Quay Cottage - a holiday cottage that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

Quay Cottage is a beautifully refurbished fishermans cottage overlooking the picturesque harbour of Port St Mary, a fishing village in the south of the Isle of Man.

The holiday cottage benefits from two cosy en-suite bedrooms, charming living space with electric stove and a small but very well appointed galley style kitchen. The property is located a stones throw from the shoreline and boasts views across the quaint working harbour and down the coast towards Castletown and the Langness peninsula. The Raad Ny Foillan coastal footpath runs past the front door, luring you in to over 90 miles of our breathtaking coastline and rolling hills.

The small and welcoming community of Port St Mary also contains some small independent shops, cafes, restaurants and a friendly harbourside pub.

Whether you prefer to head out and explore or put your feet up and watch the world go by, Quay Cottage is the perfect place for a memorable self catering holiday retreat in the Isle of Man.

A weeks stay in a great cottage
We booked Quay Cottage to attend the American Car Extravaganza. On arrival we were delighted with Quay Cottage which is warm and inviting with a great view of the adjoining harbour. It is very well equipped and comfortable.

Great location on the harbour
We've stayed a few times in this pretty little cottage on the Harbour at Port St Mary. It's quite small for 4 people but the location makes it worth it. Love waking up to the gorgeous view of the harbour and ideally located for seeing our family who all live in the village. Would highly recommend.

Ideal location with beautiful views
Lovely 3 storey cottage overlooking the harbour. Very well presented with 2 en-suite bedrooms and the living area on the middle floor. This cottage is right on the harbourside and in a quiet peaceful area. It has a parking space outside the front door. So lovely to have local produce as well as tea & biscuits provided. I highly recommend this accommodation.

Beautiful location. Fabulous place to stay.
Super easy instructions for property location and key access. Fantastic area to stay so beautiful even in the rain. Locals so friendly. Great coastal walks and local amenities. I even had to ask for help from the local Osteopath who was also super friendly and really helpful even though he was very busy.

Fantastic Harbour Views.
Beautifully presented throughout, Quay Cottage is an interesting place to stay. Views over the harbour and out to sea mean there’s a constantly changing view. The bedrooms and bathrooms are modern and spacious. The kitchen whilst well equipped is very narrow so not easy for more than one person to work in. The staircase to the living room is also extremely narrow making transporting your food upstairs ti the dining area a challenge.

Quay Cottage
This cosy old fisherman’s cottage enjoys an excellent location on the harbour at PSM being very convenient for local buses and starting point for local walks. It is well furnished and comfortable. The kitchen is quite small but well equipped. For those with mobility problems the narrow stairs would be a challenge and food and drink have to be carried upstairs.

Lovely harbourside retreat
We had a lovely few days at Quay Cottage. Beds were lovely and comfortable and galley kitchen was really well-stocked. The whole house was beautifully decorated and furnished and the views from the windows were wonderful. Bringing food up from the ground floor kitchen to the first floor dining table was a minor faff but we used a tray and not a crumb or drop was spilt. I had been a bit worried about the stairs as i do have a minor mobility problem but it was fine. The staircases aren't as wide as a standard staircase and they bend around a corner, but there are bannisters and places to rest your hand, and the steps are well-carpeted, well-lit and not slippy. In short, if you're planning to host elaborate dinner parties where you need to run to and from the kitchen all the time, perhaps you should choose somewhere else, but if you're after a beautiful, comfortable place to stay in a lovely location, Quay Cottage is perfect.

Holiday with friends
Beautiful property in lovely quiet location! Short walk to local shops and the local pub is close by too. The cottage is well equipped with all you need. If we had one complaint it was that there was little drawer storage space in the downstairs bedroom. Despite this, would we stay there again - most definitely yes!

Lovely Harbour Side Cottage
Everything was basically perfect, lovely views even in cold February. Welcome to the sound of seagulls! The cottage is well equipped and was very clean. Just be prepared for steep stairs & mind your head (which is made clear upfront). We got excellent take-away pizza’s from Andreas on the High Street, 5 minute walk away. Would definitely recommend

Quay Cottage short break
Excellent location to revisit Port St Mary. Village now lacks a family friendly pub but the views are as good as ever. Very narrow stairs to first floor but not an issue. Kitchen is small (as advertised). Some maintenance to windows and outdoor area required but minor end of season things. Will be certain to return.

More than we could have dreamt of!
We were all absolutely overwhelmed with this charming, beautiful property. From the moment we opened the door we were thrilled: from the fabulous harbour views, to the comfort of the cozy lounge, the cleanliness, design, attention to detail, welcome goodies and over all feeling of being thoroughly spoilt. It was more than we could have dreamt of, and I simply could not recommend a stay here highly enough. We will definitely be back. There was not a single thing we could fault. A triumph - an outstanding place, providing us with treasured memories that will last a lifetime.
