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.

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!

Retracing our steps
My sister and our partners had a lovely week retracing child hood experiences on the island. A lovely week in sunshine staying at Balladuke Farmhouse. Very peaceful, in a lovely rural location. Very comfortable farmhouse, with plenty of room for all.

One week in Balladuke
Quiet rural property. Very clean. Everything in good working order . One of our group found the single mattress uncomfortable. Host was informative about local walks. Heating and hot water were excellent. Log burner very pleasant on a chilly evening.

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.
