Located within 124 acres of land at Ballacross lies self-catering holiday cottage, Puffin Cottage. The name is inspired by the Puffins who regularly nest on Peel Hill during the summer. Just a 5-minute drive away from the heart of Peel, this property is now a modern, airy space with an open plan kitchen/diner, comfy living room with a wood burner and two bedrooms sleeping 4 people. In the summer, open the doors onto the spacious patio with a table and chairs, to bask in the lovely weather and countryside atmosphere.
Perfect for a couple or small family, in the winter enjoy a cosy day in and stay warm next to the wood burner, or head out in the summer and uncover what this historic seaside town has on offer!
A leisurely walk away from Puffin Cottage lies local amenities. The Highwayman, a large family friendly pub, serves food and shows live sport. West Coast Fitness, the Western Swimming Pool and a Shoprite supermarket are also nearby.
Carry on past these amenities and drop into the historic town of Peel. Here you can discover the Island’s Viking heritage at Peel Castle and the House of Mannanan. Bask in the sun at either Peel or Fenella beach along with some local cuisine such as freshly fried queenies or some ice cream from Davison’s. Peel is also home to Moore’s Kipper Yard where you can still see Kippers, fish that has been split from tail to head and smoked being cured in the traditional manner.
Peel is a great base for walkers and cyclists with an abundance of hills and countryside nearby. Don't forget to take a look at the Raad-Ny-Foillan coastal footpath which winds through Peel, a perfect way to explore the coast. Alternatively there is The Triskelion Way Trail, offering varied walking conditions, glorious countryside and coastal views and historically significant places. Watersport enthusiasts are also catered for with kayak hire, fishing, boat trips and Basking Shark watch. It's also very common to see Dolphins in the bay! The Heritage Trail follows the old steam railway line from Douglas to Peel and provides an easy route for cyclists and walkers alike.
