Eary Cushlin - a holiday cottage that sleeps 9 guests in 4 bedrooms

Hidden on the rugged western coastline just beneath Cronk ny Arrey Laa, sits the former home of eccentric recluse Colby Cubbon, who purchased the property hoping to escape the German bombing raids – ironically it was one of only two German bombs that fell on the Island landed just metres away.

The property is owned by Manx National Heritage and operated by Island Escapes on their behalf. The farmhouse now offers a unique holiday destination for families, friends and small groups looking for an adventurous rural getaway.

Nestled along the Raad Ny Foillan coastal walking route and neighbouring the South Barrule mountain bike trails; Eary Cushlin offers something for every outdoors enthusiast.

The property benefits from a spacious living room, separate dining room and large kitchen along with breakfast bar, boot room, a downstairs shower room and upstairs bathroom. Sleeping up to nine people, the farmhouse has four bedrooms and for guests unable to use the stairs, an additional king size sofa bed is available in the lounge.

A private dining experience is also offered at this property which can be booked in conjunction with your stay. Find out more.

Please note that there is no mobile phone signal at this property, a telephone is provided which can be used for local calls.

We had a lovely time as a family in Eary Cushlin. The house is spacious, quiet, sleeps up to 9 persons and has just the most spectacular view. We loved every minute of our stay.

Even though it was only 20 minutes from home, this still felt like a real break away. Beautiful location and very well equipped house. We will definitely be back for another visit.

Driving up to the property was simply breathtaking. We loved staying at Eary Cushlin. So peaceful but still not that hard to get anywhere (the island is not that big so nothing is terribly far). You do need a car. Would certainly stay here again if we find ourselves in Isle of Man in the future. Highly recommended.

We booked Eary Cushlin for a family holiday - we needed a large property to cope with three generations under one roof. It proved to be an ideal choice. The house is set in a truly stunning location, in a beautiful part of the island, alongside the coastal footpath, and is warm, comfortable, and very well appointed. There were lots of thoughtful touches which we really appreciated - for example, picnic rug, cool bag and flasks, which proved very useful. Thoroughly recommended.

10/10

Eary cushlin was a perfect place to reconnect with close family. I used to live on the island through my teens and visited my grandparents since I was born. We now have a family of 6 and rented this property to return to the island after 10 years. The view south is one of my favorite views on earth, and the walk to white beach is only about 20 mins. The house has been remodeled with a gorgeous interior and has everything you need. The view from the bedrooms is unmatched. Just perfect to host the family.

Only minor problem not connected to overall conditions - wasp nest above - rear downstairs window - or near too Clearer - easier oven instructions needed - book difficult to understand ! Key instructions for door opening/ gates etc. could be made easier.

The most stunning location on the island. Well equipped and comfy. Gas made us feel unwell initially, so kept window wide open. Shower room didn’t drain very well and caused minor flood. But the view and isolation made it perfect.

What a beautiful and restful location. The property was immaculate and the views are absolutely incredible. 5*

Not a house for those seeking the city lights - but perfect for everyone else! It’s spacious, comfortable, well equipped and utterly, utterly quiet. Nearly all the rooms look onto the sea, and beyond to the Mountains of Mourne in Ireland: absolutely beautiful. We experienced no problems with electricity overload, but that may be because there were only five of us. The access road and track posed no problems. Recommended!

Absolutely loved our break at Eary Cushlin. Location is fantastic, so isolated and lots of great walks for me and road cycling for my husband. The house is well equipped, has comfortable beds and great shower power. Sunsets were amazing.

