Just off the promenade in Douglas, Little Haven is a cosy cottage refurbished to a high standard.

Pleasant but sparsely furnished

The house was comfortable and clean but living room areas were a bit stark… particularly the front living room. No small tables or place to put drinks if sitting in there - same with second living room. Second bedroom not really a double. Cramped for one person with limited space around bed and very limited hanging space.. Not suitable for 2 adults. Pleasant but basic for a 4* self catering. Shower heads need replacing. Car park barrier doesn’t work and needs replacing. Staff were very helpful in resolving some minor issues quickly.

We were pleased to have chosen Little Haven for a last minute trip to the Isle of Man in September 2024. The property met our expectations and provided a convenient base for visiting other parts of the island. I would happily stay here again.

Fantastic property, fitted out to a high standard. Within walking distance to bars, restaurants and tourist attractions.
Parking was a bonus. We has an issue with keys on arrival, but it was quickly resolved by the excellent Island Escapes team.
Would highly recommend.

Great staff, house was easy to find and check-in was easy, they also let us know we could check in an hour early which was helpful.
Would recommend, and we will be using Island Escapes next time we visit.

House was well appointed with everything needed. Nice touch to provide soap, washing up liquid and a small welcome pack. Perhaps some tea and coffee rather than cheese?

Cottage more stylish than cosy but in a really good location. Realy small second bedroom with very limited storage.

Clean and comfortable.
Didn't actually spend much time in the house as there was so much to see and do on the island on our first visit.
Handy for the electric tram, buses and the horse tram.
Quiet location.
A pleasant enough holiday home for a week.

While the welcome pack was a nice touch I would have found provision of washing up liquid, toilet rolls and bin bags more useful.
The balcony had broken glass on it and no outdoor furniture.

Thank you for your feedback. We apologise about the broken glass. This was from an outdoor light which we think has been damaged in the weather. For the same reason we keep the outdoor furniture at the bottom of the exterior staircase away from the elements! We are glad to hear you enjoyed your stay at Little Haven despite these issues!

Perfect place to explore the island from

Just at the edge of the citycentre Little Have was a perfect place to explore the island from. It is quite spacious and comfortable enough to spend a day at home in case of bad weather. Beds are comfortable. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need. Washer and dryer are new. There is a clear explanation present on how to use everything.
We had a few questions, which were quickly answered per mail. Contact with Island Escapes is easy, friendly and swift.

Location is good for lots of tourist attractions.
Downstairs was well equipped with everything we needed. General cleanliness was poor. The carpets didn’t look like they had been hoovered. The bathroom is very tired. A mouldy bath mat and the plughole in the bath looks like it has never been cleaned.
Parking wars! A small parking space available that has a bollard which we were given no instructions about. We had a neighbour knocking so loudly on the door that it shook the house. This was at 11pm insisting we move up. I had 2 small children staying with me.
Very expensive for the quality i would not book again.

We were pleased we decided on Little Haven for our 1st visit to IOM. Communication straightforward and friendly. Very clean and quiet accomodation. Comfy bed. Great transport links to reach most of the island from Derby Castle nearby. M&S in Douglas and a walk through Summerhill Glen down the road took us to a supermarket. Terminus Pub handy for end of day drink. No hesitation in recommending.

Peaceful location with parking place. Only issue was with the boiler x2 it had lost pressure so had no hot water. Called maintenance number and they responded quickly, i think they were aware of an issue as they stated it would want topping up but was behind a panel. This was the only complaint with the cottage.

We stayed as a family of 4 and really enjoyed our stay. Very home from home as was so well equipped and had everything we needed. Beds very comfortable, the roof terrace is a gorgeous little spot to unwind and the location is fantastic. The parking space is tight but manageable and we had no issues getting in and it it, would definitely recommend.

It was the most hot summer week in 2022. I have enjoyed calm stay in the apartment. All instructions given are on the beginning a bit difficult to follow but in the end it's all good. The localization is a big advantage. A lot of places to see, where to eat, also to get a delivery. All was left clean and tidy. Previous vacationers left the dishwasher in a bit unpleasant condition, the pan drawers were chaotic, some of tools had rice stuck on. Happens... I made sure to leave washing machine open due to moisture building up and mold. In the apartment was plenty of space for all stuff. I have found everything needed. The bed was very comfortable, close to the bathroom. A good feature was the presence of two bathrooms (one downstairs, one upstairs). Smart TV with build-in DVD easy to use.
In such hot days I had to keep all windows shaded to lower the temperature. Unfortunately all of them were key-locked so I couldn't open them. Lack of the air conditioner in bedroom made the nights a bit sweaty. Useful was to keep balcony open but I wasn't feeling comfortable to leave it open overnight - everyone could access our bedroom from the balcony if it's not closed. I have contacted the service to fix the jacuzzi but unluckily I had to stay without using it. I think poor communication confused me the most. There was one day a sudden noise when someone came to jet-wash all the windows + balcony. I wasn't expecting anyone on that day but even later someone came into our apartment by using their keys (very lucky that I was dressed). At least I got the apology and information where are parking keys (old informations in information folder given).
Despite small confusions, I recommend staying in the Little Haven.

We enjoyed our stay at Little Haven although we felt we were some distance from the heart of the town.
Very clean and contemporary inside.
Also it would have been nice to be a little closer to a convenience store .
The local pub The Terminus was very close by and a lovely way to end a day with a drink overlooking the bay .

The cottage was easy to find, and well situated close to the Promenade, Electric Railway and Summer Hill Glen (delightful). It is well-equipped, with a luxurious bath, and generally comfortable. We were able to lock our bikes up to the outside spiral staircase.We found it pretty comfortable. Threre were w few niggles - the key to the roof terrace didn't work (we were assured that it would be replaced) neother did the dishwasher. The bedding was a bit warm for summer and a tea-towel would have been handy. That said, it was a great base for a splendid holiday - assisted by the presence of a comprehensive public trnsport timetable, which, with a Go Explore card, amde getting around the island easy and fun.

What a fantastic cottage, thank you. Couldn't fault it. We came over as foot passengers without a car, so didn't need to park, but the space was empty all week. We used the excellent public transport instead.

Lovely cottage. Clean and well equipped. Quiet location but quite a walk from the centre of Douglas. We were fine and the walking was good exercise but probably wouldn’t suit anyone with mobility issues. Good value.

Our family of 2 adults and 2 young children stayed here last week and had a very enjoyable visit. The house was spotless and clutter-free, and the kitchen was very well-equipped for family living. Both bedrooms were spacious and comfortable with plenty of room to unpack. It is well situated for access to Douglas Promenade and trams and buses so ideal for visitors without a car. The main niggle we had with the property is that the parking space provided was almost inaccessible most of the week due to the parking of the neighbours, despite the efforts of the owners to keep the space free. There is, however, street parking a short walk away or on the prom.

Lovely little cottage in a very good location close to Douglas Promenade.
Only downside is parking, property has a dedicated parking space but every evening another vehicle was parked in it meaning we had to park some distance from the property.
