Ballajora Farm Cottage

About

Welcome to Ballajora Cottage, a beautifully renovated former mill nestled within the historic Ballajora Farm, which dates all the way back to the 1700s. Lovingly restored, this charming self-catering cottage offers a peaceful escape in stunning, unspoiled surroundings.

Sleeping up to four guests across three cosy bedrooms, it’s the perfect hideaway for a small family, a couple’s retreat, or a quiet trip with friends. The interiors blend rustic charm with modern comfort, creating a warm and welcoming space to unwind.

Step outside into generous front and rear gardens, complete with outdoor seating for lazy mornings with coffee or long evenings under the stars. Both lawns are natural suntraps, tucked away amongst mature trees, leafy plants, and the characterful stone buildings of the old farm.

Beyond the cottage, Maughold is a treasure trove for nature lovers and walkers. The area boasts breathtaking coastal views, dramatic cliffs, and peaceful coves - ideal for exploring on foot, especially along the famous Raad ny Foillan coastal footpath. For those drawn to culture and history, the ancient Celtic crosses in the churchyard offer a glimpse into the Isle of Man’s rich heritage.

And no visit is complete without a ride on the Manx Electric Railway. With original Victorian tramcars still in service, it’s a nostalgic journey through rolling countryside and along the coast, linking Maughold to the charming towns of Ramsey, Laxey and Douglas.

Whether you're seeking tranquillity, adventure, or a bit of both, Ballajora Cottage is a truly special place to slow down, breathe deeply, and enjoy the timeless beauty of the Isle of Man.

Ballajora Cottage is managed by local self-catering accommodation company Island Escapes. Please visit their website to book Ballajora Cottage.
