- "Everything was basically perfect, lovely views even in cold February. Welcome to the sound of seagulls! The cottage is well equipped and was very clean.

- "A fun experience with all mod cons. To stay in a traditional thatched cottage is something special, and Yn Thie Thooit ('The thatched cottage') has been upgraded to a high standard. Access is via outside steps which might be a consideration for some, and kitchen space is a little limited, but for a short stay it was lovely, and certainly somewhere a little different." - "From the day we booked the property, we can only recommend island escapes for the perfect getaways. The property was clean and comfy. The perfect weekend away."

- "Great location. Lovely spacious accommodation with fantastic views. Top bedroom duvet was winter weight. Sofa not as comfortable as it might have been." - "High standard accommodation. Great position. Had a great week in Castletown . Highly recommended..." - "We had a lovely, short staycation at Packet House. The property is very well furnished, comfortable and homely, very much ‘home from home’. The views from the bay window are beautiful. It’s ideally located in Castletown, a short walk from the shops, pubs and restaurants in town etc. There are some stunning walks in the area which is a great bonus."

But the view and isolation made it perfect." - "Another glorious fortnight in this wonderful property. Sometimes in sun. often in cloud, marvellous irrespective." - "Fantastic house in an amazing location. House is very comfortable and the views are stunning. We did not want to leave."

- "Thanks for a great stay. We would really like to come back to the same property in the future because the layout, decor and position is great. Unfortunately, the internet broke early on. We also there was no television unless you had both internet and signed in with your own accounts. This was not an issue early on but was when the rest of our family left. For a property of this level the supply of drinking glasses (not wine) was a little short. However, the situation and preparation and support from Island Hideaways was excellent. High chair quickly supplied when requested late by us. Really clean and lovely “White company stuff” in bathrooms and beds very comfy. On warm days/evenings the terrace is awesome."

Would suggest minor grouting issues in top floor bathroom shower are dealt with sooner rather than later." - "Beautiful property 2 minutes walk from cafes, pubs and restaurants. Bus stop around the corner, free car park almost on back door step. High spec fixtures, furnishings and essentials. Welcome basics much appreciated. Couldn’t be better and would certainly stay again."

- "The Hawthorns had everything we needed for a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. The included bonus of a gym, hot tub, steam room and sauna were also great for a rainy evening." - "Wanted somewhere to take 4 adults and a child. This was perfect. Lovely converted barn cottage with upside down rooms. Plenty of space and had all we needed for a weeks self catering stay. On arrival we had a loaf of bread, pint of milk, butter, cheese, tea,coffee, sugar and biscuits waiting for us which was great as we arrived really late at night. Having bedrooms downstairs kept them cool and living space upstairs gave us lovely countryside views. There is a sauna, hot tub and gym available to use. Only 10 minutes from Peel and the beach and food outlets. Just right for a full English by the castle. Would highly recommend and will use again."

- "The stay at the Stables was lovely. The location was great, close enough to Peel but just far enough out to feel secluded. The Stables was clean and tidy with all amenities required for a comfortable stay. All rooms had an en suite and great for disabled access due to the location of the downstairs bedroom complete with wet room. Kitchen was well equipped and enough toiletries provided for our stay. We all fell in love with the lovely farm cats who greeted us every morning for a stroke! Unfortunately we lost a day on the Island due to a cancelled flight but everyone at the Stables and Island escapes were on hand to help us re plan our trip. All in all it was a lovely stay and I would highly recommend the visit!"

- "The property is in a wonderful location, rural and very near a beautiful sandy beach. It is well equipped with every thing you need for a comfortable stay. It’s spacious and has plenty of room for everybody, plus a games room and bar. Would definitely recommend a stay at this property" - "Pleasant, helpful and friendly owners. Just mind your head on the cooker extractor it’s slightly low." - "We will be back. It was an incredibly hot week and the house was perfect; it would have been great in the rain too. Wonderful evening views of the sunset and we walked on the beach every day. Hosts were extremely accommodating and had provided all that was needed in terms of bathroom soaps and shampoos, kitchen cleaning and loo rolls etc for the whole stay. Well equipped kitchen, great living/games room. Quiet and secluded patio area. Our dogs loved it and set up home in the utility which could be secured for them after beach runs. The garden wasn’t secure but with well behaved dogs and no passing traffic this wasn’t an issue. Loads of fridge and freezer space and fantastic oven. There is a narrow grass/ gravel track for access and this was absolutely fine for confident motorcycle riders. Only improvement we could think of was protecting the corners of the low hood over the hob- the sharp edges proved a bit dangerous to anyone over 5 ft 8 in who was cooking!"

