About this property

Ellan Vannin - sleeps 5 guests in 3 bedrooms

Ellan Vannin is one of a collection of refurbished listed buildings in an historic area of Castletown in the south of the Isle of Man. Adjoining the Bailey Scott designed former Police station and right next to Castle Rushen, a medieval castle once the home to the Kings and Lords of Mann the area is steeped in history. Overlooking the harbour and waterfront, cross over the footbridge in front of the property and you'll find the Nautical museum. Uncover the story of the inventive George Quayle and his most significant surviving creation Peggy, the earliest known example of a British armed yacht.

Ellan Vannin has been lovingly refurbished to a very high standard, with 3 bedrooms and a comfortable open plan lounge and dining area providing a great space for socialising and entertaining. A rooftop terrace (with outdoor heater) overlooking the harbour and castle provides a welcome spot to enjoy a drink or two whilst watching the world go by. Next door is Packet House, which sleeps 4 so could be booked together for a larger group.

Castletown is a great base for a holiday, just 5 minutes from the airport and with a wide range of bars, restaurants and cafes close by. The historic Steam Railway runs through the town connecting it with the islands capital, Douglas and the seaside villages of Port Erin and Port St Mary.

Convenient and comfortable

Great support with booking ang arranging visit. The house was perfect - very high spec, bright, light and comfortable. A five minute walk from family we were visiting. It was a great base from which to visit our childhood home. The Island Escape team were very responsive and helpful.

Very impressed, excellent all round.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Ellan Vannin, great location and a lovely house. Booking it with Island Escapes was very easy and they were friendly and helpful throughout. They were close by in Castletown and we had to call in on the first day as we couldn’t find a hairdryer, and as it had EVERYTHING else we thought it odd. Unfortunately someone from previous visits had taken all of them ! This was very quickly rectified by the helpful staff who went out and bought a new one, and put it in the house for us. I think a previous review mentioned that a coat stand would be a great addition in the hall, we agree that it would. We loved the house and would have no hesitation in booking it again. And if we chose a different location we would certainly book with Island Escapes.

Visit for a wedding.

Myself and some family members stayed here for 5 nights for my daughters wedding. The house is stunning. Spotlessly clean and lovely comfy beds. Lots of room for everyone. The location right on the harbour front is perfect. Castletown is a lovely small town with easy access to other parts of the island. The steam train even stops there. My daughter got married in the castle just 2 minutes away, so absolutely perfect for my family.

Great stay in IOM - great value

Excellent property, and office just around the corner for instant help with things. If I were the owner I would sort out the TV (ie get a new and better one - see Consumer association best buys!) as viewing normal TV is fiddly and clunky and not up to the standard of the rest of the property.
