Mariners House - a holiday cottage that sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms

Mariners House provides everything you could want from a family holiday home by the sea. The property has been recently refurbished with great care throughout and provides ample room for a group of six looking to enjoy a break on the Isle of Man.

The house contains a spacious open plan lounge and dining area, with well equipped kitchen adjoining. Or sit and enjoy an evening drink in the outside seating area. Upstairs you'll find a master bedroom and ensuite, complete with king size bed, a further king size double room and a twin room. A separate shower room provides enough facilities for a large group. The property is very much family friendly and comes equipped with a range of games, from board games through to rounders!

Laxey beach is a firm favourite with locals and visitors alike, from the two front double bedrooms you can look out and watch the kayakers, paddleboarders and sea swimmers take to the water in the summer months, and in the winter simply enjoy watching the waves roll in! Just a couple of minutes walk from the doorstep at the end of Laxey Promenade is The Shed – one of the go-to destinations on the Island for coffee and cakes, with comfy outdoor seating and plenty of throws and blankets to keep any chill away!

For larger groups Glevum is located immediately in front of Mariners House, and also sleeps 6 which also makes it a great alternative.

Loved our return visit
Back for a second visit to Mariner's House. It's a really lovely base for a stay in the Isle of Man. Perfect location on the promenade. The house is kept at a beautiful standard, has everything you need and then some. Always recommend. Hopefully we'll be back.

A few days in Laxey
Wonderful cottage, and so handy and close to the beach. Parking is limited. It could do with a permit for the main car park.

A great time
We had a wonderful weekend at this property. The house is spotless, warm and was very well equipped. My only gripe was that a more detailed inventory would be have handy, for example there was a Nespresso machine in the kitchen but no mention of it anywhere and I wouldn't have taken mine if I knew.

A wonderful holiday home in a lovely village
Mariners House is comfortable cosy and very clean.It is beautifully decorated with comfy seating and beds.The location is perfect next to the lovely safe Sandy beach.Everything you could need for a holiday is provided and we appreciated the beach towels as some of the group went for early swims.We have been to many self catering properties and would have to rate this as one of the best.The service from Island Escapes was also great -friendly prompt and very helpful.We are already planning our next visit !

Accommodation for Grand Fondo
Wow wow wow.. what a lovely house. We had a lovely stay at Mariner’s house from start to finish, very clean, bright and comfortable. The kitchen has everything you need should you wish to make your own food. There are plenty of games, books and even a cocktail making set. There are also children’s toys including items to use on the beach. I can’t recommend this house enough. We will certainly be paying it another visit.

Family Reunion
Loved Mariners House - great location and great amenities. Lovely views from the Binocular Chair on the top floor. Remember your coffee pods if you have a Nespresso Machine. Lovely and cosy, could have stayed longer. Loved the proximity to the beach, the cafe, The Shed (fantastic) and Mona Lisa, never managed to The Shore - but next time. Thank you for the Welcome pack, much appreciated. Would happily return and recommend, dog loved the beach and all the walks around Laxey. Thank you!

Beautiful and cosy in perfect location ☀️
We arrived late in the evening and was greeted by the smell of a nice clean and newly decorated house. There was tea coffe bread, milk and butter for our first breakfast, how wonderful. The bed and bathrooms are tastefully decorated and have everything you need as does the rest of the house. We have had a wonderful stay, the weather has been absolutely gorgeous. The sea is just outside the property and we have taken full advantage we highly recommend this home from home holiday let. 5***** from Lone and Nick plus two very happy Bull Terriers. Thank you.

Summer holiday
The location is wonderful, we’ve hardly used our car all week. The parking provided is very tight… only really suitable for small cars. The cottage was airless and humid when we arrived which has taken most of the week to improve. The cottage could be cleaner, it had dog hairs in all rooms and the living room (and sofas) smelled very doggy. The cottage is really well equipped although a washing line would be useful!

A perfect place
Our second visit to Mariners House. Vixen for its great location at Old laxey, the decor, furnishings and layout were wonderful especially the chair looking out over the sea on the to floor. Cannot fault the place or the company

Wonderful holiday home
What a lovely house, so close to the beach, our dog loved it. Mona Lisa Italian restaurant is just s short walk as is Shore Hotel. Both super. No shops in walking distance. This didn't worry us at all. Basin in top floor bathroom and bathriom off 1st floor landing were tiny. Too small to wash your face. Otherwise all excellent. Highly recommend. Extremely well equipped eg hairdryer in each bedroom. Thank yoi

Delightful property and location
We had every high class comfort on the inside of the cottage and all the amenities we needed on the outside for us and our 2 dogs. We totally recommend this property. Our only drop on the stars was a degree of nervousness about no blinds at the bathroom windows when the neighbours behind could see in every time they walked past. Also the WiFi and tv dropped out on a regular basis. Not a game changer but frustrating at times.

Beautifully maintained and equipped property in a perfect location. Like having your own 5star beach hut within a stones throw of the beach.

The wonderful Isle of Man
Excellent property and location, to explore this interesting Island and meet the Manx people. So much history, trains and each town has its own personality.

Nice property
Lovely property in a good spot in Laxey although it is overlooked at the back (yard isn’t very big either) and a house in front of it. Only parking for 1 car right outside the property and a bit tight as on the street, plenty of parking over on the seafront through. As with another property I recently staying in with island escapes there are no curtains just blinds so would recommend bringing eye cover for sleep! Nice size lounge WiFi was a bit dodgy whilst I was there, kitchen a little on small side for the size of the house but still good enough, master bedroom and bathroom were gorgeous. No telly in bedroom as per another property I stayed in through island escapes not sure if this is just through all their properties but did miss having telly in bed! All in all a nice place in a good location but it is about 20/30 min walk to the closest shop.

Lovely house, lovely location
Lovely House in a great location. Party of 4 adults 1 child, plenty of room for us all. On arrival everything was ready and clean. Laxey is a quiet part of IOM this is what we wanted. Easy access to beach and Harbour (few minutes walk) Unfortunately Laxey Wheel was still under restoration so couldn't climb to the top! Well stocked Kitchen, more than enough of everything Toys and Games including beach toys Comfy lounge area Comfy bedrooms Would come again.
