Ballabeg railway station is a 10 minute stroll, where you can catch the Isle of Man Steam Railway south to Port Erin or Port St Mary and north to Castletown and Douglas.

There are three golf courses nearby including the 130 year old Championship Castletown Golf Links. In Castletown you can also visit the magnificent medieval Castle Rushen once home to the Kings and Lords of Mann as well as the three other Manx National Heritage sites The Old House of keys, The Nautical Museum and The Old Grammar School all within the town centre.

Fabulous Space
We have stayed here a few times now and it is a great space for couples. Space is the key word here because there is plenty of it. The pictures are accurate and everything has been well thought through and provided. It’s warm and very comfortable. Always our first choice when visiting our family on the island.

Excellent place to stay for a couple for a quiet, relaxing week on the Isle of Man
Very well equipped and very clean. A little bit hard to find as its tucked away from the road round a sharp bend in the road. Everything worked as expected and we much appreciated the little touches of milk, bread and butter plus some hand soap and dishwasher tablets to make it very easy to settle into. We very much enjoyed our stay here being easy to access all that the Isle of Man has to offer.

A Calm & Beautiful Space
This property is delightful and a joy to come back to at the end of the day, knowing it is clean, warm and you will have everything you could possibly need to prepare and cook your food. We particularly like the space, sometimes places with only one bedroom are small and cramped but not here. It’s very light and airy with space to breathe. We’ve stayed twice now and cannot fault it.

A lovely week at Brookville Cottage
Perfect. A surprise welcome pack of high quality local produce starts the holiday well. The immaculate cottage is fitted to a very high standard with all appliances required and even a king size bed. Highly recommended.

S100 holiday
Had peaceful stay at the cottage. All we need for our needs. Was great that the owner was there and let us use the garage for our motorbike. Not a facility usually to be able to use.

Fantastic holiday cottage
This was our sixth visit to the island and this was the best accommodation that we have stayed in. There was everything and more provided for guests. When we arrived the whole cottage was spic and span and the fresh flowers along with a generous welcome pack was much appreciated. Our only slight problem was finding the cottage especially in the dark, we drove past the entrance several times.

Amazing Cottage
We booked this stay as part of a group who also rented a number of other properties in the area through Island Escapes. The cottage was absolutely perfect. The location is great and it is fully equipped with everything you could need for a week. It is incredibly spacious. Other members of our party couldn't believe how much space we had. Gorgeous views over the fields and the children loved watching the cows.

My wife wanted to move in.
We loved our stay. Recently renovated. All equipped and presented. Spacious. Location was pretty convenient and I loved going for a morning run around the country roads. Booked the stay as part of a surprise trip away for me and my wife and she really didn't want to leave the cottage or the island. I'm sure we'll be back. Appreciated the local produce to get us started and kitchen had everything you should need.

Brookville Cottage
This is a new property and the Owners were very nice and helpful. Our less than 100% rating perhaps is a reflection of personal taste more than anything and is based on the following:- Internally the property is very comfortable, well laid out and well appointed with equipment (Other than the absence of a Freezer which we were advised would soon be in place). Outside, the area is less inspiring as this property shares a courtyard with a larger property and is next to the main road which runs through the village. Unfortunately for us, the road noise was a little intrusive when sitting outside and we didn’t appreciate having to look at surplus building materials which had been stacked up, out of the view of the Main property but in the area which was meant to be for our amenity. Less in control of the Owners, was the fact that the Bus Service was totally unreliable during our stay with significant numbers of services being cancelled and no reliable forecasting of what services would actually be running. The inconvenience was compounded upon discovering that the only eating facility in the area had decided not to open it’s doors during the week of our stay. With there being only a small Spa shop in the village and faced with the potential of unreliable bus services and hospitality, one needs to be prepared to travel independently in order to dine out. Whilst I would recommend the property to others, it’s with the caveat that our own reservations are unimportant to them.
