Firstly the location.
A tale of three sides is how I would put it. Side one overlooked the golf course and surrounding hills. Lovely views and quite relaxing to look out onto.
Side two over the Irish sea in the distance. Again a very relaxing outlook.
Side three from the bedroom windows is a bit of a disaster, overlooking some garages that look like they need knocking down. However it has to be said that there is no disturbance from this area.

When you enter the property you get a bit of a surprise, and a gashed head if you are not careful. Underneath the stairway is the washing machine and dryer. Now although I cannot fault the appliances that did what they are designed to do, the location of them is downright dangerous. You have to bend down to get to them, and keep reminding yourself to stay bent down as standing up would result in a sore head. I think it is the first time in my life I have had to load a washing machine on my knees for safety. You could perhaps get away with this arrangement if the concrete beam was padded, but it's not, and it is potentially very dangerous indeed.
The stairway to the accommodation itself smells musty. It was hard to say if it was a damp problem or just very old carpets that needed replacing. There was no sign of damp anywhere else so my money falls on very old carpets.

The accommodation itself.
A very well designed and thought out kitchen area. I was quite impressed overall with this side of the place. It was clean, easy to keep clean, and very functional. The oven is a touch small if you were cooking for a family, and it did lack a bit of cutlery, cups and plates, but overall I would give the kitchen a 10 out of 10.

It's open plan, so the dining area has to be considered alongside the kitchen. The table was good with solid chairs. But then you come to the living area.

My advice about the living area is redesign it. Get rid of the clutter, far too much of it. Shelves of books and games that look old and tatty. It's so very 1990's is that. Also too much ornamental stuff for my liking. It's crying out for a fresh modern look.

The bedrooms again desperately need a more modern look. The beds are firm but quite comfortable, the furniture is horrendously dated. It really needs to go. It has so much potential and space is not a problem.

The bathroom is practical, It was clean, and the shower was possibly the best electric shower I have seen in some time. Excellent. Very spacious bathroom also,

Overall, I would give the accommodation good marks. Much of my review may sound negative, but it is certainly not the worst place we have stopped in by far. It's good, with a bit of TLC it could be brilliant. We had an amazing week on the Island, and we never despaired at going back to the accommodation in the evening, so yes, we came away with a very positive impression.

The key was in the key box waiting for us to use. We had stayed at the apartment twice before. It has sea views from every window which is part of its attraction. It is also very comfortable for rainy days in. We have booked our stay for 2025 too.
Port Erin has a oldy world seaside resort charm. which always draws us back every year. The apartment is the ideal bolt hole for our stay.

The apartment was very good. Comfortable, well equipped with nice views.
Only concern was lack of instructions for kitchen equipment and a real problem with the slow draining from the bathroom sink.

A lovely property with great views. My scores were reduced by a couple of things. We were woken by renovation work in the flat below at 8am. Had we known work was taking place , we would have booked elsewhere. On arrival, we felt that the property could have had a better clean. Don’t get me wrong it wasn’t dirty as such, but it could have been more thorough in places. Found the pillows in the double room uncomfortable, but that is personal choice, I suppose. TV signal was poor so we had intermittent use of the TV. as there was a part missing to make Sky TV usable. To be fair to Island Escapes, Alex and his team were very responsive and tried deal with any issues immediately. It wouldn’t put me off coming back, but it wasn’t the best experience. Mainly due to the first morning being woken up by the builders, but I wouldn’t judge the property on that. The flat below is being renovated so I would check that the work is complete before booking if you are coming in the next few weeks.

Sea View is a lovely, beautifully furnished apartment that really lives up to its name with amazing views. It is very comfortable and was perfect for our needs.

The apartment itself was very clean and well-equipped with everything you need including a coffee machine! It was perfectly located for me to get up in the morning and walk the dogs down the cliff path to the beach or alternatively to walk on the public footpath across the golf course. Beautiful views in all directions!

Port Erin out of season is quiet but still offers enough for those of us not wanting night life! It made a great base to see more of the island, either as we did by car or thanks to the steam train that stops at the station just a short walk down the road.

