Description
New to Island Escapes for 2023!
A traditional cottage in the heart of Castletown, Isle of Man, a short stroll from the impressive medieval Castle Rushen, picturesque harbour, local bars, shops and restaurants.
Mariner’s Cottage is located in a fantastic position for exploring the historic town, nearby beaches, beauty spots and coastal paths - and with transport links just a stone’s throw away, it’s the perfect base from which to branch out and discover the rest of the island.
This charming self-catering cottage is ideal for your family holiday or for a couple’s romantic getaway, where you can relax, unwind and enjoy cosy nights by the log burner.
This homely cottage is set over two floors, with the open-plan ground floor offering a well-equipped kitchen, lounge/dining area and a snug. Upstairs there are two double-bedrooms with king size beds (one of which can also be set up as a twin room), and the bathroom which features a bath, powerful over-tub shower, wash basin and WC. Outside to the rear of the cottage there is a courtyard seating area with wooden decking and castle views.
Mariner’s Cottage is just a five minute walk away from the Billown road racing circuit which hosts the Southern 100 Races in July, as well as the Pre and Post TT Races. The airport is a 5 minute drive away, so Mariner's Cottage is easily accessed!

Cosy cottage in Castletown
Cosy two bedroom cottage in the centre of Castletown, a lovely part of the Isle of Man. Great location for exploring, everything is within a short walking distance, and there are frequent buses to the airport, Douglas and Port Erin. Enough space downstairs with a kitchen/lounge and a lounge/dining room, but both double bedrooms small with very little storage space. Floors and surfaces were clean, but a lot of cobwebs above. Kitchen was well equipped but too many cups and glasses chipped or cracked. Island Escapes were helpful in allowing us to stay two extra nights due to the ferries being cancelled during Storm Kathleen, but the price had risen sharply, and they weren't that keen to replenish domestic supplies. We ran out of loo paper on the Sunday evening! So, a nice stay, but room for improvement.Cleanliness

The cosy Mariners cottage
Staying at Marianas cottage was a really lovely experience. We stayed over the Christmas period and not only was there a Christmas tree up, everything was provided for. It is a cosy, comfortable and homely cottage and would highly recommend to anyone thinking of booking it. Perfect location in the town centre as well.Cleanliness

A characterful cottage .
Mariners Cottage is a lovely old cottage , which lhas been tastefully extended and modernised. It is excellently placed, in the centre of Castletown , near the central square , castle and harbour. You can see the from the bedrooms . There is some outdoor seating and table too. The skylight and stable door at the back are nice features. I did have a few quibbles , which the owners and Island Escapes responded to very quickly. On the downside , I do think it very expensive. I also think providing no washing powder and only 3 dishwasher tabs , especially considering the cost of rental , was not generous. They did provide more dishwasher tabs , as I complained. I left some in the box to be of help to other customers!Cleanliness
