About this property

Keys Cottage - a holiday cottage that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

Originally a part of the Old House of Keys, the historic former home of Manx politics, Keys Cottage is one of a collection of listed buildings in an historic area of Castletown in the south of the Isle of Man. Beautifully refurbished to a high standard, guests can expect a luxurious experience.

The tasteful combination of modern features such as motorised Velux windows while original features like the exposed wooden beams ensures the retention of its heritage. Stylish furnishings bring it all together to provide a naturally homely feeling to this property.

Sleeping four across two double bedrooms, a double sofa bed can also be made up on request in the upstairs lobby area to allow the property to sleep 6 people. It's perfect for a small group to explore the south of the island. If part of a larger group, book with either Ellan Vannin or Packet House which are just around the corner.

The comfortable open plan living area contains a well-equipped kitchen that extends through to the living area, which benefits from natural light provided by the overhead windows and the added cosiness of a log burner.

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.

After a rather rough ferry crossing we arrived into Keys Cottage. What an absolute treat. The property is furnished to a really high standard, laid out well with everything you might need, and was clean and ready for our stay. Really enjoyed meeting some of the friendly staff in the Island Escapes office which is just around the corner from the cottage. I would thoroughly recommend a stay in the wonderful cottage.

Fantastic luxury accommodation

By far the best holiday accommodation we’ve ever stayed in. The house interior has a really high end finish, every aspect has been thoroughly thought through. The beds were extremely comfortable and the living space is great. We instantly felt relaxed inside the house. The location is also lovely, we ate in the George pub and had a game of table tennis and played out in the square with our son. I had to pop into the Island Escapes office for something and they were super friendly and very accommodating. All in all an absolutely perfect stay for our short break, we will definitely be coming back

A Delightful Stay at Keys Cottage, Castletown!

Our family knew we were in for a memorable stay when we arrived at Keys Cottage. The cottage exuded warmth, comfort, and a charming nostalgia that immediately won us over. As a family of four, including two adults and two children, we found the accommodation spacious and cosy. The attention to detail at Keys Cottage was impressive. Every nook and cranny had been thoughtfully planned to ensure a hassle-free stay for guests, from the carefully curated decor to the well-appointed amenities. After our exciting adventures each day, we looked forward to returning to the cottage, which felt like our home away from home. One of the highlights of our stay was the unbeatable central location of Keys Cottage. Everything we wanted to explore was within easy reach, making our adventures even more enjoyable. We were lucky enough to be in town during the Castletown Confetti Festival, an incredible experience for our children. The air was full of excitement, laughter, and vibrant colours as confetti filled the sky. We also loved that Castle Rushen was just a stone's throw away from our doorstep. We enjoyed wandering through the historic corridors, soaking up the stories of the past. It felt like we had travelled back in time, and our children were thrilled by the experience. Overall, our stay at Keys Cottage was genuinely magical. It offered the perfect combination of comfort, convenience, and cultural charm. Suppose you're considering a family trip to Castletown. In that case, we highly recommend Keys Cottage for an authentic and delightful experience. We can't wait to return!

Excellent location

We really enjoyed our stay at this a very spacious and comfortable cottage. The fittings and equipment are very modern and top quality. Best of all is the location right in the centre of Castletown. All the facilities of the town are only a short walk away. The railway station was a bit further. The available parking spaces are very close by. The Island Escapes team were really helpful during our stay.
