Good location with short distance to town square for shops and Hotel/ Food.
Small cottage on Mill Road, no parking outside. (Nearby roads can be used 5-10 minutes walk)
Ideal to experience a Manx cottage for 2 people.
Not very comfortable small double bed with lumpy pillows.
No electric shaver point in bathroom (Needed to request a 2 pin adaptor plug from office in Castletown)
Soft seats in lounge sofa.
Very well equipped kitchen appliances and tableware etc.
Garden overgrown - Weeds, needs maintenance.

Cottage centrally located in Castletown for access to amenities eg: shops , buses , steam railway and pubs .
Great atmosphere in and around the market square .
On the whole a comfortable stay but the owners should make more of the garden to further enhance the property .

Curlew Cottage is a nice, cozy, place to stay. It has all you need on a holiday and it is situated in a quiet Street. Castletown is a good place to stay, especially this week, with the Grand Prix, because the circuit isn’t in this part of the island. It’s a Nice and quiet place to stay.




The Perfect Place for a Couple to Stay for a Short Break in the Isle of Man!

Curlew Cottage was everything we hoped it would be! It was spotless, spacious and very comfortable! We had initially been concerned about the lack of parking but it proved to be no problem at all. And the private garden was perfect was sitting in in with a glass of wine in the evening!

We enjoyed our stay but did find:
Pillow lumpy
No mattress cover
Downstairs cold in evening no heating on
The bathroom was excellent
Plenty of hot water
Kitchen fine
Garden appears neglected
We would come again to this property as we loved its compact size and location.

The cottage is well equipped and a period cottage in a conservation area, well placed for the centre of Castletown and with a small private garden. It's roomy but the kitchen isn't built for team cooking! Parking needs to be a short walk away - the pay & display to the right behind Shoprite is currently 'not in use' so free parking but otherwise £1 overnight. Beware when stepping out your door - some cars pass at 30mph inches from the door. TV channels are very limited, wifi adequate. We loved it though and would cheerfully return. Staff were very helpful.

A lovely traditional cottage in a convenient location. It had everything we needed during our week in the Isle of Man. Staff in the office were friendly and helpful. Two small shops locally, and places to eat in the town.

Great location to visit family and friends. Plenty of local shops, cafes and pubs nearby. Parking is limited but we always found a spot close to the cottage. The cottage itself was compact, comfortable and full of character. Loved the local cat that visited through the bathroom window! Some upkeep to the back garden area is needed to create a more usable outdoor space. Overall we enjoyed our stay at Curlew Cottage, would definitely visit again.

A very cosy comfortable cottage within easy reach of most facilities. The stairs to the upper floor could be challenging for older guests care required when using them.

Tiny cottage, good location, parking difficult.
The garden could do with a bit of weeding & tidying up.

Great little cottage for two, has everything you need. In a quiet street in Castletown. Friendly, helpful locals has a good choice of restaurants and pubs. Local shops for self-catering.
Efficient bus service will take you throughout the Island. No need to use your car. Suggest you get a Travel Card especially if you plan to use the steam and electric Trains, great value. We would recommend this property and would return.

A lovely Manx cottage in a paved street. On entering cottage we were met with a damp, musty smell, luckily nice sunny day, so got the windows open to let fresh air inside. Boiler was not on, so no hot water etc. Eventually located boiler in cupboard in the bathroom, no mention of this in the handbook, All switched, off. Eventually got it going. Sofa has seen better days, well past its sell by date, very uncomfortable and very low. Double bed which was quite comfortable, but duvet much to small, just barely covered the top of the bed. Towels in bathroom were hard, and much too small. A lovely bathroom with bath and a walk in shower, and under floor heating, when we located switch, by accident. Nice little secluded garden which we sat in, in the sun, but needs attention, Lots of weeds and a great big weed growing in front of the shed. With some TLC the cottage is full of character and would make a lovely holiday destination for a single person or a couple who are fit enough to manage the narrow, steep stairs.

Thanks for your review, it was disappointing to hear you had a few issues. The boiler should have been on, but occasionally things do get switched off however we are always a phone call away and happy to help with any issues there and then. We are always looking to work with our owners to make improvements, your comments are much appreciated and we'll look to address these immediately with the owner. The garden issue has already been resolved.

Fab cottage perfect for two in a very quiet street. Two up/two down with a small but lovely garden, perfect for breakfast in the sunshine. Kitchen very well equipped. Only feedback is some of the furnishings are a little dated, TV is not Smart and mattress is not comfortable for those with bad backs! Still would recommend this cottage, perfect location and we loved our stay. Lovely local extras on arrival.

Thanks for your nice review, your comments on comfort will be taken on board with the owner. Hope to see you again.

Great time at cottage.
You may want to look at the roof as the ceiling paint in bedroom is peeling.
If you ever update the kitchen, you may want to look at a sink drainer as the water seem to go everywhere with the round sinks and worried that it may wet units. Move the washing machine if you can and put crockery in this space as more room to access it?
The Kettle seemed to pour very badly and splash, so had to be used over sink.
apart from that really enjoyed stay

Thanks for your review, just to let you know the bedroom ceiling has now been repainted and kettle replaced. We are always looking to work with our owners to make improvements and your comments are much appreciated.
