About this property

Idyllic Rural Cottage with great panoramic views - 5 min from Laxey

Our house is located in the beautiful village of Agneash, in a peaceful and relaxing location, a mile from Laxey (as featured in the Julia Bradbury Britain's Best Walks programme). It is full of local character. We enjoy wonderful views over Snaefell and Laxey. It is located just below the only mountain on the island and offers great walks. There is no light pollution and the sky offers a different stargazing spectacle every night. You are guaranteed a quiet night sleep and it is extremely safe. The ideal location to unwind, unplug, reset, connect with nature... whilst only being 1.5 mile from the beach and a 20 minutes' drive to the city of Douglas. Please note that we (the owners) live on the premises. We are a Visit Isle of Man registered property (nº 655090).

Agneash is a beautiful place and Sylvie and Ants home is a warm and welcoming place to stay. Even though you share their home you hardly notice they are there, when you did see them they are such a lovely couple and very attentive. I would like to thank them for a lovely stay and we (4 adults and 2 dogs) would definitely come back to agneash.

We really enjoyed our stay with Silvie & Anthony. The beds were very comfortable and we were made to feel very welcome by Silvie and Anthony. Although they live in the house we could use the kitchen and a separate dining area, lounge and bathroom was available for us to use The location is stunning and we were very lucky to have lovely weather during our stay. We would definitely consider staying there again.

Perfect home from home

We had a wonderful week in Agneash thanks to Sylvie and Anthony's friendly hospitality, help and information about all the island has to offer. This is the perfect place for a peaceful and quiet getaway but close to Laxey with its world famous waterwheel, electric team connections and lovely beach.

A very peaceful place.

We really enjoyed our time staying with Ant and Sylvie. Their property is very big and we had our own wing. We chatted every day with Ant and Sylvie about attractions in the area and found them both very helpful. The location is beautiful and quiet. A wonderful retreat but within a short drive of the many tourist attractions on the island.

Laxey Stay

The property was very nice and well positioned to explore the island. The hosts were very helpful and informative. However, on booking it was not made obvious we would be sharing the property with the owners. The holiday was great.

Beautiful surroundings

The property suited are needs down to the ground, did not have any issues at all. Although it is a shared house we had no issues at all because we realised that before booking. The owners are lovely people and we were so lucky to meet them and have a lovely chat each day. Very homely place, very clean and home from home, would stay again without a problem

This is NOT a holiday cottage. It is a B&B.

The owners are not just on-site, they are living in the property and sharing with you! The only privacy is your own bedroom. Other bedrooms may be let out as B&B stays. The position of the accomodation is good and the owners very nice people but the listing needs to be changed to B&B. They are not geared up to self-catering.no kitchen cupboard space and just one shelf in the fridge!

Quiet, well equipped cottage with lovely hosts

Had a lovely few days in beautiful surroundings. Accurate description but there are one or two accessibility issues to be considered for older guests. Wobbly steps to enter, stairs to bedrooms and bathroom straightforward but access between bedroom 1 and guest only bathroom has trip hazards.

Great Holiday

Lovely property with great facilities, comfy beds, the hosts were so accommodating and such a lovely, friendly couple with great knowledge of the island and just for a general chit chat. I must admit I was a little surprised when we first landed to discover the hosts actually live in the property, with a bed and breakfast service - some facitlites are shared with the hosts, mainly the kitchen and dining areas. We did have our own cosy lounge with TV and separate stairs to our bedrooms and bathroom. And you are able to cook your own meals if you so desire. A continental style breakfast was provided and excellent choices available with the opportunity to use the kitchen facilities for a cooked breakfast if you want to. Once we settled into the property we had a fabulous and very relaxing holiday with superb hosts and facilities. Thank you Sylvie and Anthony for helping us enjoy our first trip to the Isle of Mann

B&B not cottage

Please note you are booking a B&B not a house/cottage, this would have been ok if we had not had our 3 dogs with us - one of which is very nervous of strangers. On arrival we soon realised that the layout and set up of the property would not work for us which was a great shame as the property owners appeared very nice and the area stunning. I believe the property description is misleading and should be corrected. Expensive lesson learned to check details more thoroughly!