[We were on a joint expedition in search of myths and legends - LAPIS Paranormal and Centre for Fortean Zoology] You open the gate and head slowly down the track, which is perfectly suitable for any car that can get on and off the ferry without grounding. You spot a lonely house peeking above the gorse moorland. It looks very atmospheric even in bright sunshine, and if you arrive when there is a sea mist even more so! Plenty of space to park a few cars (We were 7 people with 3 cars). The welcome package included tea, coffee, bread, butter, milk and even cheese! Far more than we were expecting. The house is spacious, including a large lounge and "formal" dining room as well as large breakfast bar in the kitchen. The kitchen itself is quite small but well equipped with good quality appliances and lots of crockery and cutlery. The bedrooms are mostly a good size and comfy, although if you need the 4th bedroom it is quite small and although the bunk beds are adult size it is perhaps better as a single room, unless you really need the extra bed! While being aware of the "off grid" status of the property we weren't affected by this at all, and all 7 of us could take showers and prepare breakfast at various times without any issues. Perhaps if you need to use the dishwasher and the washing machine you may need to think about when you do it and plan accordingly but it really wasn't an issue for us. You can hear the generator, which only fires up occasionally, if you're outside but it's not very loud and you don't notice it from inside the house. So, given that the house is pretty much perfect, we turn to the main reason you would choose Eary Cushlin... The view is amazing, and the location is unique! Sure its 20 minutes or so from any shop or pub, and don't think you can use the bus as at best it's a mile up the track or maybe 2 miles down the coast path to Niarbyl, and at worst there just aren't any buses when you might need them! But you've chosen one of the most remote properties on the Island on purpose yeah? You may see people strolling past the front door but there's nothing else around. The sunsets are amazing when they happen and clear skies at night will have you sat out watching for meteors and enjoying the milky way. Then in the early morning the sea mists can be a beautiful sight as they roll off the island and head out to sea, or envelop the "land of mists" in an atmosphere straight out of a feature film. There is history to discover, and there are few places where you can have exclusive access to a national heritage property for a few days. If you know "Gef the talking mongoose" (and he will soon be famous as Simon Pegg is making a film...) then you are IN the story here. Doarlish Cashen is a couple of miles up onto Dalby Mountain, and Eary Cushlin is the farm where Mongooses were introduced to the Island for pest control. And of course you are on the Isle of Man, where there is a historic site literally around every corner! Oh, and we have already spoken to Island Escapes about booking Eary Cushlin again next year, it really is that good!

This was a returning stay which again was enjoyable and relaxing. Beautiful property in an amazing location. There are a couple of bits to mention however. The view was slightly spoiled by face and lipstick marks on the downstairs windows and the front door was VERY difficult to lock/unlock, both of which we mentioned on the feedback sheet in the property. It is a perfect property to relax in and wind down from daily life. WE WILL BE BACK. Thank you.

Eary Cushlin is a unique and very special place to stay, very spacious, warm and comfortable with beautiful uninterrupted sea views. It was perfect for a nostalgic family visit with ages ranging from 24 to 84. Long track and gates added to journey times but worth it for the privacy. Well equipped apart from only 4 wine glasses! Slow draining shower was very promptly dealt with after a phone call from in house land line. We booked Chris and Vanessa's catering services for the Friday evening but when, unfortunately they got covid, they kept us fully informed and organised delivery of food all prepared with clear instructions for final cooking. We enjoyed a delicious meal of parsnip and pear soup, baked salmon with ratatouille, and fennel gratin and fresh fruit pavlova. Highly recommended to make the most of dining in such a lovely setting. We didn't get many sunsets due to lots of mist but even that was atmospheric and beautiful in its own way. The sun, when there, glowed in all the front windows during the evenings and you could see the Irish hills on the horizon. I'm already missing being there and would definitely like to return.

2nd visit to this property. Excellent stay again, the only down side is the very small kitchen but that's only a minor issue when you consider the rest of the house and the location/views!

Excellent property in a stunning location, perfect for our group celebration. Well furnished, but kitchen (including the range cooker) on the small side for a large group - some extra glasses would have been beneficial too. Great walking country with fantastic views from the top of Cronk ny Arrey Laa. Binoculars and telescope a nice touch for spotting passing ferries and stars at night, and a good choice of books and local guides. Lounge very cosy with the cast iron (gas) stove. We used the services of Chris and Vanessa Callow for catering on the Saturday evening. We would heartily recommend them, food was excellent and lovely friendly service. They washed up too !! Access lane is okay for 4x4's but you wouldn't want to drive your historic Porsche down there ! I can understand the need for the padlocked gate, but the short chain made it difficult at times to see the combination, especially in the dark/poor weather. But overall, great property for a group who appreciate the away-from-it-all rugged setting.

It’s a breathtaking and unique spot and we had an amazing time, didn’t want to leave. Some of the furniture in the lounge and some of the blinds needs replacing and there is some damp in the lounge - they didn’t detract from the stay, just need to keep on top of the maintenance to justify the price.

Me and the rest of my party had an amazing time at Eary Cushlin. Not only is the spot great to wake up to, but the house itself is well furnished and purpose built. Definitely would stay here again next year.
