About
Welcome to Ballavolley Cottages.
Originally an old Manx Tholtan, our cottages have been fully restored and tastefully renovated, reclaiming many materials used in the original building, retaining the old, deep cottage walls and window sills as nod to its past. The interiors have been dressed in a country-luxe aesthetic to provide stylishly cosy and luxurious holiday accommodation. Premium fittings and furnishings have been chosen throughout for your comfort and enjoyment.
We have two self-catering cottages to choose from, or the property can be booked as one unit which sleeps up to 6 guests. If you wish to book as a group, the patio can be opened up by prior request so you can socialise together.
Bumblebee Cottage (Sleeps up to 4 Guests)
This cottage has two super-king bedrooms, one of which can be set up as a twin by prior request. Dressed with sumptuous, boutique-hotel quality bed linens and luxurious velvet throws, our bedrooms are designed with relaxation in mind. Both bedrooms have French doors which lead onto a private patio area, equipped with your own hot tub and outdoor seating. A perfect viewing point over the garden and open countryside, where you can watch the wildlife from, or sink into the spa of an evening and indulge in some serious stargazing!
The living room comprises of a button-back sofa, two occasional chairs and a real-flame effect log burner. A shaker style kitchen comes equipped with all the utilities you could need (washer/dryer, dishwasher, microwave, electric hob, oven, fridge with freezer compartment). On arrival a varied selection of beverages, including teas, coffee and hot chocolate will be available. Biscuits are included too!
Your spa-style bathroom is a luxurious wet room with a waterfall shower, underfloor heating and soft, sumptuous towels. Complimentary, eco-friendly toiletries are included as standard.
Dragonfly Cottage (Sleeps up to 2 Guests)
This cottage has one luxury super-king bedroom, styled with rustic wooden furniture which perfectly complements the aged ceiling beams. French doors lead onto your private patio area where you'll find your hot tub, picnic table and rattan furniture.
The interior of this cottage mirrors that of Bumblebee, albeit with some differing artwork.
Surrounding Area
Our cottages are situated within a 30-acre small holding, in a countryside setting. The property offers views of the garden, a natural dub/pond, woodland area, fields and hay meadows. A peaceful location and only a short distance to many of the Island's attractions such as the Curragh's Wildlife Park, Ballaugh Beach, glens and nature reserves. We are on the TT course and have accessible vantage points close to the action at Ballacrye, or the famous Ballaugh Bridge landmark.
