorated and very well equipped. It is located right by the harbour with fantastic views and within easy walking distance of facilities in Castletown. Parking was straightforward and the accommodation is an easy short drive from the airport.

This was our first vist to the IOM and wont be our last. We arrived on friday for a short 3 day break in mid october, arriving late to the property on thuraday night we where glad to find the entry was guarded by a key pad and not a traditional key, this made everything hassle free and we didnt need to contact anyone to arrange key transfer.

We entered the property to find a modern furnished appartment with all modern applicances. (Dishwasher, washing machine, smart TV)

The next few days where spend visiting the isle and doing lota it had to offer. A lost of the attractions where either cloaing or closed due to it being the end of the season.

The isle is wonderfull and the temprature was still mild in mid october.

All in all a wonderfull time was had. This was mad all the better by this wonderfull property

Short staycation with family. Thoroughly enjoyed by all. The accommodation was well appointed and very comfortable.. Only a couple of points to mention:
1. Could do with a mirror over chest of drawers in twin room.
2. Could do with litter bins in bedrooms.
3. ? Hair driers each bedroom
Small points, which did not deter from a great short break in exvellent accomodation. Would definately book again.

Fantastic property in excellent location. Spotlessly clean (not easy with a property this size!). Very well furnished with everything we needed. Contacted by Island Escapes a few days before arriving which was a bonus as I was worried about the keypad entry system (enter code, wait for bleep, green light, pull door slightly, push hard). Lady who phoned was so lovely and helpful. We parked outside on street no problem at all. Lovely to sit on rooftop on night and just relax and enjoy the view. Accommodation was perfect for us as we travelled with my mum and she was able to have privacy with bedroom and bathroom on ground floor and we had top floor.

The house is beautifully appointed with high quality furnishings and equipment. The beds & bedding were comfortable, although I would have welcomed a soft mattress cover on the upstairs bed. The location is superb, wonderful views from the upstairs sun room and terrace. Island Escapes rang us at 2 pm just as our ferry was docking to say it was ready for us, which was a bonus and we were very grateful for the welcome pack of tea, coffee, milk, bread and butter. Access was a little difficult until we got the knack - put in the code, pull the door a little then push firmly! The Co-op around the corner and Shoprite a little further along had all the provisions we required. Visits to the Castle, House of Keys and Maritime Museum are moments away, although the latter two are currently only open on Saturdays - enquire at the castle. Buses around the island run frequently from Castletown Square and there are steam trains running to Port Erin or Douglas from the pretty station where you can pick up a timetable.
The only criticism - at 7am 4 members of the party due to arrive after we had gone decided to use their code to enter the property. They apologised and quickly left. It transpired that they had gained access with a different code to us and both codes worked - this should not have been possible! Fortunately we were up and dressed at 7am.

The Isle of Man might not have been most people's choice for a winter break but with my family hailing from there I knew it was how I wanted to spend some time. The house was warm, perfectly located and ridiculously well specced, everything was just in perfect order and there were comfy dressing gowns hanging in the closet which I made liberal use of. The little terrace on the top floor was a beautiful touch, we did a little stargazing from there and toasted the Castle which was a stone's throw away. Whenever we needed a little more food for dinner or cola for the rum, the coop was so close a coat wasn't even required to pop out and fetch whatever was missing.

Perfectly presented, located and a pleasure to spend time there. My friends, family and I will definitely be going again!

We stayed at Ellan Vannin over Christmas. The house was very well presented and the Christmas tree was a nice touch!
Parking in the day was busy due to being so close to Costa. Great location for the square in Castletown . Not to keen on the ground floor bathroom not having great privacy from the pavement/road but overall a lovely stay.

What a gorgeous place. A very high end finish. Obviously the highlight being the balcony but every room is thoughtfully furnished to a high spec and spotlessly clean. The beds were very comfortable after busy days sightseeing and a few provisions left in the kitchen for our arrival were very welcome. Wish we’d had longer to appreciate all the facilities. Easy booking and entry to the property. The car sat nav took us the wrong way with the post code for 15mins though google maps on my phone sorted us out. A great stay

We shared the property with friends and really enjoyed sitting out on the balcony and the conservatory once the sun went in. Plenty of space for all of us and close to all amenities. Couple of minor issues which were dealt with very quickly. We have stayed at many properties through Island Escapes and would thoroughly recommend them.

