Our house is located in the beautiful village of Agneash, in a peaceful and relaxing location, a mile from Laxey (as featured in the Julia Bradbury Britain's Best Walks programme).

Beautiful surroundings

The property suited are needs down to the ground, did not have any issues at all. Although it is a shared house we had no issues at all because we realised that before booking. The owners are lovely people and we were so lucky to meet them and have a lovely chat each day. Very homely place, very clean and home from home, would stay again without a problem

Laxey Stay

The property was very nice and well positioned to explore the island. The hosts were very helpful and informative. However, on booking it was not made obvious we would be sharing the property with the owners. The holiday was great.

A very peaceful place.

We really enjoyed our time staying with Ant and Sylvie. Their property is very big and we had our own wing. We chatted every day with Ant and Sylvie about attractions in the area and found them both very helpful. The location is beautiful and quiet. A wonderful retreat but within a short drive of the many tourist attractions on the island.

Quiet, well equipped cottage with lovely hosts

Had a lovely few days in beautiful surroundings. Accurate description but there are one or two accessibility issues to be considered for older guests. Wobbly steps to enter, stairs to bedrooms and bathroom straightforward but access between bedroom 1 and guest only bathroom has trip hazards.

B&B not cottage

Please note you are booking a B&B not a house/cottage, this would have been ok if we had not had our 3 dogs with us - one of which is very nervous of strangers. On arrival we soon realised that the layout and set up of the property would not work for us which was a great shame as the property owners appeared very nice and the area stunning. I believe the property description is misleading and should be corrected. Expensive lesson learned to check details more thoroughly!

Great Holiday

Lovely property with great facilities, comfy beds, the hosts were so accommodating and such a lovely, friendly couple with great knowledge of the island and just for a general chit chat. I must admit I was a little surprised when we first landed to discover the hosts actually live in the property, with a bed and breakfast service - some facitlites are shared with the hosts, mainly the kitchen and dining areas. We did have our own cosy lounge with TV and separate stairs to our bedrooms and bathroom. And you are able to cook your own meals if you so desire. A continental style breakfast was provided and excellent choices available with the opportunity to use the kitchen facilities for a cooked breakfast if you want to. Once we settled into the property we had a fabulous and very relaxing holiday with superb hosts and facilities. Thank you Sylvie and Anthony for helping us enjoy our first trip to the Isle of Mann