Set in the beautiful rural location of Ballabeg just five minutes drive from Castletown and the Isle of Man Airport Balladuke is a former farmhouse lovingly converted into a four bedroomed holiday cottage with beautiful views over the surrounding countryside and coastline of the south of the Isle of Man.

- "What a great find, charming cottage warm and well maintained, fully equipped with everything you would need in a holiday home, nice little touch having bread, milk, cheese, tea, coffee and biscuits upon arrival. Our 3 boys loved having the outdoor space to play. We came to visit family and the cottage had ample space to accommodate us and our visiting family, we will without a doubt be booking again. Friendly and welcoming host too!!" - "Situated in the South of the Island this was ideal for visiting the many interesting places close by. Very comfortable and well appointed, modern and finished to a high standard. Owner very helpful and accommodating. Golf courses within 15 minutes made it all the more attractive."

Close to the west coast of the Isle of Man, The Old Coach House is set in its own extensive grounds with a large lawn, decked seating area and lovely uninterrupted views over the surrounding countryside. The setting is peaceful and secluded, providing the perfect getaway but still just a short car journey from Peel and St Johns.

A beautiful recent conversion and restoration updated the property to a high specification, including the installation of underfloor heating. Many original features remain, including the fireplace and slate cladding. These features combine to ensure The Old Coach House to be a comfortable holiday cottage which lovingly acknowledges its rich history.

The Old Coach House provides an ideal base for walking; the Steam Train Heritage Trail is nearby as is Peel Hill and the Raad Ny Foillan coastal footpath. Take advantage of this year-round; the warmer months are perfect for a sunny day out to Peel to enjoy all the seaside has to offer! Follow this with a trip to Niarbyl to witness the panoramic views for sunset, before hurrying back to The Old Coach House to enjoy a drink on the decking. In the colder months, why go anywhere?! Cosy up, light the log burner and experience a the chilling country weather from the toasty comfort of your sofa and a good book.

Despite being in the countryside, there's still plenty to see and do. Peel, a working fishing port with historical significance, is just two miles away. Visit Peel Castle and The House of Manannan, discover the culinary delights on offer from fresh ice cream to today's catch and explore the mazy streets and the town's independent shops.

- "For myself and my partner, this is our second time staying at The Coach House. For us, it’s perfect. It’s isolated so you get the benefit of the peace and quite but only 10-15 minutes from Peel as and when you need food or want to go out for a meal. We love the layout and the open plan kitchen and lounge and the wood burner is the best bit. The wood basket and kindling is always full to the brim so you can have many cosy nights in." - "We had a lovely time, loved the views, and the log burner. The location was very convenient, and we found everything we needed at the house. Hope to return again! Thank you!"

- "Property is ideally located in the heart of Castletown, convenient to shops etc and a good base to explore the south of the island. Some basic items in the property, tea, coffee, toilet roll etc on arrival and one space for parking. Customer service excellent." - "Harbour Hideaway is a spacious property located close to the centre of Castletown. The property was clean, comfortable and well equipped.

We know you will be delighted when you arrive at Close Taggart. These two gold award holiday cottages, Thie Rhennie ("House of Ferns") and Thie Lough ("House of the Lake") can be found well off the beaten track, deep in the countryside, about two miles from the nearest small supermarket, bus routes and village, and six from the nearest town (Ramsey).

The owners live on site and will be on hand to greet you and provide any assistance you require, you will have total freedom to enjoy the extensive grounds of Close Taggart which includes a tree house and viewing platform high up in the trees, where you can sit and enjoy a complementary glass of wine.

The holiday cottages are a great base for nature lovers. The Curraghs where the cottages are located, is an area of wetland and a rich haven of biodiversity with rare flora and fauna. Wild wallabies, normally found in warmer climes, are also thriving here. The animals, native to Australia and Tasmania, have been flourishing ever since a pair escaped in the 1970s from the Curraghs wildlife park, a short distance from the cottages. Researchers believe now there are more than a 100 living in the wild. It is possible to see wallabies living in the wild on one of the short walks from the cottages.

We are very willing to assist with mobility issues, but unfortunately we are unable to accommodate full time wheel chair users due to the layout of the cottage.

