Description
Thie Spooyt is a refurbished and extended Manx cottage offering spacious holiday accommodation for up to six people, ideal for a family or group of friends.Finished to a high standard throughout, the cottage features a large kitchen and conservatory / living area which makes for a great socialising space complete with log burner for those chilly evenings. The kitchen has a Rangemaster oven and hob, large American style fridge freezer and breakfast bar. Moving through the house to the dining room, a large light open space with floor to high ceiling windows before reaching the main living room with a further log burner, comfortable seating for six and a large window for enjoying panoramic views to the north of the island and south west Scotland. Look out for wildlife or identify passing ships using the telescope set up for guests to enjoy! A large flatscreen smart TV provides entertainment for nights in.
The first floor features a master bedroom enjoying the same panoramic views as from the lounge, complete with en-suite bathroom. Two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom are contained within the original cottage, together with a small study complete with desk and chair.
Relax in the garden which provides a lovely suntrap, often sheltered from the elements, make use of the BBQ facilities, or enjoy sitting round the outdoor fire pit. The cottage is located in a great position for stargazing due to the low light pollution in the area, indeed the Isle of Man has 26 official dark sky stargazing locations dotted around the island in recognition of our dark skies.
The cottage is located a short distance from the Manx Electric Railway, watch the trams rumble past several times a day, and for a trip north to Ramsey or south to Laxey hop on at either Dreemskerry or Lewaigue tram stops which are 5 minutes walk from the cottage in either direction. The harbour town of Ramsey is little more than 5 minutes drive from the cottage. Close by you'll also find The Venture Centre, an outdoor activity centre offering many activities including kayaking, archery and coasteering.

A wonderful winter escape
Thie Spooyt is the perfect holiday home, and especially in winter! It is warm and inviting with wood burning stoves in the two main living areas and a plentiful supply of logs. At night the twinkling lights of the Point of Ayre lighthouse light up the horizon. This house is very cosy with everything you need for an enjoyable stay and we all slept very well. The cleanliness was excellent and the experience is exactly what youd expect from Island Escapes.Cleanliness

Fabulous weekend break
Stunning property in a fabulous location which enjoys stunning views. Everything you could need for a comfortable stay is available. The property is very tastefully appointed with lots of personal touches that make it feel welcoming and homely. We stayed for 3 nights for a family wedding but could have happily stayed for much longer. We will definitely return xCleanliness

The view!
We had a fab stay at Thie Spooyt. This is a must stay for Islanders and visitors too - the views are simply oustanding from every part of the property! The only problem (hahaha).... you must allow much more time than normal to drink a cup of tea in bed in the morning.... you just can't drag yourself away from the view ( particularly from the master bedroom)!! Plan on being late for everything or just spend the whole time lazing around in the beautiful garden or sitting spaces - inside or out. A truly magical spot!Cleanliness

Home away from home
One of the best accomodations if not the best that we had. This accommodation was perfect for our small family. The place was neat and tidy, the garden was perfect spot for our family to chill while the kids played around. Morning view from the main bedroom was amazing! Our little one and my husband always look forward to see the train pass by in the field. Not to mention, there were those lovely cows who always a delight to see all day. In short, this was a home away from home, we had a very peaceful and relaxing stay. We would surely come back, we still have a lot of activities to do in the island. Thank you Island Escapes for making our stay unforgettable xCleanliness

Wonderful stay
A beautiful house in the gorgeous countryside, completely modernised, with a generous garden and far fetching sea view. Loved spending time by the fire pit watching the farm animals in the distance and listening to the stream gently trickling by. All the instructions are super easy to follow, plenty leaflets about local attractions, had a absolutely wonderful stay. Definitely would love to return in the future.Cleanliness

Wonderful Stay
A beautiful modern cottage. Very well maintained and serviced in an excellent location with beautiful views. Wish we had booked it for a longer period of time and it would have been a bit cheaper for us to afford it for few more days. When I will ever visit IOM again I will definitely make sure I stay here. No negatives on this stay.Cleanliness
