A delightful one-bedroomed holiday cottage located on a farm, nestled into the hills and enjoying sp

Maggie's Cottage is a delightful one-bedroomed holiday cottage located on a farm, nestled into the hills enjoying spectacular views over the Central Valley, Greeba, Isle of Man.

Perfect for a tranquil couple's getaway, you can experience the relaxing countryside and the small farm on site. There are sheep, chickens and a dog! Maggie's Cottage is also dog friendly, allowing you to bring your own.

Just down the road from Maggie's Cottage is The Heritage Trail, an old railway line which ran from Douglas to Peel. It has been resurfaced to provide an easy route suitable for all ages. You can walk and cycle along the trail, perfect for a summer's day out!

For those of you who prefer a faster-paced lifestyle, Maggie's Cottage is located just minutes from the TT course, making this a prime spot to base yourself for the action.

Peel, a working fishing port with historical significance, is ten minute drive away. Visit Peel Castle and The House of Manannan, discover the culinary delights on offer from fresh ice cream to today's catch and explore the mazy streets and the town's independent shops.

This property has a spiral staircase which is not suitable for children.

Our first trip to the Isle of Man. We looked for somewhere that would meet our needs and Maggie’s Cottage was perfect for us. Ideal for walkers and cyclists - close to where the Heritage Trail and Millenium Way cross and the central location means the whole island is within easy reach. The cottage itself was comfortable and cosy and fantastic views in every direction. A bonus was watching the chickens from the balcony - so relaxing. Would highly recommend Maggie’s Cottage. Phil and Fliss were great hosts.

Traditional Manx Cottage fully modernised, spiral staircase internally & large steps exterior, kitchen and living room upstairs, bedroom and shower downstairs, we thoroughly enjoyed the cottage and the view. It’s well positioned near the centre of the Island and we enjoyed the steam heritage walk. We’d cheerfully consider staying again.

The location of the property was excellent, Phil met us as we arrived, nothing was too much trouble and had loads of knowledge about the island. We had a lovely time and the weather was fantastic, which made it all the better. Isle of Man is a lovely place, we will be back for sure.

Immaculate, very well equipped and most comfortable accommodation. Beautiful location with exceptional views and fabulous, friendly, helpful hosts. Visited for TT race week, the cottage is directly off the track and only a 10 minute drive to the grandstand. There’s a bus stop at the top of the road and easy access to the rest of the island. Would throughly recommend a stay in Maggies Cottage however if you have mobility issues the outside steps and pretty spiral staircase may prove challenging.

The cottage was an ideal base to explore the island and the IOM , in particular the south of the island , was beautiful . We were fortunate that the TT racing did not disrupt our stay - had we booked for either of the following two weeks then it would have been a different story . We found the locals to be very friendly and welcoming as demonstrated by the owners of the cottage . All in all it was a very pleasant stay - four days of wonderful weather and two days of rain when we took shelter in the excellent museums on offer .

Maggies is set in a beautiful location with stunning views. A few chickens roaming around and a little Robin that came every morning to sit on the fence. Phil & Fliss are the perfect hosts. Maggies is the perfect place to relax and explore the island from Perfect tranquility. We absolutely loved it.

My seven day stay at Maggies Cottage was a wonderful antidote to the noise and stress of city life. It’s a beautiful cottage in a tranquil and scenic setting. On a clear night you get a lovely view of the night sky through the four Velux windows in the ceiling. Seeing the contented farm animals all around is also quite relaxing. Despite being out of the way, it’s only a short drive to the A1 giving easy access to Douglas (16 minutes) and Peel (12 minutes), and the towns on the south coast are 20 to 30 minutes away. The hosts are very friendly and helpful yet respectful of your privacy as well. Overall a wonderful experience.

This is our 2nd stay at Maggies this year, our 4th over the past two years which says it all, a perfect place to stay, centrally located for our needs, The property is outstanding with everything you need for a relaxing stay. Fliss and Phil are wonderful hosts, very informative and friendly. Needless to say we have booked again for next year and cannot wait to return. All in all we had a great time touring the island knowing we had a relaxing and peaceful place to return to in the evening.

