A tranquil retreat in one of the most beautiful locations in the island
If you ever wanted a perfect escape on the island I would wholeheartedly recommend Elgin Retreat. Set in the beautiful surroundings of Maughold the accommodation, warm reception, little touches within and the facilities made this a memorable experience for myself and my wife. I would have no hesitation to recommend this retreat to anyone who needs that special break to relax and explore one of the most beautiful locations on the island.

Elgin Retreat - Pure Tranquillity
We arrived at Elgin Retreat for a short get a way for a birthday. On arrival we were blown away at how beautiful the property was and the surrounding area. From the beautiful stunning gardens to the hot tub and sauna. Not to forget the Elgin bar !! Lara and Adrian made the weekend personal with a warm welcome and homemade scones. All the little touches made the weekend special, from dry robes to snacks. It was a magical weekend that we enjoyed. Family have also booked to come in August and we will be booking again :-) Highly recommend this retreat. xx

An amazing stay at Elgin retreat.
Our stay was simply amazing here, the owners made us feel so welcome and relaxed and are amazing hosts. The house was so tidy and made us feel it was home from home, it has everything you need to have a comfortable stay a huge range of dvds, board games, a cosy fire for the night time, very comfortable bedding, all the essential kitchen equipment which made a huge difference for us. The location was fabulous in such a quiet location with great scenery. Although we didn’t use the sauna as we was busy with the TT week we did use the hot tub which was lovely to wake up to. Nothing was to much for Lara and Adrian and we really appreciate your kindness and a warm welcoming. We cannot wait to come back again in 2026 xx

Romantic perfect hideaway.
Beautiful accommodation set within a private countryside location, perfect for our honeymoon. The hosts were extremely helpful and friendly, leaving supplies on arrival (including homemade scones/cream/jam.) An excellent holiday resource.

Relaxing ‘Mini-Moon’
A huge thank you to Lara and Adrian for making us feel so welcome as soon as we arrived. We were having a staycation ‘mini-moon’ the week following our wedding and they had gone the extra mile. They made sure we made full use of the facilities and we had the most relaxing time! Perfect spot to escape!
