About this property

West View - a holiday cottage that sleeps 3 guests in 2 bedrooms

West View is a charming annex to a large traditional Mansion house set in it's own grounds just a few minutes walk from the Isle of Man TT Grandstand in Douglas.

Whilst located in the island's capital, the secluded nature of the property within the large wooded grounds provides a hamlet of tranquillity just minutes from the hussle and bussle of the town.

The property has a spacious feel, with high ceilings and fine traditional decor. The master bedroom has a large king sized bed and plenty of space, with a view over the garden and lawn. The property would suit a couple or small family looking for a central base to explore the island, close to the island's main amenities. For larger groups, book it alongside Deaks Cottage and Woodcroft, which both sleep 4, and are set in the same grounds.

Being so close the TT Grandstand it is sure to appeal to those looking to enjoy the various motorsport events that take place nearby.

Parking is available outside and there is a bus stop close by.

Beautiful house and garden. The Accommodation is slightly smaller than the photos on the website made it appear. Very pleasant, helpful hosts.

Lovely and Convenient
West View is a beautiful old property that is well-equipped for any length stay. There are two floors, and stairs (as mentioned in the property description) that could be a challenge for those with mobility issues. We were able to navigate them without problems. The property is set back in a green area that is beautiful and quiet. It is also located right across the street from bus stops that can connect you almost anywhere on the Isle of Man, which was very convenient for our stay as we didn't hire a car. An excellent experience all around!

Douglas in the rain
I was born in the Isle of Man so it was fun to be in upper Douglas-not far from my childhood house and school. We were unlucky with the weather. It was raining most of the time. We became very good at catching the bus up or down when it was too wet to walk. It is a great location-so easy to get to the shops and the entertainment at the Gaiety and the Villa etc.We liked the fact that our car was very safe behind the gates and in fact we used it less than usual as it was so easy to get into town and take a bus or a train. The house is well set up for visitors, well decorated and everything was very clean when we arrived. I do suggest that it would be good to have something to enable visitors to hang up coats in the entrance . It was difficult to get things dry when we came in from wet outings. The bathroom also needs some updating . However, these comments are minor ones. .We had a lovely time at West View, despite the weather .

Lovely location
We really enjoyed our time at West View and would definitely book it again. The location is perfect. Right in the heart of Douglas but, because of the lovely grounds, feeling as if it was in the middle of the country. We even had a pheasant visiting regularly.

Autumn break at West view.
West View was very easy to find and in a lovely quiet location. Also perfectly situated for travelling around the Island. Main bedroom was marvellous. We did need to contact Island Escapes for help setting up the TV and found this difficult each evening. The armchair in the lounge looks grubby without the cushions. A non stick frying pan would be very useful. Apart from these minor things we had a great holiday and I would recommend West View

Excellent location
This cottage is situated with several others in a large garden quite close to Douglas town centre. The Sea Termonal is about a 25-30 minutes walk away. There are also quite frequent buses. Despite being fairly central, the cottage is very quiet. It is very spacious with a large double bedroom with an armchair and a view over the garden for stay at home days. The only downside for us was the staircase which has a sharp turn half way up.

An oasis of calm close to the relative bustle of Douglas
This is a beautifully presented period property, with high ceilings and many period features, a separate wing of a Victorian mansion. It had only recently been decorated throughout. The peaceful view from the very large double bedroom is across a lawn bounded by trees, yet the property is only a few minutes by car from the seafront or around a 25 minutes walk, though it's quite a steep climb coming back. The single bedroom (which we didn't use) is quite small but does benefit from a separate private dressing area. The sitting room was comfortable and relaxing, the kitchen/diner adequately equipped for the size of the property. The property is on a couple of bus routes and we made some use of public transport as an alternative to driving. We found the Go Explore travel cards were good value for money, especially if you plan to use the island's heritage transport system. Whilst let through an agency, we happened to meet the owner, who was charming and helpful. All in all, we had a very enjoyable stay at West View and it will definitely be our first choice of accommodation the next time we holiday on the wonderful Isle of Mann.

A super retreat
West View was an absolutely idea spot for our stay on the Isle of Man. The property is lovely and set in superb, secluded gardens whilst being just a few minutes walk from many activities. An excellent base for exploring the island. The owner was extremely helpful. We did have some difficulty finding it in the dark when we first arrived (we don't have sat-nav or such like). Some idea of distance from the traffic lights would have helped and also some mention of the gates may have aided our search especially when three people we asked had no idea where it was! Altogether though we loved it and would certainly highly recommend it

Two weeks self-isolation stay at West View.
My son and I stayed at West View following a hospital appointment in the UK and had to self-isolate on return to IOM. It was a beautiful, peaceful place to stay. It was comfortable and well equipped. We arrived in the evening and it took me a while to locate the instruction folder, which contained the wifi password. The wifi did cut out a couple of times, but was mostly reliable. I found instructions for the washer-drier, but none for the oven , the dishwasher, or the heating. I did find that it was cold in the middle of the day and would have liked to boost the heating at times. Overall we enjoyed our stay at West View and for us it worked well for our self-isolation period.
