Balladuke Farmhouse - a holiday cottage that sleeps 6 guests in 4 bedrooms

Set in the beautiful rural location of Ballabeg just five minutes drive from Castletown and the Isle of Man Airport Balladuke is a former farmhouse lovingly converted into a four bedroomed holiday cottage with beautiful views over the surrounding countryside and coastline of the south of the Isle of Man.

Within easy reach of un-spoilt beaches and National Glens where spectacular views and Manx wildlife take centre stage. Enjoy a day walking and cycling, there are many trails available for all levels.

Balladuke was recently recommended by The Country Walking Magazine. With four bedrooms, sleeping a total of six people Balladuke offers a great self catering space for a family or group of friends.

Less than a mile from the Billown Circuit, the farmhouse offers the ideal base for those looking to watch the Southern 100 Road Races which takes place in early July each year and the pre-TT classic in late May.

Fantastic find!

Absolutely loved everything about this property, the host Elaine and the Isle of Man. Balladuke farmhouse was exactly as listed, but the extra mile that Elaine goes to for her guests is just outstanding. Would return there in a heartbeat!

Amazing Home from home stay

Very impressed with this wonderful property with an amazing view. Cosy and comfy a real home from home. Quiet and peaceful. Owner lives on same site and welcomed us when we arrived, showed us round and how everything worked which was very helpful. 20 mins from ferry terminal and good local pub and shop 5 mins drive away in Colby. Very impressed with the isle over all, Everywhere we ate was lovely and the people were very welcoming. This 4 bedroom self catering house had everything you could want. Washing machine, tumble dryer, iron and board etc, plenty of plates and cups, we didn't want for anything. Elaine the owner checked in on us mid stay just to check everthing was ok and then met us again at departure to check we had everything and see us of. Thanks also to John from Island escapes who was very accommodating when we thought our ferry might have been delayed. Great place and and an amazing stay thank you.
