Wisteria Cottage is a self-catering holiday cottage in a wonderfully rural location on a farm in the north of the Isle of Man. In the surrounding area is an expanse of farmland providing the perfect scenery to truly relax and unwind in the great outdoors!

The property is set in lovely gardens and woodland, complete with a small lake. The farm is mostly arable and includes 2.5 acres of lavender and a newly planted cider apple orchard where we are growing cider apples for Isle of Cider. The wonderful local dairy, Aalin Dairy, keeps some calves and cows on the farm during spring and summer. Take a walk around and lose yourself in the many acres of land that the cottage sits within. There is an abundance of flora surrounding Wisteria Cottage and a dawn walk to listen to the birdsong is quite magical. The beautiful walled garden in the grounds is for your exclusive private use, a real suntrap or place to look at the stars! The farmhouse is across the green from Wisteria cottage and the farmers will be glad to help if you need anything and glad to give you a friendly wave if you don’t!

If nature is your thing then you have to explore The Ayres National Nature Reserve, a 15 minute drive away. A quirky part of the island to visit that's also protected is Ballaugh Curraghs wetlands, home to a unique colony of wild, but shy, wallabies descended from previous escapees from the Wildlife Park.

The cottage is extremely fortunate to be in an area where several species of bat were identified during a recent bat survey. You may be lucky enough to see them at dusk or even hear bat activity at night! The bats' summer roosts are normally active until mid September. You may see the wonderful little creatures emerge to search for flying insects at dusk, it’s fleeting but a lovely sight.

Inside Wisteria Cottage you will find a homely holiday cottage, providing comfortable accommodation for your visit! There are three bedrooms, a double with en-suite, a linked single room suitable for a child and a twin room with a further en-suite.

The nearby town of Ramsey has a great selection of shops, cafes and restaurants, a swimming pool, bowling alley and Golf Course. The Mooragh Park in Ramsey boasts a boating lake, childrens play area & splash park, outdoor bowling, tennis and cafe; it even provides outdoor exercising equipment. There are also two transport museums and a great go-karting facility in nearby Jurby.

Wisteria Cottage is proud to be Hard of Hearing Aware, and can offer a Deaf Guard Fire Alarm Warning System on request. Both orange and brown hearing aid batteries are supplied by the owners who live adjacent to Wisteria Cottage, they will be happy to provide the necessary information and equipment for you to use during your stay.

Children under 10 years of age must be supervised at all times by an adult during their stay at Wisteria Cottage due to the small lake located nearby and farm and garden machinery. We can welcome one non-shedding, friendly dog. There is a mix of livestock in adjoining fields so your dog will need to be under your control at all times. Confirmation of up to date flea treatment is needed please.
