Great Holiday
Perfect location, in quiet cul de sac, in beautiful Port Erin. A great base for exploring the island. Clean and well presented, we only had one small problem which was dealt with immediately. Would definitely recommend

A reasonable place to stay
Not quite 4 star but comfortable and everything worked. The cutlery could do with replacing (especially teaspoons) and we had to search for a bedside cabinet for the double bedroom (found in a cupboard).

Perfect spot for a relaxing holiday
A comfortable holiday home in a good location. It provided all we needed for our holiday. Comfortable beds and comfortable lounge, but would suggest another chair rather than a bed acting as seating. The kitchen was well equipped and as shops are in walking distance, the fridge/freezer was adequate for our needs. The bathroom and en suite were both absolutely fine although the en suite is not of a generous size it had everything needed. We did not use the TV at all in 2 weeks so don't know about reception. Overall, we found the bungalow gave us all we wanted and we had a really good holiday.

Spacious well equipped house in a fab location
What a gem! A lovely bungalow with everything we needed for a lovely family holiday. Having two bathrooms was a bonus. The garden room at the back would have been good for older children but ours were too young to use the dartboard safely. The rooms were all spacious with plenty of room at the dining table and relaxing in the lounge. We appreciated the equipment available to borrow, like camping chairs and boogie boards. The welcome pack of bread, butter, cheese, milk, tea and coffee was indeed very welcome. The location is amazing. A quiet cul de sac within 10 minutes walk of beautiful Port Erin beach, the rail station, bus stop and town centre shops.

Fantastic location
Loved the location. Great cleanliness and really well equipped kitchen. Although the property is listed as having a tumble dryer we couldn't find that. There were a few maintenance issues, some mould needs dealing with in the ensuite bathroom and the patio door isn't working properly. he'shed

Family residence in ideal location near beach and shops
Great location and a lovely little house. Well presented on the inside. Fantastic little touches like Manx butter, bread and biscuits upon arrival. There are some areas for improvement, such as a drains smell in ensuite (masked a bit by some air fresheners), cobwebs around ceiling and external cobwebs all around windows (and subsequently quite a few spiders we had to remove) and little things like the absence of oven gloves. But all easily fixable. Overall, our family loved it there and it served us really well for our 10 day stay. Recommended.

Comfortable, quiet and central
We really enjoyed our stay. The bungalow is in great condition, with comfy furniture, great bathrooms and a well stocked set of kitchen items. It is in a quiet, residential area - not a great choice if you're looking for somewhere to host a noisy party (we weren't). The house is a 5 min walk from the seafront and the shops too. All in all, a great house in a lovely part of the island. If we were going to quibble, the TV needs replacing with something that will run off the WiFi rather than having to rely on the patchy aerial reception and a washing line would have helped, rather than just relying on the drying rack that was supplied. But we loved the house and recommend it really highly.

A nice bungalow
The bungalow was nice and plenty of space the only thing that would of made a bit better was to have a dishwasher. When we arrived we had been left a welcome pack of bread, milk, cheese, butter and enough tea and coffee to get us through until the following day when we could go shopping. The bedding and towels were clean and white . So all in all a very Pleasant place to stay .

A lovely week at Links Close
The house was lovely and the location excellent, particularly for coastal walking. Port Erin is a lovely little town and the steam train is a real treat. Excellent chippy and cafe nearby. We had a wonderful week.
