This is our second visit to Mariner's house. This house has been designed to a beautiful standard with lots of attention to detail.
The kitchen facilities provide you with everything you need to cook meals for the family. The house is warm and cozy. The beach is literally across the road, and our dogs loved their daily walks. You have within a short walk two beach cafes, a pub, and an Italian restaurant. The house has a small enclosed courtyard which is perfect for the dogs with a very nice seating area which is a sun trap in the afternoon / early evening. The owners of the property have thought of everything from dog towels and dog toys, to a basket of toys for children, and cupboards full of board games and books. On arrival, we had all the essentials provided for us which made our stay even easier.
We would highly recommend this property.

What a lovely house, so close to the beach, our dog loved it. Mona Lisa Italian restaurant is just s short walk as is Shore Hotel. Both super. No shops in walking distance. This didn't worry us at all. Basin in top floor bathroom and bathriom off 1st floor landing were tiny. Too small to wash your face. Otherwise all excellent. Highly recommend. Extremely well equipped eg hairdryer in each bedroom. Thank yoi

We had every high class comfort on the inside of the cottage and all the amenities we needed on the outside for us and our 2 dogs.
We totally recommend this property.
Our only drop on the stars was a degree of nervousness about no blinds at the bathroom windows when the neighbours behind could see in every time they walked past. Also the WiFi and tv dropped out on a regular basis. Not a game changer but frustrating at times.

Lovely property in a good spot in Laxey although it is overlooked at the back (yard isn’t very big either) and a house in front of it. Only parking for 1 car right outside the property and a bit tight as on the street, plenty of parking over on the seafront through. As with another property I recently staying in with island escapes there are no curtains just blinds so would recommend bringing eye cover for sleep! Nice size lounge WiFi was a bit dodgy whilst I was there, kitchen a little on small side for the size of the house but still good enough, master bedroom and bathroom were gorgeous. No telly in bedroom as per another property I stayed in through island escapes not sure if this is just through all their properties but did miss having telly in bed! All in all a nice place in a good location but it is about 20/30 min walk to the closest shop.

Mariners House is comfortable cosy and very clean.It is beautifully decorated with comfy seating and beds.The location is perfect next to the lovely safe Sandy beach.Everything you could need for a holiday is provided and we appreciated the beach towels as some of the group went for early swims.We have been to many self catering properties and would have to rate this as one of the best.The service from Island Escapes was also great -friendly prompt and very helpful.We are already planning our next visit !

Lovely House in a great location. Party of 4 adults 1 child, plenty of room for us all. On arrival everything was ready and clean. Laxey is a quiet part of IOM this is what we wanted. Easy access to beach and Harbour (few minutes walk)
Unfortunately Laxey Wheel was still under restoration so couldn't climb to the top!
Well stocked Kitchen, more than enough of everything
Toys and Games including beach toys
Comfy lounge area
Comfy bedrooms
Would come again.




Our second visit, and will be back, superb, ditto for our dogs!

This house has been beautifully modernized and furnished. Everything is beautiful with quality furnishings, kitchen equipment and bathroom toiletries. It is in a great location for Laxey Beach. Its just a shame that there is a house blocking the view from the sitting room. My only niggle is that I had to pay extra for a cot and high chair on top of what was already a steep nightly rate. £10 to hire a high chair that only cost £15 in the first place feels like overcharging.

Beautifully decorated property, with lots of attention to detail. To name just a few; Alexas in each room, good wifi, Netflix, very warm easy to use heating, great showers with beautiful soaps and creams, lovely easy to use kitchen with everything you need. Perfect little garden area for the dogs, with seating which must be lovely in the summer. Friendly and helpful neighbours. Pub & restaurant 5 mins walk away, two cafes 2 mins walk away.

Extremely spacious and comfortable for 5 adults, warm and tastefully decorated.
Great location to reach everywhere we wanted to visit, but a short hop and a skip to the beach.
Just fabulous and will definitely aim to stay here again on our next visit.

very pleasant stay- lovely house- unfortunately there were a lot of flies in the house which did spoil meal times etc. they were only down stairs- fly spray did not make a difference.



John @ Island Escapes replied more than 1 year ago
Thanks for your review and comments. It was surprising to hear about the flies, which we expect may have come in from the sea and beach due to unusual weather conditions.

Memorable stay.

Stunning house in perfect location. Beautifully decorated and kitted out with everything you need for a relaxing stay. A short stroll to The Shed, Laxey Beach Cafe for breakfast, and supper at La Mona Lisa. Drinks at the refurbished Shore Hotel. Walks and rockpooling with grandchildren on the fabulous beach. The perfect family break.

Wow wow wow! Mariners house is an outstanding self catering property and an absolute joy to holiday in.
It is beautifully decorated throughout, with lots of high tech gadgets to make your stay feel extra special.
Island escapes went out of their way and made our holiday complete with balloons and bubbly for my husbands 40th birthday. Our party of 6 were blown away by the high standard of the property and the generosity of the team at Island escapes. We cant thank you enough.

The location is brilliant, just off the beach in Old Laxey with ice cream, snacks at "The Shed" , a very friendly pub and an Italian restaurant within 2 minutes walk. Mariners house is perfect, every facility you could need, everything in perfect condition, you couldn't ask for more.

