Wisteria Cottage is set in the north of the Isle of Man in an expanse of farmland providing the perf

Wisteria Cottage is a self-catering holiday cottage in a wonderfully rural location in the north of the Isle of Man. In the surrounding area is an expanse of farmland providing the perfect scenery to truly relax and unwind in the great outdoors!

The property is set in lovely gardens and woodland, complete with a small lake, it’s part of a working farm and you’ll see cows in the fields and crops growing. Take a walk around and lose yourself in the many acres of land that the cottage sits within. There is an abundance of flora surrounding Wisteria Cottage and a dawn walk to listen to the birdsong is quite magical. The cottage has the beautiful walled garden for your exclusive private use, a real suntrap or place to look at the stars!

If nature is your thing then you have to explore The Ayres National Nature Reserve, a 15 minute drive away. A quirky part of the island to visit is that's also protected is Ballaugh Curraghs wetlands, home to a unique colony of wild, but shy, wallabies descended from previous escapees from the Wildlife Park.

The cottage is extremely fortunate to be in an area where several species of bat were identified during a recent bat survey. You may be lucky enough to see them at dusk or even hear bat activity at night! The bats' summer roosts are normally active until mid September. You will see the wonderful little creatures emerge from a spot beneath the roof above the back door of the cottage to search for flying insects throughout the night, it’s fleeting but a lovely sight. The cottage has recently been awarded The Unesco Biosphere Award, having become part of the agri-environment scheme.

Inside Wisteria Cottage you will find a homely holiday cottage, providing comfortable accommodation for your visit! There are three bedrooms, a double with en-suite, a linked single room suitable for a child and a twin room with a further en-suite.

The nearby town of Ramsey has a great selection of shops, cafes and restaurants, a swimming pool, bowling alley and Golf Course. The Mooragh Park in Ramsey boasts a boating lake, childrens' play area & splash park, outdoor bowling, tennis and cafe; it even provides outdoor exercising equipment. There are also two transport museums and a great go-karting facility in nearby Jurby.

Wonderful Location
We really enjoyed our stay at Wisteria Cottage which is set in a wonderful location in beautiful extensive grounds. The cottage is attractively decorated and well stocked. We were very comfortable there and made good use of it as the weather was unsettled. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this cottage. The owners live on site and couldn't have been more helpful.

Wonderful peaceful house with a warm welcome
This is a lovely house set in extensive grounds. We were warmly welcomed by Bev the owner. It is a peaceful setting with extensive views. The house is well equipped and very comfortable. As a bonus Bev grows lavender and wonderful lavender ice-cream and cookies are available. It is worth coming to the Isle of Man just to stay at Wisteria Cottage

Perfect Cottage for a family break
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Wisteria Cottage, it is homely, clean and comfortable with everything you could need. The grounds and gardens are beautiful but what really makes it extra special are the hosts. Beverley and Denzil were so welcoming and generous in their time, from showing us round to the extra little gifts left on the doorstep. We would highly recommend a stay here and would love to come back!

A wonderful property
The owners were so friendly and helpful, when we had to change ferries which meant we were arriving a lot later than expected the owner stocked the cottage with some bread, milk, cheese & butter so we had the essentials. They showed us around the grounds and their Lavender business explaining the processes involved which was very interesting. Nothing was too much trouble, the property was beautiful, it was so clean and warm (they adjusted the heating times to meet our requirements) and explained how the Aga worked as I'd never cooked on one of those before. I would recommend the cottage to anyone and will definitely look to stay here if we visit the Isle of Man again.

Great stay
We really loved our stay in Wisteria Cottage. Lovely hosts, couldn't have been more welcoming or helpful. Beautifully done barn conversion with large bedrooms and plenty of living space. Well equipped - plenty of bathroom space, handy with teenagers! Could maybe have done with one more seat in the living room as squeezing 3 of us on a sofa in the evenings was quite tight but that's a suggestion not a niggle! Very peaceful, tranquil location with lots of outdoor space as well as private walled garden which was beautiful. In easy reach of anywhere on the island but tucked away so perfect for those who want a rural retreat.

Excellent !!!
The cottage was beautiful and well maintained throughout. The little touches such as local milk, butter, bread etc were very thoughtful and everything was lovely and clean. We stayed at the end of December and the Christmas touches made it very cosy . The walks around the cottage were breathtaking , we couldn't have asked for a better stay

A home from home
Greeted by Beverley on our arrival. She was extremely welcoming and friendly and took the time to show us all around the property and grounds. The cottage itself was exactly as shown on line, beautiful. Wine, biscuits, tea, coffee, condiments were waiting for us. Wisteria Cottage was ideally situated for a relaxing holiday but within easy reach of beaches and towns.

Lovely quiet holiday cottage
This cottage was the perfect refuge for us while we explored the Isle of Man. The owners were a delight, but not too intrusive and made us feel very welcome, especially the dog. There's plenty of space both inside and out, literally acres of grounds to explore, decent sized rooms to relax in, a decent sized telly too (although we didn't use it). All the appliances we wanted were there and none of the 'helpful' signs taped everywhere. It really was a home from home.

Beautiful comfortable cottage in peaceful location with views of mountains in north of island
Enjoyed a wonderful stay at Wisteria Cottage which was prepared beautifully for our arrival with a few welcome provisions in the fridge too! Beverley gave us a lovely warm welcome and showed us around the walks on the estate- exceeded our expectations- and the secret private garden too for our use! She was a lovely neighbourly presence throughout our stay. We loved the peace and space of the location with gorgeous views of Snaefell and the surrounding hills. The cottage is spacious and beautifully maintained with three showers suited the needs of a family of 5 with teenagers. Beverley even provided garden games and treats for our dog. The only suggestion is that the duvets were quite thick for summer and so a lighter tog with blanket would have suited us better. The IOM escape team have been swift, helpful and professional throughout the whole booking and our stay. Very impressed and will highly recommend to others. Thank you to everyone!

Home from home!
A really lovely homely house in lovely grounds. Very quiet and peaceful and the owners were friendly and accommodating. The location was lovely, however it was just a little remote from the resorts in the south of the island. All in all though it was a lovely week and the Isle of Man itself did not disappoint. We will be back!
Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024

Lovely barn conversion set in beautiful grounds
The property is spacious and super-comfortable. The barn has everything that guests could need. The grounds are an absolute joy to explore. The hosts were very helpful and welcoming and on-hand if needed. We had a fantastic stay and would definitely recommend this property. We were sad to leave.

Just perfect
My wife and I have just enjoyed an outstanding week at Wisteria Cottage. Everything was excellent; the warm welcome from hosts Beverley and Denzil (and Molly the dog); the cottage itself and the grounds; and the IoM itself. We can't wait to go back next year.
