We needed a break away from everything and this was perfect. Beautiful place to stay with plenty of walks nearby. We could chill and do nothing but listen to the birds and enjoy the “special spaces” Loved the little welcome pieces that John and Shirley scattered around. Close Taggart is a special place and we will be back.

This home is immacutely clean, the beds are high quailty and very comfortable, the linens, pillows - all are spot on for comfort and luxury. Every detail is thought of in the kitchen, and they left a lovely sourdough loaf with some milk and butter in the fridge. The decorations and attention to detail with how everything ties together is impressive. The art reflects style and the Isle of Man. If we could buy this home as is, with all the furnishings and decor, we would, 100%. All I can say it is amazing, and we were sad to leave. My 9 year old asked if we could stay at Cascadia House for the summer (and all summers coming, actually). We would love to if we could. Don't second guess the price, it's worth every pound :) Can't wait to stay at Cascadia House again, soon!

We’ve just had a 3 night staycation at Balladuke Farmhouse. We chose to stay at Balladuke for many reasons, the lovely location, handily placed for Port Erin beach, steam railway etc etc. On arrival we were met by the owner of the property who was very friendly and extremely welcoming. She was happy to chat about the history of this beautifully updated old farmhouse. The house itself is surprisingly spacious, very comfortable and well equipped. Our family group ranged in age from an almost 4 yr old boy to his 75yr Grandad. The fact that hay/silage was being turned during our stay was an added bonus for a tractor mad little boy. We are all happy to recommend Balladuke farmhouse to anyone looking for a lovely peaceful stay in the Manx countryside . We would thoroughly recommend using Island Escapes for a hassle free booking experience.
