I had a lovely stay at Packet House. Great location, clean and well looked after, I think it must have been recently renovated.

First holiday on the IOM. We thought best location not only in Castletown but on the whole island. In the historical centre of Castletown with excellent public transport to see the whole island. Packet House itself is wonderful- refurbished to a very high standard with a second floor living room overlooking the harbour. Island Escapes were very helpful in arranging a slightly later checkout after a flight cancellation. Only slight niggle was lack of hanging racks for towels and wet outdoor clothing, but this didn’t detract from a very enjoyable stay.

Amazing views, right next to everything, whilst still being quiet in the evenings. The place has everything you need and everything you don't need, just to delight and please you. It's on 3 floors and whilst the quilts were not to my personal tog rating or the sofa not to my own comfort level, everything else made it the best house I've stayed in on the island (so far - we're regular visitors). Morning coffee, a visit to a castle, a stroll around the town and a swinging seat on the seafront to eat our ice cream, all within a few steps. The house has a lovely history and is spotlessly clean and modern inside. Thank you Island Escapes, yet again, for a fantastic stay.

As above. + well equipped and comfortable. Castletown has been improved in recent years and now has coffee bars as well as pubs and restaurants.

Great location. Lovely spacious accommodation with fantastic views. Top bedroom duvet was winter weight. Sofa not as comfortable as it might have been.

The house was nice clean and well appointed. We had a nice sea view and the unit is well located in Castletown. Everything worked well for the exception of the Nespresso machine. They came to look at it and said it worked fine.. But found water leaked out from the machine somewhere. Besides that the it was a great place to stay.

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.

This was our second stay in Packet House and it is without doubt our favourite ‘staycation’ house’. Everything in the house is finished to a very high standard, very comfortable beds with beautiful high quality bed linen, well equipped shower rooms with underfloor heating. The top floor is the icing on the cake, the views are just spectacular from dining area in the large bay window, looking across to Langness and out to sea one way and up the harbour towards the hills the other way. We made good use of the cosy log burner on the nights we were in, also the extremely well equipped kitchen which has everything you could need. Very convenient for all the pubs and restaurants both in Castletown and, a short bus ride away, Port St Mary and Port Erin. Fabulous walks from the front door. Highly recommended.

We absolutely love this place and like to re-charge our batteries here a few times a year. The views are amazing, it’s very roomy and close to all amenities. Looking forward to our next stay

Another wonderful two weeks spent in Packet House. Most comfortable accommodation, with high-end appliances and furnishings. The views over the harbour are the icing on the cake! Next year’s stay here is already booked - that says it all!

Beautifully furnished house in a great location. Waking up to the sun rising over the harbour is priceless. Parking nearby and easy road access to the whole island. Short walk to the train as well. Good food in the town.

This property is excellent for two couples being able to have our own bathrooms. You would need to be fit as the living part in this accommodation is on the third floor, an advantage to see the harbour and the wonderful view. The only downfall is the sofa is quite low and very uncomfortable and the WiFi faded out, no good to watch catch up TV.

Packet House is a fabulous property, well located, with super views and top spec inside. The upside down nature of the property allows for the best views over the harbour and out to sea. The location is quiet, however with the town on the doorstep. We also found the staff at Island Escapes to be very helpful with a query we had about the property - very professional and friendly service. Will definitely book this property through Island Escapes again.

Very smart and comfortable apartment, with great views from the top-floor living room bay window. Perfect accommodation for two couples - provided you are OK with the steep and narrow staircases, since the apartment is on 3 levels.

Beautiful property on Castletown quayside. Fantastic views from the large bay window. Very comfy beds.

Wonderful views from the living area window, and very centrally located in Castletown. Just beware of the one way system in gaining access to the quayside!

