The cottages are set in a beautiful hillside location, overlooking a picturesque wooded glen that boasts its own miniature steam railway. Beyond the glen the cottages are privy to panoramic views, both inland and out to sea, and yet are located just three miles from the Island's capital, Douglas, where you will find plenty of amenities.
The bus and electric tram stops for services to Douglas, Laxey and further afield are just across the road from the cottages. The timetables are available in Reception.