- "Het was een hele mooie locatie, mooie grote tuin, waar je gebruik van mocht maken. Alles wat je nodig had was aanwezig. Bij aankomst stonden en al een paar leuke verrassingen klaar. Kortom heerlijk verblijf gehad." - "This was our second visit to Close Taggart - and once again, it didn't disappoint. The location is idyllic - the house is set in beautiful grounds, with stunning views of the northern hills. The accommodation is quiet, warm and comfortable, enhanced by lots of little thoughtful touches, and John and Shirley are very welcoming hosts. Thoroughly recommended."

- "We stayed at Ballacallin Court over the Christmas break for 5 days and occupied all 3 cottages which was perfect for our family break. As the cottages all have interleading doors, the set-up was absolutely perfect. The cottages are very well equipped, modern and comfortable, the gym & spa facility is an added bonus. The view from the cottages is beautiful and instantly relaxing. The service we receive from Island Escapes as well as the on-site owners was amazing. The little touches such as bread, milk, cheese and butter in the cottage kitchens was really lovely. We had a wonderful time at Ballacallin and I would highly recommend booking a stay there :)"

- "Clean, tidy and cozy with everything required for an excellent stay. Fantastic view from the front door" - "Lovely cottage in fantastic location. Would love to stay here again. We found fridge/freezer compact, and missed a vacuum cleaner to keep carpets as we found them." - "A delightful little place for a relaxing break. This property has been very tastefully renovated to the highest order and we highly recommend it ." - "We loved our holiday and wanted for nothing in the cottage. We didn't get off to a good start because the directions specified a clock in Colby which we couldn't see from the road and a Co-op which had become a Spar convenience store. In every other respect our stay was wonderful. Thank you"

Or paddleboarding, kayaking or sailing within the sheltered bay. Rowany Golf Course, an 18 hole links course is also close by. For food and drink there is a growing choice of restaurants and bars. Local favourites include Bradda Glen restaurant, the stylish, artisanal Foraging Vintners, and the Bay Hotel for a traditional pint of local ale.

- "Absolutely amazing place to stay. Good layout and spaciousness of the cottage plus views from garden was just stunning. Brilliant location being able to walk from The Pines to beach, village and hills . Really considerate host and loved details such as wine and chocs. A very minor detail - it would have helped to have more mugs and plates etc to save hand washing, but overall a great place to stay. Thanks Gaye, we loved it." - "Stayed for 1 week May 2023 as two couples. The cottage was superb, well equipped, clean and spacious. Situated in a tranquil setting with sea views but a short drive into Port Erin for food etc. Would highly recommend."

- "A warm welcome awaited us from the owners John and Shirley, they were fantastic as we were later in arriving - the cottage was nice, warm, cosy and welcome surprises. We were over for a specific event, however there was lots of information on things to do in the welcome pack. I would of loved to wander around the garden but it was too dark by the time we got back in the evening. We would definitely recommend this cottage. Loved the location as it was out of town and remote, perfect, We will definitely be back."

Take a walk around and lose yourself in the many acres of land that the cottage sits within.

If nature is your thing then you have to explore The Ayres National Nature Reserve, a 15 minute drive away. A quirky part of the island to visit is that's also protected is Ballaugh Curraghs wetlands, home to a unique colony of wild, but shy, wallabies descended from previous escapees from the Wildlife Park.

The cottage is extremely fortunate to be in an area where several species of bat were identified during a recent bat survey. You may be lucky enough to see them at dusk or even hear bat activity at night! The bats' summer roosts are normally active until mid September. You will see the wonderful little creatures emerge from a spot beneath the roof above the back door of the cottage to search for flying insects throughout the night, it’s fleeting but a lovely sight. The cottage has recently been awarded The Unesco Biosphere Award, having become part of the agri-environment scheme.

Inside Wisteria Cottage you will find a homely holiday cottage, providing comfortable accommodation for your visit! There are three bedrooms, a double with en-suite, a linked single room suitable for a child and a twin room with a further en-suite.

- "Enjoyed a wonderful stay at Wisteria Cottage which was prepared beautifully for our arrival with a few welcome provisions in the fridge too! Beverley gave us a lovely warm welcome and showed us around the walks on the estate- exceeded our expectations- and the secret private garden too for our use! She was a lovely neighbourly presence throughout our stay. We loved the peace and space of the location with gorgeous views of Snaefell and the surrounding hills. The cottage is spacious and beautifully maintained with three showers suited the needs of a family of 5 with teenagers. Beverley even provided garden games and treats for our dog. The only suggestion is that the duvets were quite thick for summer and so a lighter tog with blanket would have suited us better. The IOM escape team have been swift, helpful and professional throughout the whole booking and our stay. Very impressed and will highly recommend to others. Thank you to everyone!"
