The Lodge - a holiday cottage that sleeps 8 guests in 4 bedrooms

The Lodge is a spacious family holiday home set in its own grounds, sleeping 6 in 3 bedrooms, with an additional double sofa bed in the 4th bedroom made up on request. Pets also accepted by agreement.

The property is situated in a central position in the Island, just a couple of miles from the capital Douglas. This means easy access to the North, South, East and West, allowing you to benefit from everything the Isle of Man has to offer. If you don't want to use your car, motorcycle or bike, you can take advantage of the extensive bus network, with your local stop just a couple of minutes away. From Douglas you can take either the steam train south to Port Erin, or electric railway to Ramsey in the north – journeys which will enchant and enthral all ages!

The Isle of Man is the only entire country to be granted UNESCO Biosphere status, and together with its unique culture and heritage sites, it offers outstanding walks of majestic scenery and waterfalls, including the internationally accredited Raad Na Foillan – “The Way of the Gull”. The Millennium Walk traverses the internal parts of the Island, offering up the majestic splendour of the peaks, and our very own mountain Snaefell. All of which within easy reach!

Golfers will be in their element, with a range of parkland and links courses within easy distance. Should you wish, specialist tours are available, enabling you to take advantage of vital local knowledge!

If cycling, as well as the road network, there are also many areas for “off-roading”, and if you're feeling really adventurous, you can tackle the end-to-end route which will take you on a journey through the centre of the Isle of Man, from the North to the South!

All in all, for a family group, or just a group of friends, staying at The Lodge provides countless opportunities for all ages - whether to visit its heritage sites, immerse yourself in the Island's unique culture, enjoy the majestic scenery, or take part in some of the many adventure pursuits.

The house has three good sized bedrooms, consisting of a twin room and two doubles (one en-suite). An additional room features a comfortable sofabed, a snug for two people! A large lounge offers comfortable seating for all guests and there is a roomy open plan kitchen/breakfast bar, together with a separate dining room.

Adjoining the kitchen to the rear of the property is a sizeable conservatory overlooking the large garden, which contains seating.

Plenty of parking is available on the driveway which also features a large double garage.

Excellent location
Lovely house with plenty of room. Everything you need (washing machine, dryer, and a double garage for the bikes!). Quiet area with a co-op just up the road. Highly recommended

Lovely Quiet location
The house is located in the lovely quiet village of Glen vine, a short drive from the capital Douglas. Lovely large family home with large rear garden and conservatory. The floors upstairs are really creaky so you can’t move about the house with out everybody knowing about it. Apart from a few items not working such as the kettle, and a door handle falling off the toilet door, it was a perfect escape away from the hustle and bustle of the big city.

Arrived 9 pm and tired after a 2 hour delayed ferry on a very rainy dark day, what waited for us at The Lodge was a home with a warm and welcome feeling which was experienced as soon as we opened the door. It was like coming home. It is clean and spacious, fully equipped throughout with a large enclosed garden for the dogs to run free in. Located 10 minutes on the Peel road out of Douglas it is perfectly placed to visit any part of the island. The Island Escapes downloadable guide was invaluable and was used many times during the stay. If we are to return to the island again then this is where we would stay again.

Our stat at The Lodge
Booking and dealing with Island Escapes was very good: information received promptly. The Lodge was very clean, tidy and pleasant. The kitchen was well-equipped. The garden was very secure for our dogs (fenced in all the way around at the back). Good access to the garden vis the conservatory. All in all we had a very relaxing stay. Thank you!

