A holiday cottage that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

New to Island Escapes for 2023!

A traditional cottage in the heart of Castletown, Isle of Man, a short stroll from the impressive medieval Castle Rushen, picturesque harbour, local bars, shops and restaurants.

Mariner's Cottage is located in a fantastic position for exploring the historic town, nearby beaches, beauty spots and coastal paths - and with transport links just a stone's throw away, it's the perfect base from which to branch out and discover the rest of the island.

This charming self-catering cottage is ideal for your family holiday or for a couple's romantic getaway, where you can relax, unwind and enjoy cosy nights by the log burner.

This homely cottage is set over two floors, with the open-plan ground floor offering a well-equipped kitchen, lounge/dining area and a snug. Upstairs there are two double-bedrooms with king size beds (one of which can also be set up as a twin room), and the bathroom which features a bath, powerful over-tub shower, wash basin and WC. Outside to the rear of the cottage there is a courtyard seating area with wooden decking and castle views.

Mariner's Cottage is just a five minute walk away from the Billown road racing circuit which hosts the Southern 100 Races in July, as well as the Pre and Post TT Races. The airport is a 5 minute drive away, so Mariner's Cottage is easily accessed!

A great stay in the Ancient Capital
We had a very comfortable staycation with our small dog at Mariner's Cottage. A lovely 'home from home' from which we explored many beautiful walking spots. It was also beautifully quiet - thr perfect place to get away from it all! I will certainly recommend it to any friends or family.

Clean, comfortable cottage in a good position. Very well appointed and equipped
A great place to stay. Clean and comfortable, although the single bed wasn't too great. Kitchen was well equipped but a few more dishwasher tablets would have been gratefully received for the price we paid! Island Escapes staff were excellent, handling the small issue we had with the heating. Car parking easy once we had sussed it out. A few coat hooks in the hallway would have been really useful as nowhere to hang wet waterproofs.

The cosy Mariner’s cottage
Staying at Mariana’s cottage was a really lovely experience. We stayed over the Christmas period and not only was there a Christmas tree up, everything was provided for. It is a cosy, comfortable and homely cottage and would highly recommend to anyone thinking of booking it. Perfect location in the town centre as well.

Cosy cottage in Castletown
Cosy two bedroom cottage in the centre of Castletown, a lovely part of the Isle of Man. Great location for exploring, everything is within a short walking distance, and there are frequent buses to the airport, Douglas and Port Erin. Enough space downstairs with a kitchen/lounge and a lounge/dining room, but both double bedrooms are rather small with limited storage space. Floors and surfaces were clean, but a few cobwebs lurked above. Kitchen was well equipped but a few cups or glasses were chipped or cracked. Island Escapes were very helpful in allowing us to stay two extra nights due to the ferries being cancelled during Storm Kathleen. After our return to the mainland they (not I) noticed they had overcharged us for the extension and refunded us immediately. They had also responded quickly and successfully to a problem with the TV. Overall, a nice stay - we will use Island Escapes again

A characterful cottage .
Mariners Cottage is a lovely old cottage , which lhas been tastefully extended and modernised. It is excellently placed, in the centre of Castletown , near the central square , castle and harbour. You can see the from the bedrooms . There is some outdoor seating and table too. The skylight and stable door at the back are nice features. I did have a few quibbles , which the owners and Island Escapes responded to very quickly. On the downside , I do think it very expensive. I also think providing no washing powder and only 3 dishwasher tabs , especially considering the cost of rental , was not generous. They did provide more dishwasher tabs , as I complained. I left some in the box to be of help to other customers!
