About this cottage rental

Located in the south of the Isle of Man and just 5 minutes drive from the Isle of Man Airport you'll find Ballavoddan Farm Cottages. In this rural setting, two lovingly refurbished holiday cottages can be found alongside each other, sleeping up to 4 people in each cottage.Book Ballavoddan Farm Cottage 1 as well to accommodate a group of up to 8 people!

The cottages are set back from Phildraw Road, Ballasalla in a spacious courtyard with ample parking for 2 vehicles in each cottage. Tastefully decorated, the cottages offer guests a comfortable base for a holiday, no matter what time of the year you choose to stay. During the summer months enjoy the pleasant grounds, a real sun trap on a sunny day, whilst in the cooler months enjoy the warmth of the log burner in the cosy lounge which is open plan with the dining area and kitchen making for a lovely social space.

A couple of minutes drive or around 10 minutes walk from the cottages you'll find the village of Ballasalla. The village has a pharmacy and shop, traditional pub, fish and chip shop and Chinese restaurant. The Abbey restaurant, a favourite with local residents for afternoon teas through to evening fine dining can also be found on the edge of the village. The Isle of Man Steam railway also has a station in the village, from here take the train through to Douglas or nearby Castletown and Port Erin. There is also a very frequent bus service with up to 4 services an hour at times to Douglas, the airport and south the of the island.

Also a short walk from the cottages is Silverdale Glen, an extremely popular spot for all the family with a childrens playground (including a unique Victorian water-powered roundabout), boating lake and cafe. Follow the Silverburn river downstream from here and you'll find Rushen Abbey. Originally a home for monks of the Sauvignac Order, Rushen Abbey came under Cistercian control and was developed as the Isle of Man’s seat of religious power housing the main body of knowledge and literacy for the Island. Take a stroll through the stunning Abbey Gardens to find remains of the substantial medieval buildings, blossom trees and an array of herbs and flowers – many used to cure common ailments.

Good location for our needs. Very clean and comfortable. Additional hand towels and hooks needed for the kitchen and downstairs W.C. Towel rails required for the bedrooms and shower room. Good basic kitchen equipment provided, but there were a few more items I would have used had they been there i.e. mixing bowl, teapot cover, steamer pan, etc. It would be nice to have a small amount of kindling ready to light the wood burner for the first night. Thank you Island Escapes for another good stay on IOM.

Great place, nice and clean. Would definitely stay again. Although the website should be a bit clearer about electric charging point just being a standard plug socket in the living room

Balaviddan Farm Cottage 2 is a beautiful cottage in a very peaceful setting. It is exactly as it says and looks in the photos and description. When we had a wee issue with the shower Island Escapes were very quick to respond which was great.

A nice cottage which is generally well equipped but unfortunately the fridge is way too small, a situation made worse by the fact that the bottle shelf in the door was broken and unusable. We also had to remove ice in the freezer to be able to get anything in- this seems to be an Island Escapes tradition for us as we’ve had to do this times now in different properties. No drying rack meant we had to use hangers off the velux windows - not all clothing can be tumble dried. Also no towel rails or hooks meant towels were hard to dry. Good half way clean from the cleaner- thank you.

We had a lovely stay here. We had everything that we needed and Island Escapes helped to provide some extras that we needed to without delay. We didn't have a car and walked down to the village every day to catch a bus or train. We have 2 under 5's so we did need the buggy but it was very doable. There was everything we needed for cooking and everything was comfortable. The one thing we'd improve is to have hooks in the bathroom as there's nothing to hang anything on, especially as the radiator serves as the mirror.

Amazing place to stay and easy to check in. The cottage is beautiful and super clean and we will love to stay again. Just few things they’ve needs to rectify to avoid future guests complaint: - entrance of the front Gate gor walking guests code machine is not working. I.e, we’ve all left our phone at the cottage and went for a long walk and came back to the cottage and the code typing machine not working (maybe it needs new battery we don’t know). The gate will open automatically only with a car. So we’ve needs to wait outside for couple of hours to figure out how to get in. - the bathroom looks super beautiful but the shower place is a open shower where the water spill happen little by little where we can see a damp and leak coming down to the kitchen ceilings. If they can put a door to the shower to avoid water spillage that would be amazing. - there are no bins in the master bedroom or any rooms if they can provide that in future that would be amazing.