We had a staycation for 3 nights as a family of 4. The house is really nicely decorated and very clean - everyone was really impressed on arrival. It has everything you could want and lots of extra touches like toys, beach toys and books for the kids. It's a stone's throw from the beach (a 7 second timed sprint by a 6 year old) and we went every day. There is a little grassy village green and a play park right by the house. Great cafes, a pub and a family friendly Italian restaurant a very short walk away. There is loads to do in the area - it would be a fantastic base for a family holiday in the Isle of Man. We asked our kids for their rating and they have both given it 5 out of 5!

Mariner's House was an ideal property for us to take our daughter and grandchildren on a staycation this summer. The house is very comfortable and well equipped - with extra thought given to needs of our daughter's dog too! The position just off the seafront is ideal and walks on the beach before breakfast and before bed were just what was needed. We were also well placed to walk eastern sections of the Raad ny Foillan (Coastal Footpath). We have already recommended Mariner's House to relatives that hope to visit next year and would have no hesitation in recommending further. We'd love to return sometime too!

Our expectations were surpassed the minute we walked in. The ambience is relaxing and you really do feel like you are on a beach holiday. The property is so beautifully decorated and spacious, ideal for a family break and entertaining. The location is just perfect, right by the beach and close to all Laxey has to offer including the ice cream parlour - warning to the dieters! The little additional touches made us feel right at home and so welcomed. Even our furry friend had a special basket filled with treats and handy bits. The house has everything you could possibly need and want for an enjoyable and relaxing break. The beds were super comfy and we loved falling asleep to the sound of the waves and waking up to the views of the beach from our rooms. We could not recommend enough and will definitely be back. Our only regret is that we didn’t stay longer!

Mariner's House is ideally located on the prom in Laxey and has stunning views from it's upper floors of the beach and out to sea. It is brilliantly equipped and all fixtures, fittings and furnishings are of a high standard. We loved the extra touches of beach items if you have children and games etc for wet days. We were on a staycation, but for anyone who comes to visit this property from foreign shores you could not get a more perfect location. We will definitely try to visit again - although it is booking up fast!!!

My wife and I stayed with our 2 year old and 4 month old baby and had a wonderful time. Being so close to the beach was a huge plus, and the beach toys provided were a lovely touch. Our little boy also loved the toy box in the living area and books provided. The house is well laid out with comfortable beds and modern bathrooms and we didn’t want to leave!

Nice decor and excellent cleanliness. We liked the entertainment options for family with little kids.

We expected a better sea view. Unfortunately, the view from the living room and the first-floor bedroom is obstructed by the house in front.
Living room sofas could have been more comfortable.

We loved our stay at Mariners House, the place is beautiful and has everything you need for the perfect stay.

Location is great (right on the beach) which meant we were able to take advantage of lots of lovely walks, plus a meal in La Mona Lisa round the corner. The kitchen is equipped with everything you could possibly need to cook breakfast lunch and tea, and the milk, cheese, butter, tea, coffee etc. were really appreciated. Cosy lounge, comfy beds, lovely en suite with big bath, and we loved the 'nook' at the top of the house - perfect for reading a book or watching the waves.

We stayed as a couple but it's plenty big enough for a group of friends or family. We'll definitely be back!

The house was immaculate and was like home from home. Everything we needed was provided and comfortably catered for 6 adults.
Would highly recommend staying at the house and we will be booking again soon. Thank you Island Escapes for the Birthday prosecco

Beautiful house! Beautiful location! Makes us want to visit Laxey more often! The place was spotless, and the amenities were so vast - everything in the kitchen you could ever need. Lovely touch with the cricket bat - we played down on the beach one evening. Loved that we could bring the dog with us. 5 minute walk to Mona Lisa. The beds were incredibly comfy! Loved our stay and would love to go again!

What a superb little gem Mariners House is. It has been renovated to a really high standard and has anything and everything you could ask for whilst self catering. The welcome pack of cheese, butter, bread and milk etc. was really appreciated, along with tea, coffee, sugar, toilet roll, cleaning products etc etc - plus all the games and even boogie boards! The quick dry beach towels were also a hit. Couldn't be in a better location a stones throw from laxey beach. The Shed, Laxey Cafe, Mona Lisa all in walking distance with pubs, parks and glens nearby. We will 1000% return. I'd recommend to anyone without hesitation.

We loved our stay here. It was great being so close to the sea but still in a quiet location. Right next to the Shed and Laxey Beach Cafe which we took advantage of! Also ate in Mona Lisa and the Laxey Glen which were both delicious. Had the windows open every night so I could hear the waves. Very modern with Alexa in most rooms! Only downside was the tiny sinks in 2 of the toilet rooms but not much to do about that due to the space. We would love to come back and it already feels like a second home!

We are a young family of 5 with little knowledge of the Laxey area, so this property appealed to us a base to explore this side of our island. The house is in an ideal location for the beach and a small park. Free parking nearby and the bonus of The Shed, La Mona Lisa Italian restaurant and a great pub all within walking distance. The house is beautifully decorated in an 'Ikea' style with some lovely touches. Children toys, boogie boards and sweets on arrival delighted the boys. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend booking through Island Escapes, who made the process so easy. 10/10
