Duxbury Cottage
Duxbury Cottage is a renovated and well-appointed rural barn conversion minutes away from lush plantations, mountain bike trails and the south coast of the Isle of Man.
Formerly named 'Kingsley Cottage', this self-catering accommodation is based on a single level and sleeps 4 people between 2 bedrooms. It's an ideal choice for a small family or some friends. Both bedrooms have access to the paved outdoor area where you can sit on the outdoor furniture and bask in the sun on a summer's day.
On entrance, guests are greeted by a spacious living area with a double-height ceiling stretching all of the way up to the exposed wooden beams in the loft space. Velux windows flood this area with natural light.
Duxbury Cottage is superbly located, overlooking the south of the island from the Ballamodha Straight. This is a great vantage point to experience panoramic sunsets as the sun dips behind the distant hills. The cottage is conveniently situated nearby to Silverdale Glen, Rushen Abbey and Castle Rushen, in the island's ancient capital, Castletown.
For guests with dogs, an enclosed field of approximately four acres is available right next to the property for off-lead exercise. Access is free of charge but must be requested during the booking process.
South Barrule plantation is minutes away, where you can walk your dog, adventure on quad bikes, play outdoor laser tag or walk amongst the trees on a high line obstacle course! You can also find purpose-built mountain bike trails in the plantation. Stumble upon the cosy Coffee Cottage, who serve food and drink in front of a log burner to keep you nice and toasty!

Mr Kentfield
Unfortunately our holiday at this property did nothing t meet our expectations, we had builders next to us on the property owners land , we got woken up at 8 am every morning by drilling & banging, we did tell Island Escapes about this halfway through our holiday but nothing was done , the back doors would not open , even if we could all we had to look at was a skip . On one of the days the water got completely turned of with my wife in the shower & me trying to make breakfast, we was not asked they just turned it off. This was not the relaxing holiday we hoped for . We did ask for compensation & all we got was £150 & the holiday cost us over £2600, the house it self was lovely but stuck in the middle of the main house driveway so you have cars going past it so you get no privacy. In all we are very upset.
