Cottage with lots of character!
Great location, bus, trains and town all walkable. However the cottage cleaning routine needs to be improved(cobwebs, dust behind sofa etc, windows dirty). The Garden needs attention&weeding!

Good location in Castletown
Good location with short distance to town square for shops and Hotel/ Food. Small cottage on Mill Road, no parking outside. (Nearby roads can be used 5-10 minutes walk) Ideal to experience a Manx cottage for 2 people. Not very comfortable small double bed with lumpy pillows. No electric shaver point in bathroom (Needed to request a 2 pin adaptor plug from office in Castletown) Soft seats in lounge sofa. Very well equipped kitchen appliances and tableware etc. Garden overgrown - Weeds, needs maintenance.

7 night stay in the IOM
Cottage centrally located in Castletown for access to amenities eg: shops , buses , steam railway and pubs . Great atmosphere in and around the market square . On the whole a comfortable stay but the owners should make more of the garden to further enhance the property .

Nice and confortable
Curlew Cottage is a nice, cozy, place to stay. It has all you need on a holiday and it is situated in a quiet Street. Castletown is a good place to stay, especially this week, with the Grand Prix, because the circuit isn’t in this part of the island. It’s a Nice and quiet place to stay.
