Wonderful place to return to. Lovely room, great breakfasts and truely friendly hosts. I don't see how this place could be bettered. The cottage is a great place to return to after days enjoying all the island has to offer.

Lovely warm welcome on arrival from the owners, Chris and Andrew, and of course not forgetting Bob! The motorbike was soon settled in to the carpeted garage, while we enjoyed a lovely coffee and piece of cake, even though we had arrived late at night. The area was so beautiful and quiet, the only sound being the occasional 'whistle' from... More

A warm welcome awaits you from Chris and Andrew when you arrive at their excellent B&B. Equal if not better than many hotels we have been in. Rooms are warm and comfortable with many home comforts. Breakfasts are delicious and served always with a smile. This is a very happy B&B with a lovely atmosphere and we will go again... More

It's not often that a return visit lives up to memories of an earlier visit. Our return did just that. So long as you are happy staying in lovely countryside where a car is essential this place is perfect. We love the South of the island and love this place. Superb room and a wonderful welcome and the island came... More

I stayed here last year with a friend whilst doing some studies and returned this year to finish those studies and to be a tourist on the Isle of Man. Last year Chris and Andrew had made us very welcome and this year was no different. Standards have not dropped at all. If anything, they have managed to make it... More

Many thanks to Chris and Andrew for a lovely stay in their B&B. This was the second time I have stayed with them and the spacious accomodation and breakfasts are just fantastic. I hope to return next year for the TT practice week or Southern 100, or maybe both!!

Took my 90 years young mother to the island for a nostalgic birthday treat. She needed both her wheelchair and walking frame to get around. Christina and Andrew, who are perfect hosts, happily accommodated these aids. Mum used the ground floor bedroom with its fantastic en-suite facilities while I had a very comfortable upstairs room. Bedroom tea/coffee/chocolate making facilities are... More
