Beautiful property and location
We stayed at the Hawthorns for 4 nights over Easter. We had no problem finding it and arrival procedures were straight forward. The property has 3 good sized bedrooms, two bathrooms plus a separate toilet and a good sized lounge and kitchen.The situation was beautiful and an added bonus was the Spa & gym including hot tub, sauna and steam room - all straight forward to operate. The only downside really is the lack of taxis around Peel however we did find one guy who was very helpful. Otherwise someone needs to drive if you want to go out for the night. The owners were very friendly and helpful and we would definitely returnCleanliness

Family holiday
Absolutely loved this property. Great for our family of five. Plenty of room and everything we needed. Stunning inside and out great location. The owner was onsite for help with anything if needed and plenty of outside space and games for the children to run around and have fun. I can not fault this place at all. However when trying to find the place do not use the postcode as it doesn't work and takes you off roading if you follow the street name it really is quite simple and you'll have no issues. We are already looking at rebooking for next year. Thank you for a great stay.Cleanliness

Family visit for TT races
Wanted somewhere to take 4 adults and a child. This was perfect. Lovely converted barn cottage with upside down rooms. Plenty of space and had all we needed for a weeks self catering stay. On arrival we had a loaf of bread, pint of milk, butter, cheese, tea,coffee, sugar and biscuits waiting for us which was great as we arrived really late at night. Having bedrooms downstairs kept them cool and living space upstairs gave us lovely countryside views. There is a sauna, hot tub and gym available to use. Only 10 minutes from Peel and the beach and food outlets. Just right for a full English by the castle. Would highly recommend and will use again.Cleanliness

An excellent holiday property
An excellent property, well equipped and comfortable. The spa facilities were an added bonus. Very peaceful and quiet location. The owner showed us round on arrival and was helpful throughout with advice on places to go. The only slight negative was that we found the sofas in the lounge rather too soft and given our age we would have preferred something firmer. The beds were very comfortable which we find is a rarity in holiday accommodation these days. It was a very short and easy drive into Peel for eating out in the evening.Cleanliness

Perfect family staycation
We rented the Swallows and the Hawthorns for a family staycation. We found both properties to be spotlessly clean and are well designed for large family get togethers. The gym and spa add an extra dimension for those who want it although the weather was so good we hardly used it. There are so many good walks around that you would never be at a loose end in this location. We thoroughly recommend the properties.Cleanliness

Fantastic Accommodation
We booked as a family group of 13 and were pleasantly surprised to find that we could connect the cottages if we wanted to and walk to each other's cottage via the patio. The gym/hot tub/sauna/steam room were an added bonus and we used them all frequently during our stay. They were continually kept clean. David was a very helpful and friendly host. Access to field next to the cottages was brilliant to enable children to burn off leftover energy at the end of the day! All three cottages were clean and set up perfectly when we arrived. The location was ideal - very quiet rural area but with easy access to everything via a short drive. The beautiful waterfall at Glen Maye nearby is well worth exploring. Overall, a beautiful, peaceful location with a clean, modern cottage. Could not have asked for more and will definitely recommend to friends to stay here, particularly those with larger families.Cleanliness

Lovely location
This is a lovely complex in a lovely setting. Very handy for getting around the island. Just a couple of things that would help, there is not enough comfortable seating for six adults, I did querie this before arriving but was told it was fine. They could also use some oven gloves as there is no handle for the grill pan. The rest of the house is done to a very high standard, and the beds are very comfortable.Cleanliness

Beautiful Location and facilities.
Overall we were delighted with the facilities and the location, it really does have a wow factor. The cottage was very lovely, however our retreat guests commented on the stairway needing a bit of a paint to freshen it up. Also we needed to unzip the king-size bed in the ensuite room as we needed it as a twin beds for our guests, there was a significant amount of dust and fluff, under and between the beds which we needed to hoover and sweep up. We also found bits of food snacks ( peanuts ) under the sofa cushions! Unfortuntley there was also a problem with the jacuzzi only working at half capacity which did effect some of the guests wanting to socialise together as we had a booking for all three cottages. However we would most defiantly book again.Cleanliness

Great place
This three bedroom barn conversion is set in beautiful countryside and is very comfortable. We even enjoyed a dip in the hot tub. The standard of cleanliness was good overall but one of the waste baskets had not been emptied from the previous guests. Only one tea towel was provided, so a few more would be appreciated. Would definitely recommend this property to others.Cleanliness

Wonderful accommodation especially for a large group
We booked all 3 accommodations as we were staying with relatives. It was great to be able to open up the interconnecting doors so that we could use it as one house when needed and close them off when we didnt. The accommodation was spotless and well equipped. The added bonus of the gym was also great. Would definitely stay again!Cleanliness

Perfect staycation
We stayed at Ballacallin Court over the Christmas break for 5 days and occupied all 3 cottages which was perfect for our family break. As the cottages all have interleading doors, the set-up was absolutely perfect. The cottages are very well equipped, modern and comfortable, the gym & spa facility is an added bonus. The view from the cottages is beautiful and instantly relaxing. The service we receive from Island Escapes as well as the on-site owners was amazing. The little touches such as bread, milk, cheese and butter in the cottage kitchens was really lovely. We had a wonderful time at Ballacallin and I would highly recommend booking a stay there :)Cleanliness

A very enjoyable week
After such a long period of restrictions here in the north of England and being prohibited from visiting our daughter, her husband and our grandchildren for 16 months we needed this holiday to be fabulous and it was. The property and the location are beautiful. Our party comprised 4 adults and 2 under 5's and our only slight negative was that as the kitchen and living room were upstairs, we could have done with a safety gate at the top of the wooden staircase. That aside we could hardly fault the place.Cleanliness

Lovely weekend break
We had a great weekend at The Hawthorns. Very homely, lovely views and Island Escapes were on hand with a question we had about some missing supplies which they were able to rectify. Booking in for the spa was simple enough and the facilities there were spot on. The only feedback I would have is that there are a fair few cobwebs around the beams and ceilings that could do with a sweep! Other than that, a brilliant time had all round and would definitely recommend!Cleanliness

APeeling
We had the opportunity to visit the Isle of Man fro Guernsey due to an airbridge created during the Coronavirus pandemic - this enabled direct travel between the islands. We enjoyed our stay at The Hawthorns. Jane and David were very welcoming. The small spa and gym was a welcome addition - especially as the weather can be iffy. Although out in the sticks it was only about 5 minutes drive to Peel. We picked this area as its easy to get to Ramsay in the North and Castletown/Port Erin in the South. Hope to visit again sometime.Cleanliness
