Good - 3.5 out of 5

On the whole a very...

Liked: Breakfasts were good but it took some time between the first and the second course - up to 20 minutes
Disliked: The sound insulation between the bedroom and the host's study is very poor and every word of telephone conversations could be heard.Traffic noise in the bedroom was noticeable as the building is right on the main road and not sure the windows were double glazed.

David and Judy are perfect...

Liked: The location was superb, 20 minutes from the ferry and the airport, being an upside down house the view from the lounge is stunning with a steam train passing through the station 5 minutes walk away so it goes by the bottom of the garden, going into Douglas several times a day so you can leave your car at home, also the sea is in view and has cruise ships passing, there’s a bus stop right outside, all the facilities you need The continental breakfast was very good and plenty of it ,,
Disliked: It’s not what could be better, more of something to be aware of , the cottage is beautiful but the downstairs is original and very old so the doors to the bedroom and bathroom are extremely low, if you’re over 5 feet 6 inches tall you will hit your head ,,, and this could be an issue, I was ok but hubby is over 6 feet so had to be very aware,, the added bonus is having a private entrance to the property so it feels like home from home and a parking space on the premises, a very welcome bonus, David also provided us with a parking card and explained how they work, all in all we had a wonderful experience with David and Judy and we wish them every success for their future, Val and Chris from Peterborough , our 1st experience of the Isle of Man

Superb

Liked: Everything!
Disliked: One drawback for us was the fact that there was no shower. Not very clear in the information but we thought we would risk it. So glad we did though.

We had a very pleasant...

Liked: The breakfast was ample for us. We could have had a cooked breakfast but chose not to as there was enough of the continental breakfast to satisfy us. Also, very happy that the hosts were able to provide gluten free options.
Disliked: There was nothing we would have changed, we were happy with everything on offer.

Perfect location for us to...

Liked: Everything and more. Did not expect a full cottage as such. Whole of the upstairs as the living/dining room then downstairs bedroom and separate bathroom.
Disliked: Nothing negative about the stay.

Isle of Man...a very pleasant...

Liked: It was a short and pleasant drive from the port, at Douglas, to Ballavere Cottage in Colby. We were greeted on arrival by our smiling host David, who even carried our bags into the cottage. We parked on the property's driveway, which is big enough to accommodate the largest of cars and it felt safe and secure. David gave us a full tour of the cottage and explained everything in detail so that our stay would be a relaxing and enjoyable one. The cottage is idyllic, with all its original features restored and looking magnificent. The bedroom was splendid and the bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was large and the freestanding clawed foot bath was glorious... much more preferable than a shower cubicle and in keeping with the cottage we felt. Up the central staircase led us to the large open-plan dining area and sitting room. A bright and airy space,with its original beams and a gorgeous wooden dining table and cupboards to one end and a large sitting area and Tv at the other. From here, you can view the Cottages gorgeous garden and the open fields beyond. We even saw a steam locomotive pass by at the end of the field..an absolute delight!David's knowledge of the island and places to visit was invaluable...in fact it was his recommendations which made our first visit to this beautiful island, even more special.
Disliked: Nothing!

Loved it, beautiful atmosphere close...

Liked: Everything, the host David and Judy are the most gorgeous couple and their beautiful little b & b is just the best.
Disliked: Nothing really, for me I like a softer bed but not a big deal breaker.

Tasteful cottage for two.

Liked: Attentive and quite knowledgeable host. It was a pleasure to meet David and hear his life stories. There was a good selection of coffee, tea and tasteful fruit to enjoy at anytime of the day. We also had a delicious breakfast every morning.
Disliked: Every corner of the house was exquisite and, in many ways, home from home for us. We would have just liked to have a conventional shower, in addition to the gorgeous bath.
