Ellan Vannin - sleeps 5 guests in 3 bedrooms
Ellan Vannin is one of a collection of refurbished listed buildings in an historic area of Castletown in the south of the Isle of Man. Adjoining the Bailey Scott designed former Police station and right next to Castle Rushen, a medieval castle once the home to the Kings and Lords of Mann the area is steeped in history. Overlooking the harbour and waterfront, cross over the footbridge in front of the property and you'll find the Nautical museum. Uncover the story of the inventive George Quayle and his most significant surviving creation Peggy, the earliest known example of a British armed yacht.
Ellan Vannin has been lovingly refurbished to a very high standard, with 3 bedrooms and a comfortable open plan lounge and dining area providing a great space for socialising and entertaining. A rooftop terrace (with outdoor heater) overlooking the harbour and castle provides a welcome spot to enjoy a drink or two whilst watching the world go by. Next door is Packet House, which sleeps 4 so could be booked together for a larger group.
Castletown is a great base for a holiday, just 5 minutes from the airport and with a wide range of bars, restaurants and cafes close by.

Family Reunion / Isle of Man
This property was stunning! My husband and I and his 2 sisters were on the Isle of Man to see our daughter perform with her school orchestra. The home was perfect for us. Having 2 separate bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor and a primary suite with bath on the 3rd floor gave us all the privacy we needed. The house is immaculately clean, and beautifully appointed, tastefully decorated. The host was very responsive and easy to communicate with when we had trouble with the door code on arrival. Within minutes the problem was solved. The host left us fresh bread, butter and local jam, as well as tea, coffee and espresso. This is a 5 start property!

Great stay in IOM - great value
Excellent property, and office just around the corner for instant help with things.
If I were the owner I would sort out the TV (ie get a new and better one - see Consumer association best buys!) as viewing normal TV is fiddly and clunky and not up to the standard of the rest of the property.

Wonderful family stay in Castletown
Thanks for a great stay. We would really like to come back to the same property in the future because the layout, decor and position is great.
Unfortunately, the internet broke early on. We also there was no television unless you had both internet and signed in with your own accounts. This was not an issue early on but was when the rest of our family left.
For a property of this level the supply of drinking glasses (not wine) was a little short.
However, the situation and preparation and support from Island Hideaways was excellent. High chair quickly supplied when requested late by us. Really clean and lovely “White company stuff” in bathrooms and beds very comfy. On warm days/evenings the terrace is awesome.

Stay was great but there were no electrical outlets in any bath making it a little difficult for ladies to get ready in the mornings. Also could have used a couple coat hooks in entry to hand coats when we entered. Great location and very nice villa
