Escape to the Country

Staying on a farm - B&B , Self-Catering or camping - has lots of natural appeal, particularly when you’re talking Isle of Man .

For one thing, there's the great choice of rural locations, none of which are more than seven miles from the sea. For another, there's the comfort of knowing that the high standards of accommodation will soon encourage you to relax, unwind and look forward with relish to the great taste of fresh local produce and Manx hospitality.

There is accommodation on working farms throughout the Island, all can be found through an accommodation search by 'type' or 'region'. There is also a stay on a farm group which includes a number of these properties. Some of these farms even welcome your involvement in day-to-day activities so there's every opportunity to get a real insight into farming life, if only by enjoying an organised tour.

And, of course, the farming environment can be a real eye-opener for families and kids. See just how much work, time and care goes into producing our food is an education in itself.

Each farm has its own specialities, such as pedigree Aberdeen Angus cattle, Belgian Blue calves, dairies and the award-winning conservation work, which shows how modern agriculture can help protect wildlife by working hand in hand with the environment in manages. In fact, on a Manx farm holiday, there's never a dull moment.

So when you make your great escape to the Isle of Man for an unforgettable holiday, go one better - make sure you escape to the beautiful Manx countryside too!
