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.

Family Reunion / Isle of Man

This property was stunning! My husband and I and his 2 sisters were on the Isle of Man to see our daughter perform with her school orchestra. The home was perfect for us. Having 2 separate bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor and a primary suite with bath on the 3rd floor gave us all the privacy we needed. The house is immaculately clean, and beautifully appointed, tastefully decorated. The host was very responsive and easy to communicate with when we had trouble with the door code on arrival. Within minutes the problem was solved. The host left us fresh bread, butter and local jam, as well as tea, coffee and espresso. This is a 5 start property!

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.
