About this cottage rental

East Ballabane is a traditional Manx farmhouse in a wonderful position overlooking the coast and farmland in the north of the Isle of Man, as well as the Ayres Nature Reserve. The area surrounding Ballabane is excellent for walking, cycling, and bird-watching. A site of major ecological significance, parts of the Ayres have been designated as an Area of Special Scientific Interest and as a National Nature Reserve.

The spacious house is beautifully furnished and has wooden floors and original feature fireplaces. There is a large sunny conservatory, and the farmhouse has an Aga type cooker. The large utility room houses the fridge-freezer, washer-drier and dishwasher. There are three attractive bedrooms one double, one twin and one single, a spacious bathroom with a roll-top bath plus a separate shower room with WC.

The whole property is furnished with carefully selected pieces, mainly old pine and antiques. It is truly a home from home.

The farmhouse is set in an enclosed courtyard, which is a real suntrap. It also provides plenty of space for parking. There is a garden in front of the property with a picnic bench and bbq area. You can also enjoy shared use of the large tree lined lawn that is ideal for games and more picnics!

There are wonderful beaches 5 minutes away in either direction, and there is also a golf course only 5 minutes away.

East Ballabane is the perfect spot for walking, bird-watching, cycling, painting, golfing, and for a peaceful family holiday.

Located next door is The Milking Parlour, a stunning barn conversion that sleeps 4.

A lovely cottage, comfortable and clean (no dust or cobwebs), well equipped. It was a pleasure to return to after a busy day. Much appreciated welcome pack. There is plenty to do on the Isle of Man, we visited all the Manx Heritage places, the Curragh Wildlife Park, the Fynoderre Distillery in Ramsey and the Motor & TT museum and of course we had to drive the TT course. The scenery is amazing, the views from the summit of Snaefell and the surrounding mountains is something else. We mananged to see all 7 kingdoms (Man, Wales, England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Heaven and Neptune) although not all on the same day. We even saw some beautiful grey seals at the Point of Ayre. Recommend the Marine Hotel, Peel, Grosvenor Pub in Andreas and the cafe at the motor museum. Good to see that the island has not become overly commercial since our first visit 27 years ago, and we will not be waiting that long until we return again.

Information in black folder in house needs updating. Most of the pots and pans are not suitable for an aga style cooker. There were a lot of cobwebs above the cooker.

We enjoyed our stay here over Christmas 2023, it was lovely that the owners took the time to decorate the downstairs with a tree and fairy lights and other Christmas touches. The house was really warm and felt very sturdy against all the fierce storms blowing across the island over the Christmas period! We didn’t do much cooking but found the aga a bit tricky to use as we don’t have one. The house was well equipped with all the bits you would need for a comfortable self catering stay. The outside area was great for our dogs to run around. As other have said the whole house needs a deep clean, there was quite a lot of dust on surfaces like radiators and shelves and some cobwebs around the fireplace in the dining room. We were a little disappointed at this as I had specifically spoken to Island Escapes about this before we arrived as other guests had mentioned the state of the house. However we would recommend the property as the location is good, the bed linen and towels are clean and the house is well equipped.

Comfortable stay in lovely surroundings. The house was clean and comfortable and well-provisioned. Lovely old farmhouse with many original features. The Aga-style range in the kitchen kept the house warm. Plenty of walks from the door to The Ayers - our dog enjoyed herself. Thank you

We are four guys, stayed for a week. Negatives were the lack of a bbq and general need for a deep clean, one new mattress and some damp issues being addressed. Cottage is located six miles out of Ramsey in an idyllic setting. Parking is safe and there is ample for car and a number of motorcycles. A great supply of cutlery and crockery allows dining without issues and the aga type cooker and heating was good. For a family or group holiday we would recommend the property.

We love it here! Our 2nd stay in this lovely farmhouse, with delightful gardens, on the Isle of Man. We took our 3 grandchildren this time, (a bit of an adventure for the 2 boys on the ferry!) and spent time paddling on beaches with our Springer Spaniel, Milo. The farmhouse is a good size, and well furnished, homely and comfortable. Both bathrooms are a really good size. The gardens are just doggy heaven! It is in such a peaceful location, so nice to sit in the garden or the conservatory and listen to birds and not traffic! At the end of our week, we really wished that we were staying longer. Hope that we will return for a 3rd visit sometime in the future.
