Its an old cottage with small rooms that has been improved but when you look round in detail there were cobwebs, paint work poor and finished badly, Windows would not open as painted shut? Fire hazard? No microwave although listed, the toilet is downstairs and the stairs are steep and fun negotiating! Place has a damp smell although they have had a water leak downstairs with the floor wet. Took us 1/2 hour to get the right channel on the tv working for the sky which only has basic channels. No room for a table to eat at so stuck to eating on the settee. front door key and locking a nightmare! Needs replacing as difficult to lock the door. Car parking fun in the dark as the space is small. However it is Well placed for walks and beach. The Bed is uncomfortable really needs a new mattress. Central heating keeps turning off via nest controller. Expensive for what you got.A lot of minor faults but on the whole a good place to stay!

A cozy and comfortable little cottage in a very peaceful, but convenient location on the island. No microwave, but otherwise well stocked little kitchen. We enjoyed our stay.

Lovely little cottage but unfortunately suffering from damp throughout especially in the shower room floor, door and walls. Any washing we did had to be re-washed when we returned home as it smelt damp. We wouldn't stay here again. Parking was tricky as well with a van

We found the modernised cottage very comfortable.Modern kitchen was easy to useNice shower room Large bath in the comfortable bedroomWhat a find with the gardenLovely place for a short break

the cottage is very comfy, clean, well equipped and cosy. Would high recommend staying here, its a unique little gem where you can switch off from the world and kick back & relax

Relaxing stay in a great location. The cottage has loads of cute decorative touches, the log burner was cosy, and the bath was lovely and deep. Would stay again - maybe in the summer next time to make full use of the fabulous garden.

Lovely little cottage, beautifully and sympathetically decorated with traditional and up cycled furniture and clever touches of home. Load of hot water, cosy and warm with quirky features such as the bath in the bedroom! Suited us perfectly, but if anybody has mobility issues or is over 6ft the bath/bedroom could be a problem, but this is clearly stated on the booking info.

Took a while to adjust to the size of the cottage but that is all part of the fun staying in an old cottage.Overall we had a good time and would come again.

We stayed for 5 days at Wyllin Cot. The location of the property, of only a five minute walk to Glen Wyllin beach was excellent to exercise our dog. The property is close to The Mitre pub for a drink, however they were not serving food, which was a shame. There is also a local convenience store in walking distance. Kirk Michael has easy access to public transport to all the islands towns. From previous reviews and the sales literature we were advised the cottage was small and quirky and it lived up to it. The owner has made great use of space in a small property but we have to agree it was a challenge. With the toilet downstairs but the bath being upstairs this proved awkward. The bath is also small and high sided. The kitchen has the oven inside a cupboard and the hob on a trolley. Also watch your head on the low beams. Overall an enjoyable stay on the island.

When my wife and I arrived at Wyllin Cot it became obvious that, especially in the downstairs living accommodation there were some rather odd arrangements.For a start, there was no table and chairs for use with meals. We were given instead, two foot square side tables! The bath (no shower) was in the bedroom and was just about big enough for use if you had your knees up around your chin! The bedroom had its own issues in the form of headroom as a result of a very low beam over the bed, which, if you failed to remember in the dark, resulted in a thump on the head.There were other things, which, given the cost of the accommodation could have been improved without denting the owners profit margin greatly!!!On the positive front, the property was in a good location for the races and Kirkmichael village (one pub!) and the garden, whilst across the road, was pleasant. We would not return to this property given our experiences there.

Quirky is right. The cooking arrangements are a little odd but fine for our weeks stay. If you can't manage steps, this isn't for you as the stairs are steep, and getting into and out of the bath requires a stool ! Having said that, would we return.. yes, most definitely, we loved our stay ??.

We had a great time at the lovely cottage, but unfortunately the heating and hot water went out multiple times. Called Island Escapes who quickly put me in touch with the maintenance team who walked me through how to fix myself (he had covid). Easy fix, but had to do this three more times myself throughout the stay as the pressure kept dropping and we had no heat or hot water. If this was resolved, it would have been 5s across the board.

We had a very enjoyable winter stay at this cottage, which made a good base for exploring the Island on the bus network (there is a stop on the main road, quite nearby). The cottage itself is small but cosy and we enjoyed the log burner and comfortable bathtub. There was a problem with the boiler while we were staying which was resolved with excellent service from Island Escapes.

What a gorgeous little cottage! Although the weather was against us, the cottage was so cosy to come back to after a day of adventures, the log burner had us toasty warm and comfortable in minutes! Wyllin Cott provided everything we could possibly need, the kitchen was well equipped, from potato peeler to coffee pod machine and the use of space was ingenious. We found the bedroom to be very comfortable, we took our 6 year old too who slept like a log in his little bed and particularly loved playing the board games provided in front of the fire while the wind was howling outside. We popped over to the lovely garden in our wellies and can imagine it would be gorgeous in the summer. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and have already recommended it to lots of people. Thanks for having us!

Quirky cottage which makes maximum use of limited space.Best way is to go with it - we did and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It wont be for everyone, especially those with limited mobility or if you enjoy a long shower - only option is sitting in the bath to wash.

Wyllin Cot is smaller than expected but the owners have been very clever in maximising space in a very tasteful way. High quality fixtures, fittings and decor add to the enjoyment of the cottage. The cottage will not suit everyone as highlighted in the provided information because of the tight spaces but we loved it because of the character and decor.

A quirky little cottage, perfect for any couple seeking a weekend break/ few days break in a lovely quiet location within easy walking distance of Kirk Michael Village, Glen Wyllin beach and surrounding countryside. The allocated parking area is tight (but manageable) for a medium sized SUV car, located facing out of the cottage diagonally to the left off the narrow access road. We really enjoyed our short stay and would readily recommend the cottage to any active couple.
