Good bits
Great view and interesting location . Just right for two people.
Fridge stocked with milk ,bread and cheese for your arrival ( was a nice touch.)
15 mins drive to the ferry. Trams do not run past until 9.30am so o.k.
Period features.
Less good bits ( no bad)
Bed could be better (standard double super soft mattress could be king size)
Good ten minute walk to the the nearest shops and pub. 20 minute to come back as the hill the cottage is on is very very steep.
The location is not for less able bodied . ( In all fairness like most of the I.O.M )

Just enjoyed our first visit to the Isle of Man. It will not be our last. The cottage is in an exceptional location on the edge of Laxey especially if you decide to purchase a go explore pass and use it on all rail and bus travel around the island. The tram stop is directly outside the back of the cottage and bus stop outside the front. The sunrise over the sea is beautiful to watch. The sun shines in whilst having breakfast in the conservatory.
It’s a warm, cosy and welcoming property but it does look tired and could do with a bit of TLC, but some might argue it has character, it’s certainly charming.

The location was ok for visiting the island by car but not much ells in walking distance.
Huge living room and we'll equipped kitchen.
Bedroom is a little tricky to get around and the bed is quite small but comfortable.
The wifi is a bit hit and miss but more miss than hit.
The shower was pretty poor.
there is a strong smell of fumes in the conservatory.(possibly heating oil?)
Complaints aside it was overall very clean and comfortable and I would use it again.

Cottage with super views, well located for transport but property needs updating
Cottage has all the equipment you need and so handy for trams and buses. Only downside for us was the steep walk to the beach with our dog (partner has health issues) therefore we probably wouldn’t return due to this. However on the flip side we did enjoy breakfast every morning with stunning views over the bay and beautiful moonlight evenings. The cottage is homely but could do with some modernization.

Fantastic views and location
This cottage is ideally located next to the tramlines with a fantastic seaview. The kitchen is well equipped and the welcome items such as bread and milk etc were a lovely touch.
Unfortunately the cottage is let down by dated, tatty furniture and a strong smell of damp in the bedroom. The cottage would benefit from a change in furniture and the installation of a better and safer shower. Otherwise a fantastic stay.

A homely cottage with sea views
A homely cottage with great sea views, off road private parking and in walking distance to Laxey and the old town. Cottage was comfortable enough for 2 adults although some improvements internally would have improved our stay. Fast response when the WiFi went down and problem resolved by Island Escapes within a couple of hours.