We will definitely return!

The apartment is well laid out and has everything you need for a comfortable stay toilet flush needs looking at as at times it doesn't fill up properly. Port Erin is a lovely place I wouldn't stay anywhere else and I have been to all the main places on the island and you have everything 5 mins walk away shops/pubs etc but best of all for the doggy folk is Port Erin beach. OK its restricted to dogs from 10am to 7pm but its by far the best beach as clean as it gets on the island and the area is as picturesque as you can get. you can get a boat trip with them around the calf of man from Port Erin and its possible to buy a 1 day go anywhere ticket for £19 for the steam train then onto a bus or horse drawn tramway to the Derby station then the electric tramway up to Laxey and onto the Snaefell mountain railway and get all the way back to Port Erin in a day dogs included they cost just 30p each to get on the trams etc its a great way to see the island. I also recommend the Falcons Nest hotel good food/menu and staff and dogs allowed in too.

Beautiful location with excellent views. Essentials provided for stay which we were very grateful of! Easy to find and access with plentiful parking. Information folder very handy. Port erin is STUNNING. A blanket in the lounge would make it 5 star plus a mattress topper, the double bed is very firm. Apart from that it was just amazing!

Comfy beds and sofa, very well equipped. Fantastic views of the sea.
No heating or hot water on first night and no reply to email. Thankfully my husband had a mini tool kit and fixed the boiler hinself.
Could do with a really good clean throughout! Skirting boards, under rugs, coffee machine, freezer drawers etc all pretty grubby. Shower leaks so put bath mat in corner of room to catch the water. Very homely, but so many ornaments, fake flowers, lamps etc that there wasn't much space for our own things.
Fab beach and cove and lovely to be near our family again.

Lovely little apartment. Tastefully decorated with some lovely lighting which provides a homely warm feeling. More than adequate equipment in the kitchen for a Christmas dinner. 5 minute walk into town, Bradda Glen and just across the road from the golf course.
We had a couple of issues with leaking water from the shower, a window and ceiling which have been raised and will hopefully be rectified by the owners. No sink plug or washing up bowl in the kitchen, which again has been raised as an issue.

The sea view apartment has been updated with a great deal of care this year to meet holiday makers expectations of the ideal holiday home. We really appreciated that there is new equipment throughout the apartment. For example, saucepan set, crockery and cutlery in the kitchen. The apartment has many thoughtful extras to help holidaymakers feel very comfortable and we did feel very comfortable. The apartment is very homely.
The washing machine and tumble dryer are quite difficult to access which was the only drawback we found.
We intend to book again for our 2023 break

What can you say about the Isle of Man - Friendly, relaxed, wonderful place and many many more.
On top of all of that, the apartment was just “ out of this world”.
Location - could walk to everything one would need on a daily basis. Port Erin is just so perfectly compact.
Apartment - double aspect views. One directly towards the sea, the other towards a golf course and beyond that, rolling hills.
The apartment was spotless, modern, everything you could ever need. They had even provided “ the little touches”. A herb and spices collection, foil, milk, butter, bread, tea bags, coffee bags, biscuits. How very thoughtful. The little touches until you get chance for a full shop at the local ( and wonderfully stocked supermarket).
We spent our days travelling around the Island visiting wonderful towns and beaches. At the end of the day, we would return to our apartment and cook dinner in the well appointed kitchen and sit and eat dinner with views to die for.
The weather was a great help and very kind to us. Cool but sun nearly every day. We Will definitely return. Thank you Port Erin.

Location good for the beach, public transport connections, and restaurants.
The sofa is very comfortable and kitchen fairly well equipped but no scissors found.
Some light bulbs need changing and sink tap in bathroom needs serious attention.
Beds were comfortable and the welcome pack of bread and milk etc was a nice touch.
The lights are controlled by remotes which were a little difficult to navigate and the switch in master bedroom was hanging off the wall.
Overall a comfortable stay but the flat needs a little tlc. TV instructions would also be handy.
