We really enjoyed our stay, lovely area with good places to eat. The garrison in castle Douglas and the forge grill a short drive away were particularly good.

Nice cottage, loved the bedroom & bathroom esp. Quiet setting, just 8 mins walk to the square.Kitchen a bit cramped, some things downstairs felt a bit tired, esp the cooker.A bit annoyed to have to buy a roll of bin liners for 2 bags. PARKING WAS DEFINITELY A CONCERN. Had to park badly Sunday evening, then rush out early next morning.

Curlew cottage is perfectly situated for easy access to Castletown on foot or in vehicles/motorbikes for trips out. It is tiny inside but for 1 person it was fine. Bed and en-suite upstairs all comfortable and warm. Kitchen had everything I needed. I didnt go out to the garden but it was covered in what looks like artificial grass and the garden chairs were rusty. Not what I would expect from a holiday home as Island Escapes have very high standards. The sitting room could do with a side table to put drinks on when relaxing car parking very tricky too as no spaces close to the cottage if you have heavy luggage. I probably wouldnt stay in that particular cottage again but it was ok for the week I was there for the S100 racing.

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 isnt in this part of the island. Its a Nice and quiet place to stay.

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!

Great location. Flaky peeling paint on walls. Lumpy pillows.Buildup of dust behind bedside table.Fridge wobbly. Comfy sofa.Lovely fireplace.

We enjoyed our stay but did find:Pillow lumpyNo mattress coverDownstairs cold in evening no heating onThe bathroom was excellentPlenty of hot waterKitchen fineGarden appears neglectedWe would come again to this property as we loved its compact size and location.

May 2023The 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.

Curlew cottage was really cosy and comfortable, a gorgeous little space done excellently. It was in a perfect part of Castletown and Id definitely stay again.

Enjoyed our stay at Curlew Cottage as it was very convienent for visting family on the island . Very well equiped and comfortable .Near the local shops and lots of lovely places to explore near by.Compact ,but had everything we needed , I would definitly stay there again

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.

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.

Everything about my stay was perfect. Thank you so much for the amazing accommodation that you are providing

I loved it from start to finish, John was so helpful in finding me suitable accommodation. The cottage was perfect for my needs.

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

We have just had a lovely relaxing few days in Castletown at the Curlew Cottage which is so conveniently situated for some lovely restaurants and fantastic walks. Highly recommend.

Ideal base for exploring the south of the islandComfortable accommodation and the facilities of Castletown are ideal.
