James' Cottage at the Black Dub

James' Cottage

Sleeps 6, dogs welcome

A spellbinding stay set along the sprawling west coast

For an escape to embrace Manx highlights, James’ Cottage awaits, perfectly positioned within serene surroundings and historical landmarks. Whisk the family away to enjoy the island’s abundant charm with the dog in tow.

Nestled amongst towering trees and a magical TT experience, this cosy cottage offers a welcoming space for up to six guests. Reconnect over morning ritual brews, lingering lunches, and family feasts in the kitchen/diner, before relaxing in the comfy lounge. Met with warm textures and soft light, made for the dreamiest of evenings unwinding, enjoy film favourites on plush sofas, recharging for the next day of island adventures…

Soak in the island’s charm with nearby wanders in the serene surroundings of Eairy Beg Plantation, where woodland walks and leafy landscapes invite you to explore at your own pace. A little further afield, the coastal town of Peel offers a wonderful day out, with the House of Manannan Museum bringing the Isle of Man’s Celtic, Viking and maritime tales to life.

Whether you spend your days exploring tree-lined paths, discovering historic landmarks or soaking up the atmosphere of the TT course, James’ Cottage offers a delightful balance of adventure and relaxation. Return from a day of island exploration to the peaceful surroundings of your countryside hideaway, with the freedom to enjoy time together and make the most of your Manx escape.

Nestled just beyond the 9th milestone of the famous Isle of Man TT racecourse, James’ Cottage promises the perfect vantage point for the island’s beloved event. Book your space on the VIP roof terrace at The Black Dub, and enjoy free access to the forecourt when you stay at James’ Cottage. You will also gain 50% off grandstand tickets, inviting you to craft a memorable and exhilarating stay.

For those looking to bring everyone together while retaining a little space of their own, the cottage can be booked alongside Charlie’s Cottage, Kegs Cottage and Vines Cottage. When all four cottages are reserved together, they can accommodate up to 15 guests, making them ideal for multi-generational family holidays, group celebrations and restorative escapes with friends.