What a treat to stay at The Packet House ! It had a WOW factor, as soon as we walked in ! A perfect location-and a stunning living area , with super views ! Great Management from Island Escapes , located just up the road As last year, Chris &Vanessa Callow ( who offer this Service through Island Escapes) came and cooked a wonderful meal for us , at The Packet House. -A really Special Experience ! Thank you Everyone, for a Very Memorable and Special Holiday, celebrating our 60th Wedding Anniversary at The Packet House

We really enjoyed our stay at Packet House. The unit was lovely with 2 bedrooms each with an extremely nice modern bathroom, plus an extra small bathroom on the ground floor. Kitchen and living area on the top floor was spacious and had great views of the Irish Sea and coastline. Will definitely be back!

I booked Packet House very last minute for me and my daughters and we really loved the house. With it being an upside-down house, the main living area is on the top (third) floor and the open-plan space works really well and the views are stunning. There are all the mod cons you could want and the beds are really comfortable. The location is fantastic. You are really central to Castletown and can walk everywhere. The only thing that could be improved (and this is just a personal thing) is for the curtains in the bedrooms to be blackout curtains. In the wintertime, I don't imagine this is an issue at all but in the summer the room is very light, which is lovely but made it a little difficult to switch off. As mentioned, this is just a personal thing and likely won't bother most people. This is also a really tiny minor thing as there really isn't anything I can fault the house on and would happily stay there again, even if the curtains aren't blackout ones.

Beautifully presented accommodation in a perfect location. Packet House has been refurbished and equipped to the highest standard and makes for a very comfortable and luxurious place to stay. It is a bonus having the friendly Island Escapes team nearby! We’ve had two wonderful holidays in Packet House and have two more booked - that says it all!!

We’ve had the most wonderful stay at Packet House. The property has been finished to such a high standard and provided everything you could wish for. We had a slight issue with the front door and received a visit from a member of the Island Escapes team within 20 mins of calling. The issue was resolved straight away (just a knack with the door) with no complaint that we’d called them. We would definitely recommend this property and Island Escapes to all our friends and hope to book again on our next visit to the Isle of Man.

Packet House is well placed on the Castletown harbour, it overlooks the freshwater harbour where it meets the sea. There is plenty to see from the panoramic window, boats, visitors and wildlife such as swans, ducks and a heron. Everything that you need is within a short walking distance. The glue pot pub has real ales, there are several restaurants and takeaways and a Co Op open till 10pm.There is also a steam railway to Douglas. The house is very well designed with a superb kitchen and bathroom. Everything works and is well laid out. Island escapes have an office in Castletown, we didn’t have the correct door code and the staff sorted it for us.

Beds were very comfortable which is a vital component in any stay away from home and the location enabled a trip to the South and access to the main roads leading to places of interest. The grandchildren loved the steam trains. The view over the small harbour from the bay window in the lounge was idyllic. There was history, the sea birds and the changing skies and tides. A beautiful spot.

We had a lovely time the only drawback for me was all the stairs to get to the kitchen with shopping bags however.it was worth the struggle when once at the top!

Booked Packet House as part of a large group staying in various places around Castletown. We generally shared cooking and one night was pizza and movie night at Packet House which was just lovely. There was plenty of space to accommodate us sitting in the living room, doing quizzes and generally having a good old time in beautiful surroundings. Thoroughly recommend the house, the location and the help from Island Escapes to make the stay possible was just exceptional.

Fantastic accommodation, location and I really enjoyed my stay. Very well presented. I will definitely return.

We have holidayed many times on the Isle of Man and in many ways this was the best yet! Packet House was tastefully and luxuriously presented making it a very special place to stay. It’s very reassuring to know that the staff at Island Escapes are based locally and are at hand to help with any queries. The wonderful location was the icing on the cake! We have already booked for next year and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Packet House as a fantastic place to stay!

The house was easy to find from the ferry terminal, and what a surprise when you enter the house, it smelt lovely, and was so clean.The interior finish was very high spec, the bedding, towels etc and the appliances were top of the range.The sunrise in the morning and the sea views were really relaxing.Please Island Escapes do so properties abroad.
