Cons: N/a

Ballacowell cottage a little gem.

Pros: The cottage is situated off the main road & is extremely quiet day & especially at night. The facilities where more than adequate for a group of four sharing, as both rooms have ensuite & separate toilets it makes it less intrusive. The WiFi & T.V reception is very strong & there are boosters in all the rooms to make certain there is no loss of signal. The allocated car port is more than suitable for those wishing to take their own vehicles, but there is a local bus service towards Ramsey, Douglas & Peel, these are hourly & are less than a 3 minute walk from the property. The surrounding area has all the benefits of great walks, as much of the surrounding area sits behind Snaefell mountain, there are alternative flat walks along the old rail way trails, this provides a great stroll for those needing to venture out for a little peace & quiet.

Lovely clean and cosy cottage.

Pros: Very clean and cosy cottage. Well equipped and in a good location for getting around the Island. The owner, Maj was very friendly and helpful and provided a welcome pack of wine, biscuits, chocolates, bread, eggs and milk. Both bedrooms had ensuites and the kitchen was well equipped. The beds were comfortable and all rooms cosy and very comfortable. The heating was nice and warm for the cooler Manx weather! I would definitely stay here again.

Cons: In almost all the cottages I've stayed in, I generally find knives are a bit blunt and frying pans have been badly used by previous guests, so these could be sharpened / updated; but as I often cook I have that beef about almost all the places we stay. Getting onto the busy road is a bit difficult as traffic on the main road is difficult to see - a mirror opposite the driveway might be helpful. Apart from these small issues, the cottage was brilliant!

it was brilliant quiet clean ,and warm.All the essentials and more were provided.

Pros: may came round the next morning to make sure we had everything ,may had provided some food for our stay which was a lovely touch .And there were new cut flowers on the table .Heating was fantastic .as most days we did not return till late. Excellent.

Cons: Just the outside light needs adjusting to come on when the car is reversed at night,just needs re tilting .

A warm, safe, and charming retreat, perfect for relaxing, feeling at home, and reconnecting with nature.

Pros: The cottage was beautifully maintained, full of charm and character. It was immaculately clean, exceptionally well-equipped for a comfortable and relaxing stay, and located in a peaceful, picturesque area surrounded by nature. The garden was a wonderful place to unwind. Most importantly, the owner was incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive, which made me feel genuinely safe, cared for, and completely at home.

Cons: The Wi-Fi connection was occasionally weak in some parts of the house, which made working online a little challenging at times. A slightly more modern heating system would have added even more comfort during the cooler evenings.

Gorgeous little cottage

Pros: Lovely traditional cottage with a modern twist. Really clean, comfy beds,both bedrooms have ensuite, well equipped kitchen, set in pretty gardens, off road parking. Easy check in/out, lovely hosts, amazing value for money. Proper home from home, we felt comfortable and secure.

Cons: There was nothing we could fault the cottage on at all......

Extremely enjoyable, a good base to explore the island.

Pros: A nice and well equipped house in an easy to get to location (if you have your own transport). Plenty of space, and a comfortable set up. Handy pub serving decent food at a reasonable price just down the road.

Cons: Pulling out of the property is tricky as the visibility of oncoming traffic is very poor - a mirror mounted across the road would be of great benefit.

Pros: Maj the host dropped in to meet us on the first day and provided a very nice welcome basket including fresh eggs, biscuits and wine! The kitchen is well equipped: electric cooker, washer with drying option(handy when it rains!), microwave and good sized fridge freezer. When the weather is good- which it was for most of our stay- Maj allowed us to use the rotary clothes dryer in the rear garden. Maj did allow us to sit in the garden, but just be aware that Maj and her family use it as well. The beds are very comfortable, overall a very enjoyable stay!

Cons: Lighting in the sitting room could have been better.