Great place
We have really enjoyed staying at the Lodge. Our trip to the Isle of Man was nearly 8 hours. We really appreciated the welcome bread / butter / milk so that we could have a much needed snack and drink ok arrival. The property is very well presented and John has been very helpful in answering questions and accommodating any needs we had. I would recommend booking this property. The area is really nice and it’s very quiet. Thank you

Home from Home
Property was easily located and central for exploring the whole of the island. On arrival the house was thoroughly clean & vey comfortable for our four adults and two small dogs. The 'welcome pack' was much appreciated meaning we didn't need to go back out shopping immediately on arrival. Only down points were : - no coat hooks in the hallway, hall mirror was far too high for the average hight person to use. Facilities : kettle on / off switch very temperamental, needing great patience to operate. Hot water regularly ran out after only two showers. Overall a very comfortable home from home to stay whilst visiting IOM.

honest review
The Lodge was ideally located for us just nicely out of Douglas but not too far from amenities, shops etc. The property was ideal a few minor things of note - nothing diabolical - the pillows on the beds could do with renewing, the kitchen tap needed a little maintenance - but overall a good property to stay in. The kitchen was very well equipped, the property was warm and comfortable and very clean. The welcome pack was very welcome especially if you were to arrive late. Overall a good stay.

Long weekend at The Grange
I would have given a 5 for comfort. condition and value for money, but it was let down by the condition of the conservatory furniture which was unbelievably tatty and uncomfortable. This let the property down. A shame because it was very good otherwise.

Short stay to attend funeral
We found the accommodations great very spacious clean and well equipped. The only negative thing I would say is the bed settee was very uncomfortable and my daughter’s didn’t sleep very well at all, other than that we had a great stay.

A Great TT Base
A spacious and immaculate house with all the facilities you could wish for. The double garage was particularly useful for the 5 motorcycles. A lovely garden and conservatory were a real bonus - the house being all you could wish for, for a week long trip to the TT. A great pub and shop are walking distance and Douglas a short cab ride away. The location was great. In seconds you’re on the TT course (at end of road!).

Very comfortable house but although it sleeps 8 there is only seating for 6 at dining table, in the lounge and conservatory. Great access to Douglas and Peel. Would stay again if there was a refuction in price.

Comfortable clean and welcoming accommodation
An excellent place to stay for a weekend with friends. We didn’t spend too much time in the house during the day and only used the kitchen facilities for breakfast and drinks. Everything we needed in well stocked kitchen except perhaps large bowl for microwave. Lovely to have conservatory and garden to enjoy the sunshine. The beds very comfortable and bathrooms had everything we needed. We did find the bedroom doors rattled when closed at night if windows were open. Just a small thing. Overall a very good stay. Thank you.

All round great property just need some new mattresses
All round great property just need some new mattresses, both the double beds were very tired & definitely need replacing, can't vouch for the singles or sofa bed as they weren't used. Everything else was absolutely spot on but we would ask if the mattresses have been replaced before staying there again.

Great base for a holiday in the IoM
Great property, spotlessly clean, plenty of space with good sized rooms including a lovely conservatory. Our only disappointment - the weather didn’t allow us to use the garden! We had cars but the house is close to the bus route. Would definitely recommend.
Stayed 4 nights in May 2022

Great property!
This is a lovely property to stay in. It’s spacious, light and perfect for a family. The beds were comfortable, the house is well stocked and there are lots of games and dvds. The garden is secure and a great size, we used the outdoor table for evening meals on the summer nights. There were a few things that could be improved: Generally the house appeared clean. However, the floors could be cleaner, white socks turned black! It would be great to have a washing line or clothes airer to avoid using the tumble dryer/radiators when possible. The hot water was not great, we followed the instructions and used the ‘boost’ button but never managed more than 5 minutes of hot water for the shower.

Clean comfort
This house was spotlessly clean and had plenty of room for everyone to sit comfortably, the kitchen was well equipped with lots of crockery and cutlery but only one tea towel, The bedrooms were comfortable, and had enough pillows and bedding, lovely soft towels were a nice touch to the immaculate bathrooms, the only downside was that this house was advertised as a four bedroomed house for up to eight people but the fourth bedroom was tiny with only a sofa bed and nothing else, this was way too small for two people to sleep on, it just fitted a child comfortably as the mattress was very thin, also, on arrival, it was not made up as requested, this was remedied straight away on request. To summarise, this house was in a perfect location in the centre of the island, it was very clean, very comfortable but only suitable as a three-bedroomed house with a sofa bed in a box room,.we thoroughly enjoyed our stay as there was only 6 of us