Maggie's cottage is an amazing tranquil contemporary cottage, with stunning views of the surrounding Greeba Valley. We were welcomed by Fliss and Phil, who are great hosts. The cottage is well equipped for a short, or longer stay and we felt right at home immediately. The location is great for exploring the Isle of Man, being quite central, you are only 15-20 minutes away from Douglas, Peel, Laxey, and Castle Town. Likewise Phil recommended a couple of good pubs, and local walking locations, which we gave a go and they didn't disappoint! In all we really enjoyed our stay, and Maggie's cottage is first on the list to book, when we head back to the Isle of Man in future.

The directions to find Maggies Cottage were spot on and we found ourselves on a single track road leading steeply uphill in places to the cottage. The owners Fliss & Phil were there to meet us and help us settle in .The cottage was just as advertised. Comfortably furnished & well equipped. The all important bed was comfortable and we enjoyed a good night's sleep. The cottage is central on the Island and the furthest point was no more than 40mins away. The nearest shop a very good Coop and the local pub only 6 mins away. All in all we were delighted by Maggies Cottage.

Beautiful, well- equipped cottage in the perfect location - quiet and peaceful yet close to public transport links. Not having a car with us, 'Go Explore ' cards were invaluable for getting around using the excellent public transport system. There are many lovely walks around the island, including the coastal path, the Steam Heritage trail and a lovely walk up Greeba Mountain and beyond. For the reasonably fit, we found a car is not a necessity to explore the beautiful island. Phil and Fliss were great hosts.

Obviously, we are all different and have many and varied tastes and therefore this review must be subjective. With that qualification, I would say that my wife and I have stayed in many cottages, both home and abroad and Maggie's Cottage is right up there with the very best. If one has a check list of everything one would ask of a holiday cottage, then this has it. As a perfectly equipped place for two to use as a warm and cosy base, this has everything. Add to that the most hospitable hosts you could wish to meet, then whenever we visit the Isle of Man this will be the place for us, absolutely no point in looking elsewhere. Just off the A1 outside Douglas, the location is rural and very central from which to journey forth. However, this being our first trip to the Isle of Man I was lulled into a false sense of security by my 'phone sat nav. Ended up down a farm track, the extraction from which was particularly difficult! The car sat nav indicated where we were on the road but would not provide directions. The directions from the Agency left a lot to be desired, but the owners of the cottage are addressing this. Once found it's easy to find again! All in all, from our perspective, a perfect place to stay. Our grateful thanks go to our hosts for sharing their fantastic farm with us.

I stayed here alone for two weeks at the start of November. Nice location at the end of a lane/track up a hillside, overlooking a valley.....fairly easy to find in my opinion. Coming from an area that suffers from 24 hour noise and light pollution I especially appreciated the peace and darkness. I expect on a clear night with a new moon the night sky would be quite a sight. Although on a farm it's not a busy noisy working farm. Just a few sheep, ponies and a few chickens pecking away here and there. .....plus a few wild ducks using the pond. Ideally located for easy access to all parts of the Island. The heritage trail (former railway line) is just down the lane for safe flat walking/cycling. East to Douglas or West to St.John's/Tynwald Hill and beyond, Peel. There is also a bus stop at the end of the lane, should you wish to bus one way and then walk back. A busy co-op, a short drive or healthy walk to Crosby has most things you will need. It's also handy for when you arrive in the early evening via the boat from Douglas and need fresh produce. Maggie's cottage is comfortable and well equipped and wants for nothing. Good wifi for research/planning trips/info etc.. and an extensive range of tv channels/you tube etc. for dark evenings. The owners live nearby but are not intrusive. However they are friendly and informative. All in all, excellent place ideal for a single/couple...which in itself is a rare find as many properties are much larger and generally more expensive. Now if only they would rebuild the Douglas to Peel railway with a halt at Greeba.....wishful thinking I'm afraid. A memorable stay. Gura mie ayd.