Attractive property well furnished. Loved the prints on the walls. Enjoyed the conservatory and the outside terrace with fabulous views of the castle and harbour. Very convenient, central location.
Only criticism was the lack of kitchen equipment. Couldn't find a tea pot, no sieve or salad bowl and no serving dishes.

House is beautiful, position is perfect , overlooking the river, a few steps to Costa or the nearest pub ! Shops and restaurants are just a couple of minutes away. The roof terrace is perfect for relaxing and people watching. The house is very comfortable, and has everything you need, and is immaculately clean. Would be lovely in the winter as the lounge has a log burner. Would definitely stay here again .

We spent 6 nights away from Peel and were not at all disappointed.
Very comfortable; a home away from home, we could easily have stayed longer.
As per previous comments, a lock on the downstairs bathroom is required.

We were looking for a rental for 3 weeks due to home renovations & the Island Escape team have been great.
Ellen Vannin in Castletown is out 1st week of rental & it’s a fantastic property.
So much bigger then it looks from
Outside as we were worried this property would be too small but it’s perfect & great layout.
Great location in Castletown, walk to shops, restaurants, bus routes & also very quiet.
Only feedback is please add a blind to the helix window in the master bedroom as it’s light all night & also only 4 mugs in the house so just needs a few more added.
Would highly recommend this property. Thanks Island Escape Team & we are looking forward to moving to property number 2 today.

We stayed 3 nights in Ellan Vannin and it had the Wow factor. This beautiful property was spotless clean and had everything you needed for a luxurious 5* staycation. It’s perfect location looking over Castletown harbour and magnificent weather enabled us to use the balcony and use the house to its full potential. A welcoming pack was much appreciated.
We will definitely be back and recommend Ellan Vannin highly.

The only faults we can think of are; there was no lock on the down stairs loo and because we dropped lucky with magnificent weather a sun parasol and small drinks/ nibbles table on the balcony would have been appreciated.

That top bedroom is out of this world, and being sat with a glass of wine on the balcony was bliss!!

Thank you so much for a lovely weekend.

Attractive and sensitive decor, with Steam Packet motif echoing the building's historical use. Imaginitive use of space, without sacrificing usability. Lovely touch to have a card as a greeting and activities for children.

My only complaint is the playing cards were bust (though all present), I kept losing.

Ellan Vannin is a lovely property especially in the good weather. The location is perfect with everything you need on your doorstep and walking routes in all directions.

The quality of linen, towels, robes, toiletries etc was excellent for a holiday rental and the property has been modernised nicely. The showers are excellent too, loads of hot water and great pressure. We really enjoyed the views from the house and the roof terrace.

We had a couple of small niggles which Island Escapes resolved quickly. There were 5 of us staying and whilst there is plenty of room there are a few things that for us would improve the property further. They are a blind for the top floor bedroom velux window, a lock for the downstairs bathroom and some coat hooks in the hall.

All in all, a great stay and we would happily return.

Location was perfect on the Quay in Castletown. Beautifully refurbished with a high quality finish throughout. Island Escapes are always a pleasure to deal with.

Our 'staycation' at Ellan Vannin was a great success. A lovely property in a great location. We enjoyed actually staying in Castletown instead of visiting for the day from the north of the Island. Plenty of good walks to suit all tastes and abilities, nice atmosphere in the town and good pubs and restaurants. Island Escapes were all that one could wish for, and we will certainly book with them in the future.

Great location for staycation, in comfortable well equipped property. within easy reach of town centre pubs, restaurants and coastal walks. Just park the car and forget it. You won't be needing it until your going home. Highly recommended.

We loved our stay at Ellan Vannin. Island Escapes have put a lot of thought into making the facilities excellent and the little touches make a big difference, especially when travelling with young children. The welcome pack is just the icing on the cake. We had a fabulous stay and can’t wait to stay at one of their other properties in the near future.

The house was perfect! It had everything we could possibly need, it was spotless, and is in the perfect location. We had an amazing weekend and would definitely stay again. We will 100% be booking another staycation with Island Escapes!
